Mile Jedinak - Released

I expect he will play against Boro.

Needs to pla at times for the aerial abilities as he really strong in this department and villa lacking that as shown by playing Swansea.
Interesting how to include him though as midfield is his best position

[PaulWinch again]

Should not be anywhere near a start. He is so far off the pace.

[Dazvillain]

Used to be influential in that position... poor tonight

[Jon Crofts]

Needs to be put in a cannon and fired into the sun. A liability.

[Steve67]

Very very rusty.  First game for many months.  He was poor but he's usually, slightly less poor.

[Ian.]

He was off the pace before he got injured. Bruce has left us so limited in such key areas. This stupid transfer window really cocks things up for new managers coming in.

[Risso]

Finished as a player.  Woeful tonight.  Daft decision by Smith to play him, one I trust won't be repeated.

[CT]

Absolutely finished. He offers nothing.

Another atrocious signing who has delivered very little for a massive outlay on wages.

[paul_e]

He's never been quick and mobile but tonight was like getting some in their mid 40s to sit in there, he got completely bypassed time and again. I reckon the injury took the last bit of time he had left in the game.

[Ian.]

Maybe try him at centre back?

[PaulWinch again]

I’m assuming that’s tongue in cheek.

[Ian.]

I’m assuming that’s tongue in cheek.

Maybe!

[SoccerHQ]

His passing completion stats must'be been horrific tonight, I'm guessing around 10%.

I can actually understand why he started but like most of our central midfielders he's gone in the summer.

[brontebilly]

Sad to be honest as he is a great pro and was humiliated tonight.

Did a fine job for us last season but didnt have a break with the world cup last summer and at his age you need them.

Last time I saw him play in midfield for us was Blackburn away where he was miles off the pace too, but tonight unfortunately was a horror show.
