Birkir Bjarnason - Released

[Matt Collins]

I imagine an elephant wearing clown shoes playing on a frozen pitch would have a better touch than this guy

He was effective yday against Wigan reserves but he really doesn't look great to me at all

[cdbearsfan]

Impressive tonight. We looked much more dangerous when he was on. Beginning to think he might turn out okay.

[Dave]

Yup. Was very involved when he came on.

[J]

He was involved in giving the ball away, being needlessly offside, and shooting poorly. Yet to see him have a good game in a Villa shirt.

Just a shame about his final ball. Hourihane was in acres of space 12 yards out, but he couldn't find the cross.

Yes, thought he was poor again. A busy player who runs around a lot but contributes very little in the way of quality.

[cdbearsfan]

I think if you've decided he wasn't going to play well before he came on the pitch, then he might have had a poor game. He was excellent yesterday and we looked much more dangerous when he came on.

[Ads]

Seems that way.

I thought he did well too, added a bit of energy and drive. Understandably it has taken him a while to get up to full speed following his injury but now looks to be getting there.

[paul_e]

I thought he looked a lot like Brett Holman, ran around a lot and got involved but didn't actually impact the game very much despite that.

[Matt Collins]

Didn't watch but glad he seemed to be better

His energy and movement never in doubt

It's with the ball I've been disappointed but happy if I can be proven wrong

[aj2k77]

Very busy just lacks quality. Ok as a back up to be relied on for a few games.

Was put rough, had a great opportunity to create a chance and fluffed it, I think Holman was a better player, this bloke is very ordinary.

[Clampy]

Him and Hogan were ideal subs last night because they've got a lot of energy which oppoistion players won't like 75-80 mins into the game. I like him a lot, the sort of player every squad needs.
