Players that are simply not good enough
« on: March 21, 2021, 09:35:14 PM »
Trez- awful at almost everything he does

Mcginn- lacks pace, guile and makes so many poor decisions - not good enough

Barclay- clearly been told we are not buying hence the 25% effort

Luiz - folk on here were raving about him but i never saw it then and see it less now

El Ghazi- unless he scores he is anonymous

Traore - bit like AEG unless contibutes with goals can also be a liability - but would persevere

Davis - all to be said has been said. We would be more threatening brining on wardrobe

We simply need better than these

Very harsh on McGinn , yes he needs more quality around him , but you can’t fault his work rate and ability to pick a pass.

I actually saw a lot in Davis tonight. I’ve been his biggest critic but I think your statement is harsh.

Davis = to even talk about him as an asset speaks volumes.

Can we have a thread like this next time we win a game just for balance ? I know it's gonna happen someday as Morrissey and then Bowie once said. To bring it back to the Villa, there's a few buggers on here who saw them both live at the NEC after another fine Villa performance from the 95/96 vintage*

*Well, the day before. A 1-0 win at The Dell, Super Tommy Johnson. A better Trezeguet.

This is more of players we should move on. Heaton, Kalinic,Elmo,Taylor,Trez,Troare, Davis and Barkley. I don’t think getting rid of Luiz is a good idea I think we need to play him in games where we can and Nakamba in others. Playing a team like spurs with runners for me was very much a Nakamba game.

I think Kalinic has already departed.

"Players that are just too good for us"?

Can he take a free kick like Conor?

Including McGinn and Luis in this list is just daft.

El Ghazi and Traore are typical wingers - they'll have just as many bad games as good.

The other 3 aren't good enough.

The winger problem is obvious. Luiz and McGinn have proven their quality before.
