Youri Tielemans

[olaftab]

After Youri's slow start someone near me shouted out, "Get back to Leicester!!"

That lasted well...

You sit close to Aftab then?

Haha...whilst I may criticise him on here I will never be rude to him whilst he's on the pitch in a Villa shirt.

[dcdavecollett]

I don't know who it was but I'm sure Aftab is far too polite to make rude comments...

[eamonn]

A bit worried that the attitude of this chap will be his downfall here. He's "downed tools" at previous clubs, he's yet to pick them up for us, a couple of nice passes against Palace aside.

If he's a passenger off-the-ball and shunning defensive work, he won't be someone we can rely on.

[Risso]

Early days but bugger me, let's pick it up a bit eh, Youri?

[Drummond]

With Ramsey back he may find it harder still to get a game.

[pauliewalnuts]

He was fucking terrible last night. Not alone in that, by any stretch of the imagination, but he was the one whining loudly about not getting game time.

[usav]

Early days but bugger me, let's pick it up a bit eh, Youri?

He's had one good game so far that I can recall, and that was one of the friendlies over here in the States.

[PeterWithesShin]

A few decent passes but overall a massive disappointment so far. Has had chances to play himself into the starting 11 and taken none of them.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s not going well so far. Hopefully he can sort it out asap, looks utterly devoid of confidence to me. That pass back to Konsa was a prime example of that, it was so tentative.

[Risso]

I was really pleased when we got him, despite 2 or 3 Leicester mates saying he was a waster and his legs had gone. I'd hate for them to be right, so Youri, please pull your finger out of your arse. Thank you.

[brontebilly]

His legs look gone. Pace of even game tonight far too much for him. That last 12-18 months of his career that he spent in the deep freeze at Leicester hasn't worn off yet.

[PaulWinch again]

I might be wrong, but I don’t think it’s a physical thing. It might be manifesting in that, but looks psychological to me. He’s very tentative and looks a bit like he’s trying to avoid the ball.

[rougegorge]

He had been slow and gets dispossessed too easily. It's worrying if his legs have gone as he's only 26.

A Leicester fan at work told me he was rubbish last season as well.

[AV84]

I think the comments he made on international duty were taken out of context, blown out of proportion a bit, so I'm not a fan of that being thrown back at him now.

However, as many have said, he's had several chances to stake a claim for league starts, and hasn't even secured himself as a 2nd string substitute. I'd assume the fact Emery sticks with him means he's seeing something we're not. But as far as performances go, he really hasn't impressed.

[Stu82]

Should have gone for Guendozi
