Youri Tielemans

[john e]

It's strange how he's shit, then fabulous, then shit again.

I keep seeing this fabulous thing and how great was in certain games
I reckon it must’ve been 2 games at the most and suddenly he became a must have player,

He played a good ball in for a goal the other day but you can’t live of that
He’s lightweight and his passing is overrated, it’s not good enough for a top for side

[chrisw1]

Two of my mates who both go to every Leicester home and away game both warned me his legs had gone. I put that down to bitterness about relegation and losing their best players, but it looks like they're right.

He's only 26, has he had a really bad injury in the past or something, because he's about as mobile as Robert Pires with a walking frame.

I keep hearing this but I read (or heard) the other day that his running and sprint stats are right up there with the highest in our squad, so I'm not sure if it's true.

His passing isn’t overrated in terms of he makes passes that very few players can. But the problem is he does it too infrequently and when he’s not he loses the ball too much.

His through balls are too often underhit

His problem is that he is just so slow...

And he's not particularly strong either so unless we are dominating possession, pinging the ball about for fun, he is a liability...

When I think of him at Leicester I think of his shooting and thunder goals. Where has that gone?

[Somniloquism]

With all the Leon Bailey non-story out there.....

Youri also did an interview.

Youri Tielemans: “I never regretted my choice (to join Aston Villa). It happens step by step. I know there is a project in place & there is sometimes a period of adaptation. I’ve already worked a lot & I know that I’m reaping the rewards now..”

He didn't actually score that many at Leicester with 6 being his best return for goals in the league and 21 in 4.5 seasons. His assists are matching his Leicester levels though.

I think he was given freer reign at Lesta but if you were a fan and watched him every week, you would have heard similar complaints about how crap off the ball/tubby/slow he had become. A lot of their fans were happy to see him go, believing his attitude stank last season.

[Aldridge Villa]

I’ve still no idea whether he’s any good or not.

I’ve still no idea whether he’s any good or not.

Tielemans strikes me as having two modes - brilliant and terrible.

[VillaTim]

I think he's a very good player to have as part of a top 5 squad. Working out how best to use him and position is probably the conundrum.

[ChicagoLion]

He was brilliant against Citeh, has had some decent games, don’t think he can do it for 90 minutes though.

[Chris Smith]

I think one of the issues is that due to injuries and suspensions he’s had to cover for others so hasn’t been able to play in a consistent position. I know other have had to do the same but coupled with being new to the team it possibly explains his fluctuating levels.

[KevinGage]

For his size and build you'd expect decent upper body strength and at least something approximating a turn of pace.

But he seems to possess all the upper body strength of Barry Bannan, with a turn of pace that makes Gareth Barry look rapid.
