Youri Tielemans

[usav]

Has been great most of the season, but cooled off the last few games.  His delivery tonight was just awful.

A complete passenger tonight, as bad as he was 12 months ago. Could and should have been hooked at half time or just after.

Gave the ball away far too many times as well.  An off night. 

Their fans didn't seem enamoured with him.

“Nobody in their right mind would say we’ve upgraded our midfield this summer”.

Anon, H&V.

I don't agree with it, but I don't think it's that outlandish a statement. I guess whoever said it was probably a big Luiz fan and so that comes down to whether you think Onana will be better in the long run or not. And of course Barrenechea was sent out on loan so is of no help to us this season.

Why it's wrong though is the presence of Barkley. He's such a good option to bring off the bench to see out games, but I also think he'll be useful starting games as the season progresses. He's a really good all rounder and can sit in front of the defence or play a more attacking role. Great bit of business as it turns out.

Not sure if percy is referring to me but i did say when the window shut i have massive reservations we are not stronger than last year. It worried me that we got rid of two of pur biggest goal scoring midfielders and havent replaced them. I didnt expect that bailey would go back to being shit and our style of play will just go to slow lethargic shit. Its so pedestrian.

Im sticking to my analysis in the summer we are weaker now than last year. Man this sucks

I can’t remember who it was.

I’d forgotten that he used to play for Anderlecht and I didn’t realise that Anderlecht’s biggest rivals are Bruges. We were sitting behind the goal in the home end last night and heard the stick he was getting every time the ball came near him.

Youri had a right stinker mast night.  Really poor performance from him

Shame he let it get to him.He was crap.

He was clearly targeted by the oppo, and it clearly disconcerted him. Unfortunately, Rogers didn't pick up the slack.

Yeah i think that definitely had a impact

There were only 23k in the ground, and you'd guess 3-4k of them were Villa, You'd hope he wasn't put off by what is a medium sized crowd for the Championship.

[VillaTim]

His delivery from free kicks and corners was shocking , duffed them all like the ball was flat or something , Bailey the same , it was bizarre .

He's probably never been jeered like that before. Lesta couldn't hate him after he won the FA Cup, even if he phoned-in all his subsequent appearances for them but he was chubby and lazy at the time, happens to us all from time to time.

[dcdavecollett]

What, getting chubby and lazy..?

[eamonn]

Yeah! Our team never wins the FA Cup, never mind us as individuals...
