No it,s not .He frequently gets the wrong side of the man too.Early ridiculous post of the day contender. ^
Yes it was. Was laughably over-critical and harsh.No it,s not .He frequently gets the wrong side of the man too.
He was out of position for agoal v WBA
But he is good going forward
He looked like a clone of Bardsley playing LB to be honest.For anybody who actually watched the match, how did he play?
Haven't been too impressed with PVA so far, would Jones warrent a start on Saturday or will he be a right back that can cover left back?
Well you're the only one that hasn't been...
I agree, he absolutely needs to improve, but to get somebody who is outstanding going forward, outstanding at defending, makes no mistakes etc. costs an awful lot more than we can pay unfortunately.Nah, he isn't. He's been the most culpable in 2 of the 3 goals we've conceded. So he certainly needs to improve.
Well you're the only one that hasn't been...
My main concern was something nobody has mentioned yet. He's horribly one footed. 3 desperate times against west Brom he gave the ball away swinging with that foot rather than use his right. Against Man Utd when he was getting closed down quick he struggled to open himself up & forced himself backwards, not to be safe, but because he couldn't go inside.I dont get this pva cant defend shit is this the latest bandwagon to jump on?

PVA will be a very good signing. Give him more than two premier league games before ripping him to shreds.
spot on mate. Valencia got one bloody cross in which Mannone might have cut out or Seb should've tracked Mata for the goal. Pva had cracking game against a seasoned prem winger.I dont get this pva cant defend shit is this the latest bandwagon to jump on? hes looked as good as the rest of the defence, bar the mistake against valencia which after he never got a sniff again i thought he was good in defence and his pace is always going to cause issue. Hes the best of the bunch from the summer signings so far imho and i was not expecting much from him.
I think that sums it up for me. More time in the team and a better understanding of what sort of cover he can expect from those around him will help. IMO he switched off for the goal in the first game and should have done a better job of stopping the cross coming in against Man Utd. He'll learn, improve and we (hopefully) won't see those sort of mistakes to often.PVA Has not been excellent. A left back, directly at fault for 2 goals within 2 games. He will get better though however, needs to switch on when defending.
Horrible performance in truth. Got skinned alive a few times and and couldn't/wouldn't get up and support as he didn't want the ball on his left foot and killed many attacks by turning back inside. Having two right footers down the left hand side made us horribly unbalanced.
Maybe he needed the game and maybe he was out of position, but the early signs were worrying.
Bardsley isn't a better defender, he dove into tackles more. That's about it.I agree, he absolutely needs to improve, but to get somebody who is outstanding going forward, outstanding at defending, makes no mistakes etc. costs an awful lot more than we can pay unfortunately.
We've got a rough diamond perhaps - no doubt he could have defended better (and yes, as a full back, that is his primary job), but surely the point is he is an exciting prospect, bought for an amazingly low price, with potential to improve, our first owned left back since McCartney, young and energetic, exciting going forward.
Phil Bardsley is a better defender and he got slammed on here - unfortunately we haven't got the budget to compete for signatures of complete full backs, but hopefully here we have an attacking, pacey full back whose defensive capabilities can be coached and improved?
Well you're the only one that hasn't been...
Super Phil has returned?
