Yeremy Pino

[JHB]

Ayew got some grief too and Kamada's worth is only now becoming clearer. A bit clearer anyway.

Kamada is one of those players who when he plays is unspectacular and doesn’t stand out. However, when he’s not been available our midfield simply hasn’t worked and Wharton in particular has looked much less effective. That more than anything shows Kamada’s value

More irony if post-Glasner he becomes the player he thought we were getting. Of our current midfielders he's at least shown previously that he can score.

This,
Pino will come good for us or (like so many players in the past) will end up leaving, getting the support he needs and then becomes a World beater elsewhere.
Some fans are not happy unless they have someone to pick on. Before Pino it was Kamada, before that Edouard and so it goes on.
There's no point in calling for everyone to get behind him because the moaners will always moan. They'll keep talking about his faults and complain about him (as if they are top coaches) until either he hits some real form or they find someone else to bitch about.
Good news Yeremy, Kamada is back very soon 🙄

Agree, not sure he will be a world beater, as he lacks a little pace, but he should prove to be very good for us.

Last week i noticed how well Summerville is now playing for West Ham. Last season he looked out of his depth and lacked the physicality for the Prem (despite having previously played there for Leeds).

Players take time to adapt - a new country, language, team mates, formation, food etc

Great example.

The good thing now is that with Pino, Guessard, Sarr, Johnson and I guess Nketiah and Uche we dont have to play Pino (or anyone) for 90 mins week in week out. Plenty of firepower there.

He had a very poor game yesterday and was clearly disappointed to be subbed early. Can’t have helped him to see Guessand come on and play with the directness and effectiveness he has been lacking

I think a rest from the starting line up is what he needs. He’s played a lot recently and it just isn’t working. A few games on the bench and start him in the Conference League playoff.

Works very hard and has good attitude but it just ain’t happening for him at the moment

 

[Elphers40]

The physical demands of the Premier League are finding him out. He tries really hard (maybe this is part of the problem) but nothing he does seems to bear fruit. I think there’s a very talented player in there somewhere- but he just doesn’t work as our left winger. He is too one footed and doesn’t have enough pace or trickery to beat a right back and deliver a cross.

I agree the physical aspect of EG when he came on turned the tied for us yesterday and I think he should start in place of Pino midweek.

This could be part of the problem - he's pushing too hard to make things happen instead of letting things develop and picking a pass. He often tries first time balls which don't come off and leave others isolated out of position. Not to single JPM out but he's not the ideal striker for Pino to put through.

I think Pino in the prem just isn't good to be played out wide.

Would be interested to see him play as a lone no 10 or in a midfield 3 with the right CDM covering him and Wharton/Kamada

Kamada has been a big part of our success. And hopefully will continue to do so.

Pino.....sorry, i have run out of patience. He gets bullied off the ball too easily. Our performance dramatically improved when we subbed Pino off yesterday. Including the winning goal.

 

[VinceHilaire]

I think the fact there is now some healthy competition in the front 3 can only be good for his development.

If he desperately want to be in the starting 11, then his performances need to warrant a place.

 

[TheBigToePunt]

In his 30 min cameo yesterday, Guessand actually gave the ball away a few times and disappeared up a few blind alleys and dead ends. The point, however, is that Guessand could offset his poor moments with an assist (simple enough, but would you trust Pino to play that pass correctly?) as well a couple of surges down the left where he carried the ball, and a couple of moments where he beat his man with a trick and quick feet. Pino can't. All he does is the poor bits at the moment, with very little to offset them.

On this very limited evidence, Guessand seems a bit of a Bolasie / Zaha type, in that he may frustrate and give the ball away trying off-the-cuff and individualistic things, but the bits that come off for him may make it all worthwhile. He also seems like he may have the pace and power to make something happen by himself, which we need.

Pino isn't able to point to enough positive contributions to offset his many errors at the moment, nor is he able to carry a game by himself in bursts here and there.

 

[MrRobbo]

Lets not write the lad off. There is a good player there.

Guessard made a great contribution. Maybe enough to get a start on Wednesday, where Pino might come off the bench to win us the game.

 

[Canterbury Palace]

He seems to have a good attitude and works hard but just isn't delivering anywhere near regularly enough. He's been with us for over half a season now and I still couldn't really tell you where he should be played or what sort of player he really is.

Guessand made a game winning impact within minutes yesterday and Villa fans online have been saying that he would suit our system. It could be that we have the same problem with Pino, where he isn't for this formation.

I would like to see Guessand or Johnson get a start in the next game and we'll see if Pino can thrive with the competition.

 

[Palacesince64]

Pino is struggling with the pace and physicality of the Premier League. It’s affecting his passing. He may adapt in time as Kamada has done but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s off in the summer.
Guessand on the other hand is a monster with talent.

He doesn't play out wide, that is the problem, he is a line hugging winger in a team that doesn't play wingers

 

[Putitout]

Pino, absolutely does have technical ability. But so far his light frame doesn’t seem suited to the Premiership, and he is getting bullied out of his game. Yesterday he couldn’t get into the game at all. Difficult to see him changing this.

 

[NEILLO]

I think Pino needs some time out of the firing line.

We are now in a position to do that.

I think we'll see more what he has to offer next season.

He can bulk up a bit between now and next season. Work on physicality. He should also get more used to our set up and the conditions, pace and style of the league over time. I'm expecting a gradual improvement and a decent player eventually. To be fair, Wirtz has struggled - but will likely be decent after a while.

Not if you ask Villa fans, they have slagged him off all season!

What is so disappointing about YP is that his attempt at a final pass nearly always goes astray. He seems to set up an opening and then waste the opportunity. He isn't cutting it at the moment, EG looks a great replacement, and let's hope YP can develop and be more of a force next season. Depending on who the new manager is, of course.
