Those Thursday night performances seem a galaxy far far away now, dont they? I really thought he'd put his "weight" around this season, but it's not happening is it.

And besides, I always rate a footballer by trying to work out if they could do more keepy uppy's than me. In this instance, I doubt it, therefore I place him in the bad bracket of players.

Ha ha, Phil's just missing his bottle of blonde

Does anyone know where Anichebe prefer's playing? Is it up front? I'm presuming so. Is he always thrown up front on his own though? It's harsh to criticise a player who's being mis-managed or played out of position, but I think it's fair to say he's not a goal scorer or a great right midfielder/winger, sadly. His stats would prove that, I guess

He got played clean through today and fell over.

The commentator said "well Victor Anichebe is known for his workrate" and I actually sobbed.

He did alright against City away this season before getting sent off :lol:

Annnnnd at the arse end of last season he was playing well down the right wing.

Boom.

The 4 seconds when he won the header/smashed Martin Kelly in the derby this year.

The FA cup run in 09, bossed the villa defence won a peno and set up Cahill if I remember right, a derby game or two. Back end of last season he was our best player...All from playing on the wing.

It's why I was his biggest fan. He was showing what he can be and used his attributes... He also had a good pre season and looked a stand out....

But he's been shocking this season and now I'm his biggest hater. And the more you watch him the more you find out he doesn't have a football brain, will never break into the side, and would barely get into a championship side.

The Bolton game will never be forgotten when he gave up and refused to run.

Moyes has got it wrong keeping him.

He plays like he has one leg shorter than the other.

How much is he on a week by the way, someone mentioned 40k, but that HAS to be wrong. Were there reports that he rejected 30k at one stage?

I think he's on 30K. I'd rather not know to be honest with you.

It was meant to be just paper talk him wanting 30k a week. He won't be on that, 25k tops.

Moyes likes him lots and has an "idea" of what he offers.

He is just incapable of showing it. He can't even hold the ball up well if at all. Compare to the yak, which moyes thinks he has the traits to be like, he'll never be that good
