The struggle continues at Aston Villa: What’s happened to Youri Tielemans?

A great signing on paper, what has happened to the Belgian?

Transcript

00:00 Still on Aston Villa, Charlie, Jorri Tieleman has seen a fantastic coupe in the summer from relegated Leicester.

00:05 Obviously an incredible player at times for them. He's come to Villa.

00:09 Has it really, has it massively gone to plan so far?

00:13 Why do you think that is and what are Villa fans' thoughts towards him at the moment?

00:18 Yeah, brutal perhaps from me, but I've given him a four out of ten in my player ratings of the season so far

00:23 because I think he's been so disappointing.

00:26 If you reflect him compared to the rest of the squad, maybe he's more of a five or six,

00:30 but based on the expectation before him and the promise he had, he is a four.

00:35 I just don't think he's been anywhere near sharp enough.

00:39 He looks pretty sluggish in games, doesn't seem to have the effort to run back after making mistakes

00:43 and just doesn't have that same presence that he did at Leicester.

00:46 So really disappointing, I think. Fans already getting on his back.

00:50 Though he's not had the chance to have a proper run of games yet. Is that what he needs?

00:55 I don't know, potentially, but he's not going to get that if he's playing the way he is.

00:59 So it's going to be a really tough time for Tieleman.

01:00 Seems to have already, maybe not had a falling out with Unai Emery,

01:03 but he's obviously frustrated with his lack of game time.

01:06 He's been fairly vocal about that.

01:08 Be interesting to see if he can pick himself up or if this is going to be a failed transfer.
