What's up with Vini lately?

He could have easily got a red in 4 or 5 recent games. He didn't use to do that, or at least not that often. And it's not even the Mitro/Diego Costa/Sergio Ramos type of behavior, he's making completely unnecessary moves.

I was going to say the same thing. Vini is out of control and shows that he has a bad temper. I know we are need of strikers and have very few options at the moment but if he can't control himself then he shouldn't be played.

He is acting the complete idiot

demeant0r · November 27, 2023, 10:22:45 PM

He's worse than Mitro ever was and unjustifiably so. At least Mitro has the skill and goal scoring capability to be hot headed.

Needs to be replaced in the January window, can understand his frustration at getting very little playing time, but he needs to show he is worthy of a place and he has certainly not been doing that!

TC's Sporran · November 27, 2023, 10:23:57 PM

got to be frustration. and maybe the only way to show he is passionate?

Zero reds

Keep going Vini!

Headcase. I thought he scored some important goals last season, especially when Mitro was out and I pushed for him to get a chance this season but I've had enough of him. Get rid in January.

He needs to be more Vincent Van Gogh, and less Vinnie Jones.

SP · November 27, 2023, 10:32:27 PM

The mood he was in I'm relieved Vini didn't start, a red card waiting to happen.

Get him out the club

Nero · November 27, 2023, 10:37:02 PM

probably pissed hes on the bench and a bloke that scored 1 goal in a year is starting before him

FishaPrice · November 27, 2023, 10:39:35 PM

He has done this several times this season. Surely, our opponents will notice this and start winding him up. He needs to settle down.

Vinicius owes a debt of gratitude to the Wolves player Kilman who did not milk the minimal contact by falling to the ground and clutching his face as most Premier League players would have (including ours - remember Mitrovic against Aston Villa last season).

That would be okay for me if he did it once or twice. No matter what happens you shouldn't do things like that 4-5 times. I'm shocked he didn't get a red in any of those situations.

hovewhite · November 27, 2023, 10:43:16 PM

Think he should concentrate on his performances.

RaySmith · November 27, 2023, 10:44:26 PM

Overreaction on here to his overreaction.

Yes, he needs to learn to not to react as he does, but is probably frustrated, knows he's not playing that well, is in and out the side, and has yet to get used to the Prem.

I'm sure Silva tells him he needs to cool it - defenders will know that he's easy to wind up, is a red card waiting to happen.

H4usuallysitting · November 27, 2023, 11:35:36 PM

He's trying to get Khan Junior's attention.... wrestling anyone

andyk · November 27, 2023, 11:38:51 PM

He's probably angling for a 6 match ban, so he can head home for Christmas.

copthornemike · November 27, 2023, 11:43:02 PM

We really do have a huge central striker problem.
Aggression from your centre forward is good, not enough from Jiminez, but unfortunately Vinicius has shown too much of what I would call petulant aggression. Tonight was an excellent example.
He did improve our game when he came on but never looked effective.
