Villa fans cheered when he was subbed. What a nightmare this guy is having.

too much substance - IMO closer to parsley , on the plate but why.
I'm not too sure even Everton would want him if they have watched him this season.
Looks proper on it tonight, as do most of the Villa players, to be honest.
He just seems a lot more confident. Demanding the ball, playing it at a quick tempo, putting himself about. Looks lively.

As I said that he gets taken off. 
Yeah im sure he's having a huge nightmare checking his bank account every week....poor lad
I thought he had a good game.
And waking up every morning next to his gorgeous wife.
As a free agent in the summer I guess it would be fun to see Villa taking him while being relegated. He will still become lower table premier league quality player and we should have cashed in for him..
Shame his playing time wasn't given to any other prospect that's what's sad about this not the money. We spent so much money and time developping him and won't get a penny for him but I guess that happens..

Haven't seen much of Villa this season but I assume he's continued to prove his averageness? I know there's talk of the player preferring a move to Everton on a free, but I'd rate McCarthy, Barkley, Besic and Gibson ahead of him. Even an aging Barry would contribute more throughout an entire season.
The real shame is that we're told that our club is monitoring the character and attitudes of players more thoroughly than some others and yet our staff believed Anderson and Cleverley to have both of those qualities and have a big say in the future of our midfield. In reality their characters and attitudes might not turn out to be good enough for a top half premier league team let alone the biggest club in the league. So how can those members of staff have got it so very wrong?
Its not like either player has abundant technical skill and ability either

Anderson did. Plus Anderson did help us win 4 league titles and Cleverley helped us win one as well.

He really doesnt. He's quite fast with pretty average technical skills
I dont think you know what technical ability is or what the difference between technique and skill is.
I think you're doing as bad a job identifying his skills as our staff did
There was never anything all that special about Anderson. Cleverley less so.
Anderson and Cleverley won contests through one of those singapore Noodle companies Woodward/Gill/Kenyon signed as a sponsor. Neither have talent, everybody knows that, Stack.
Who cares anyway, theyre both rich and in Tom's case at least, have stunning wives.
Football talent? None.

He was named the best young player in Europe back in 2008.
Excellent, me neither, should I get Tim Sherwood on the phone ?
You and I have a real shot at this!
He has appeared in 23 of 27 games this season. Not too bad. It should be noted that he has been getting subbed a lot more in more recent games, nonetheless, he should get a PL contract next year.
I'm not clear why this thread exists. He's at Villa until his contract with us runs out. We're not going to offer him another contract so why does anyone care what he's doing.
Don't be so harsh... shitty players deserve threads too you know.
Anderson had a lot of talent, its a combination of reasons that saw him totally fecked. Clev was never as obviously talented though.
Not much much of Villa or Cleverley this season but when I have they and he have been fecking shit. Played well last night though, hope this is a turning point for him.
I know that the book on Ando, but was there ever a 20 minute spell where Ando showed all that talent?
Which book? I'm going by the talent he showed before his move here.
I can understand our shitty players having threads but, at this stage, Cleverley barely qualifies as one of ours. We're never going to see him again - just let him go.
I fully agree. This is like torturing insects. He's left us and is now playing at a level where he might get to warm the bench.
I must confess I never saw Ando before he came to United, but he never looked anything special when he arrived at OT.
Perhaps 15 minutes of decent play here and there, but if Ando was something special before he arrived his devolution into complete disgrace is even more shocking.
I hadnt seen anything live either. Just seen clips and read a lot once he signed. Some of the Portugese posters posted quite a bit about him as well later. If I'm not mistaken, he won the golden boy of Europe award too which goes to the biggest young talent.
His injuries have played a part but the guy never came across as a proper professional to me. Always seemed way too easy going. Our attempts to convert him into a CM didnt help either. Has no one to blame but himself though.
Cleverley looked to have a lot going for him and looked like cementing his place at United prior to his injury at Bolton. He has since become such an insignificant player. He was pointless again today.
Villa fans seem to completely disagree with you with many calling him one of their best players before being subbed off. He has been praised by all Villa fans since Sherwood has come in.
Poor Villans.
He's not scored or hardly created anything all season. Today was a typical Cleverley performance.

He epitomizes average.
Aye, Villa Talk have been raving about him since Sherwood took over. He's changed a lot of peoples minds by the looks of it.
From this page onwards:

Some even called him future captain material. Good on him. He's not United quality, but I'd like to see him do well in the Premier League.
He has no influence in a team but ball retention, so glad he's gone.
Yeah its nice to see him doing good. Frankly, I find it a bit embarrassing that United fans seem to find the need to continually talk shit about him.
