The big Aston Villa star drew a blank on Saturday.
Aston Villa fans on Twitter are criticising Wesley for his latest goal-shy display.
Dean Smith’s side drew 2-2 with Burnley at Villa Park on Saturday in a game where the big Brazilian striker did little to justify the £22 million that was spent on bringing him to England this past summer.
The former Club Brugge marksman is looking like a man in dire need of self-confidence and it won’t do much for his belief if he sees what Aston Villa supporters have been writing about him on social media.
Wesley cut an isolated and frustrated figure as the spearhead of Villa’s attack yesterday and here’s what fans have been saying on Twitter:
The big man certainly has potential and two goals in seven Premier League outings isn’t a terrible return.
But it’s abundantly obvious that he is in the process of adjusting to life in England after moving from Belgium.
He looked like a Christian Benteke-esque striker during the summer and hopefully for Aston Villa fans he can emulate the former Liverpool hitman in competitive games shortly.
Physically he’s a handful and a lot of Premier League defences will struggle against him in that regard, but if he doesn’t have the ball-playing ability to match then he isn’t much danger.
