Even City wouldn't play out from there
-
I think it's less about the goals, more about how we set up tactically. The hold up play, pressing from the front and ability to draw defenders that Ollie offers is so important and I don't think we have anyone who can deputise that sufficiently. Maybe Emery thinks Duran can but it's pretty bold to only have a 19 year old as backup. I don't think we really have good cover for Bailey in the second striker role either. 3 forwards for 2 spots, with one being a 19 year old who's not played in a top league, seems quite the gamble.

Whilst I get the mantra of waiting for the right player at the right price, I think you have to consider the position the squad is in. I really struggle to see how a bad injury to Watkins doesn't completely derail the rest of our season.

Ratings & Reactions: FAC3: Villa v Stevenage
mrbluesky replied to limpid's topic in FAC3: Stevenage h
I think it's easy to say with hindsight that we should have played a stronger side; Emery is still getting to know the players, and if you can't play premier league back ups against a league 2 side, when can you play them? That team should have more than enough quality to win comfortably.- 607 replies

Unbelievable we will get nothing from this. Really got to think Ings should start over Ollie

Keepers get too much protection nowadays

Is it possibly telling that Cuts was let go given that he had say in keeper signings and Olsen was signed under him - a good shot stopper possibly, but not the kind of keeper Emery would want to purchase, or presumably that his goalkeeping coach would want to train?

Tripper diving at his feet, how could it possibly be a foul.

Real classy to boo injured players

I think that's how it has to be done in Spain. I don't know if it's the same for managers but for players, the club gives the player the money to pay their own release clause. I imagine it's the same for managers
