    So you don't feel he has anything to do with the defence ?
  2. gurru991
    JT was an amazing defender but he has shown me nothing as a defensive co-ordinator. The verdict is still open on him for me right now. I don't know the politics between DS & JT and don't know how much freedom JT has but he is not proven for me yet.

    Then the problem lies with Smith if he can't organize a team to cover for players pushing forward. I'm all for offence but there has to be a plan in place to protect the defence.

    He just doesn't seem to be able to build a defence. It's not possible to survive in the Premier League without being defensively responsible.If he keeps Villa up then a bona fide defensive coach is needed.
  5. gurru991
    Definitely agree. I've always thought that Brendan was a bit shaky on the defensive side of things but Kolo seems to have made a difference.

    Rodgers brought defensive coach Koko Toure with him & Soyuncu credits him with his improvement plus playing alongside Jonny Evans helps. Playing centre back is like sex. A good partner helps.

    For me playing out the season without a relegation battle is like a massage without a happy ending. Just a waste of time !!!

    It makes me wonder how many players will refuse to play. This whole thing gets crazier by the day !!

    The 29 to 31 year old player is a very short term investment, its fine as long as big money isn't involved.

    Why was he shit ? And why is he so good at Wolves ?
  11. gurru991
    London teams do have an extra appeal to a lot of players especially if the player is already in London. Cahill was never coming to Villa.
  12. gurru991
    Clubs like Wolves & Sheffield did not have that "expect to be relegated" attitude & a big club like Villa should never have that attitude. If you think you will fail then you almost certainly will.

    Are you happy with sitting 19th in a 20 team league ? Are you happy with conceding 56 goals after 28 games ? Those are some of the reasons that I say the new signing have not been good enough but if you are happy then thats awesome.

    I agree partially but I feel that it is the team that has been found out, not just Mings. The acquisitions last Summer were just not good enough overall. I don't think Mings is the next VVD but I do think he can play at the Premier League level.
  15. gurru991
    At 27 years old Mings probably has at least six years at the top level and would benefit greatly playing for a more defensively responsible team. Defence is just not the back four, the whole team has to buy in and I feel that the midfield at Villa is suspect defensively. If relegation can be avoided and a couple of quality players added then I think that Mings could really excel.

    Players have such short careers that they have to do what is best for themselves. I couldn't blame Jack in the slightest if AV get relegated & he wants to move on. I also would have a hard time being too critical if a top six club came calling for him and he moved on. Clubs like Man U & Man C use their money & status to get what they want, Leicester lost Mahrez to City & Maguire to united but did manage to get top dollar. The system is set up in favour of the big boys !!

    Only the bottom three would vote against it.
  18. gurru991
    You are right . Evans has been outstanding all season. He is the reason Soyuncu was able to have a break thru year.
  19. gurru991
    As time progresses my feeling is that the year will be cancelled. I originally thought that league would restart, but not anymore. Just how relegation & promotion will be dealt with I have no idea. As always it will come down to money !!
  20. gurru991
    Probably Burnley's as well.
  21. gurru991
    At 24 years old I personally was as dumb as a sack full of hammers so while not condoning Jacks behaviour, I can certainly understand it. A big bag of money & unlimited tail would have killed me at 24.
  22. gurru991
    It's become quite apparent that the Danny Drinkwater that played for Leicester has gone & doesn't look like coming back. He was a massive gamble especially after not making the Burnley side & I can see why Villa thought they might getting a deal. How he can show up so badly out of shape is beyond me & how Villa didn't pick up on that is worrying. He has one more year on his contract at Chelsea & I guess he will milk it to the end.
  23. gurru991
    I actually thought that the move had a real chance of being good for both club & player but that may be the reason I'm not the head of scouting.
  24. gurru991
    Whatever the final outcome is people will be pissed off. It's a no win situation for the league!!

    Points per game average.
