Because I think Rodgers is better through the middle, Zaniolo give us a natural left footer and Diaby frees up more space for Bailey. I just think we'd be more balanced
-
Get Zaniolo on for Diaby at HT and get Rodgers through the middle
-
I agree. Rodgers and Diaby need to drop into the spaces to receive the ball.

Defence not tracking runners for the ball over the top. Piss poor
-
Looking very disjointed atm. Wondering if we would benefit with the extra man in midfield like Zaniolo instead of Diaby. Allowing Rodgers to be more central. Really not keen on Bailey and Diaby on together in these type of games. Hopefully they prove me wrong
-
I agree, we didn't have control of the midfield however, we stopped Chelsea taking control of it with Youri in there. When Diaby came on we gave them full control imo
-
Dougie lol?! What you on about, should I have called him Doug like you because it sounds more manly ... That's your focus instead of the claim we're blessed with several players very similar.... You then point out Rodgers as an example which I found baffling tbh. I wasn't getting my nickers in a twist at all, I was just pointing out the fact that we really don't have anyone similar. Especially Rodgers.
-
What you on about, we haven't got anyone similar to Dougie. And Rodgers certainly isn't. Both completely different style of player. Tielemans is the closest but still a very different player. We've also already established DL is really not a DM, he's just operating there because our number one DM is injured and the club decided to let our back up DM go out on loan.
-
I agree with this. We are though in a needs must situation so many players aren't playing in the preferred or natural positions
-
Lets not sugar coat it.. He was awful last night yet seems to always avoid criticism from many because of his personality and the fact he's a tryer. Kept running into trouble and several times just punting the ball to nowhere giving the ball back to Chelsea.
-
I don't believe Tim's to blame especially as he replaced Luiz rather than being brought on to support him and McGinn. Imo we lost the midfield and that was the major difference in the performance second half. We lost the numbers game.
-
We gave up the midfield bringing Diaby on when Youri went off. I'd have brought on Tim instead of Diaby.
-
There was a reason Diaby got dropped in favour of Luiz which was for the additional CM. Giving that up to play Diaby centrally was a mistake imo, a mistake that allowed Chelsea to overrun us in midfield second half. They were unlucky to be 2-0 at half time but as soon as Youri went off we should've stuck with the gameplan and kept the additional body in the centre.
-
He is.. Ripped the shit out of Digne all night, with ease.
-
He was the wrong sub for Tielemans tbh. Should've came on for Bailey later on. That's on Unai.
-
This is it for me.. Just back from the game and what is abundantly clear is quick physical teams can take us apart too easily. Newcastle, Spuds, Chelsea. We were very lucky to get anything out of that game tonight. Absolutely atrocious performance just getting bullied all over the park.
-
I loved the first game.... The second is going to go up a few levels.
-
He does bring all those attributes you mention.....however, and the same goes for the other players you've mentioned, if this team is to go onto another level under Emery..... which he'll demand by the way, then we will need either the players to bring more to the table or bring in players that do. That's just a cold hard fact.
-
That's all it is. I think as fans we also need to be realistic in the long term... Not just possibly about McGinn but potentially other players that are fan favourites in the squad. The team/squad if we eventually want to get closer to the top of the table and be in the CL on a regular basis that's going to require a few upgrades across the board over the next 2-3 years.
-
Only because he's the current captain.
-
No I didn't think he was great on Sunday and certainly not on the level of Teilemans or Rodgers in midfield. Lost the ball in dangerous areas a couple of times, gets smothered trying to dribble or turn out in tight areas and his passing hasn't been great either. He's had great games this season, and a fans favourite but I don't think he's been playing well at all recently. It's just my opinion
-
Are we sure it wasn't the CEO of Villa is a Coke fan? The Colombian kind. That may explain a few of the decisions since he arrived.
-
Great character and has had some great games this season but, I think he's been in pretty poor form since he came back from the ban.
-
His first couple of games I thought he might take a very long time to adapt to the pace and possibly struggle with the step up. I was wrong by a long way, I think he's a gem and it might seem a little harsh but I struggle to see Ramsey getting back into the side if Rodgers keeps improving at the rate he is. IMO he's got a seriously high ceiling having the size and strength that Jacob lacks and his passing range also appears more decisive. It's early days but he's looking like some player
-
Thank f*** social media wasn''t around in 1982 with the amount of bedwetting there was in the match thread, because we got virtually dominated in that game too. We were very poor for most the game tonight but the way that posters, "fans" turn on the players in times of adversity is horrendous.
