VillaCas

I’d like to see them both playing

Coutinho working hard and not hiding - will come good soon

I think we’re a lot better? Need a slice of luck and a goal. Everton are tricky to break down.

You’re right - I meant that he was the one managing the relations with the players rather than some kind of tactical genius - I’d hoped that with their own players and time to work we would be markedly better this season - it’s still early days but signs are not good

I’ve been supportive of SG since he’s been here and keen for him to have a pre-season and bring in his own players -my expectations were that we’d hit the ground running this season and capitalise on the relatively favourable fixtures which start the season We certainly didn’t do that and the Everton game now becomes ridiculously important SG is with the players daily, but from my limited perspective he has made some fundamental errors - I see no advantage of stripping Mings of the Captaincy and certainly it was crazy to drop him against a Keiffer Moore led Bournemouth - McGinn should not be Captain and seemed embarrassed by the whole thing for me - How can Buendia not be starting games? High pressure for SG and two or three more defeats will see him under enormous pressure (or gone) I worry that Beale was the guy holding everything together behind the scenes An impressive and authoritative performance required Saturday

Mings had to start against Bournemouth - crazy that he didnt McGinn is quite the wrong choice for captain Buendia needed to start ahead of Ramsey We need a couple more in sharpish (I know Coutinho has been getting stick but I’d persevere as I think with Buendia alongside he will get the space he needs to play) Supportive of Gerrard last season but the clock is ticking now!

Massive error to not start Mings - bullshit decision by Gerrard

Poor so far - not really clear what the plan is. It seems to be hitting flat low crosses behind the forwards Gerrard needs to get this sorted sharpish - no patience this season!

For me yes - I think Buendia coming on will give Coutinho more room. Bailey has been decent but I’d still change things

Mings, Buendia and Luiz for Konsa, Bailey and Ramsey

Missing Mings! No aerial power in either box Unlucky to concede, doing ok but need to up it 10%

Awful from Watkins….you don’t get half an hour to sort your feet out

Much better second half Would be interesting to see how Archer performs against United

Forwards are the difference for me. Sancho and Rashford have pace and are willing to run behind - Watkins and Ings don’t and aren’t Archer, Luiz and Buendia for Watkins, Ings and mcginn at half-time Easy to overreact to this but early days - I’m still confident we’ll be ok next season

Doing okay. Pitch not conducive to decent football. im not sure McGinn and Ramsey are the best players to unpack the United defence

….not showing Villa v Crystal Palace - the big one??!!!?? LOL Ive been to the Crown and Anchor before - I’ll give it a try! Thanks for the reply

I’ll be in Vegas for Sunday’s game. 6am start Does anyone have a location to watch the game?

Just watched the game at the Bluefoot Bar, North Park, San Diego Brilliant bar and fantastic welcome from Rod the bartender…..cheers mate

Cheers Dude, I’ll check it out. Also been told about “Bluefoot Bar” home to the San Diego Lions Group so should be sorted. My missus is astounded……she just keeps saying “Burnley?” And rolling her eyes

I’m in Carlsbad about half hour from SanDiego - anyone know of a bar where I could catch the game? Much Appreciated UTV

Lol very glad to hear positive news about your health situation….stay well mate UTV

Anyone know where I can watch the match around San Diego / Carlsbad area?

He gets all his minutes against lower PL teams or when the game is already won its a short career - he won’t get this time back sitting around on the bench Peps reluctance to trust him will also put an England starting spot back Sad

Time for a couple of changes

Nothing in this - let’s hope that we get the lucky break and not them
