Reason? Organisation. Fitness. I am unsure about that.....but you could be right. it could be the French lads have just taken this long to settle in to the league. Ayew alone has improved greatly from the start of the season. its a speculative call In my view. it has equally taken Remi c10 games to just find his feet.

Stevo985 Posted January 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2016 Bit given what some of the players have said (Veretout mainly) having Garde here has definitely helped them settle more than the previous "manager" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Sinclair is far from a complete player but he has suffered from playing in a formation which doesn't suit him or relied upon to be a main striker which he isn't. If he was played on the wing or as a wide forward behind an intelligent striker who created space for him to make runs into he would have had more opportunities and more goals. I would have liked to have seen him on one side with Traore on the other with Kozak as the main striker. Either of the below formations would have suited him a lot better and I'm sure we would have looked a lot more dangerous. Sanchez Traore Bacuna Gueye Sinclair Kozak -------------------------------------------------- Bacuna Gueye Traore Gil/Grealish Sinclair Kozak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 doesnt win over 90 minutes in this game then this is his Bradford Disagree It's as bad as Bradford but for many reasons Bradford was shocking from Lambert (eg taking all the midfielders off for strikers and then wondering why there was no one to put the ball in...) Tonight and the previous game to me show what he's up against, this is the players, Wycombe want it far far more than our players do, embarrassing us in terms of desire and effort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 no I would never want Villa to lose but we should have won the 1st game or at least more comfortable today FWIW City will probably knock 6 past our defence and kill any confidence we have slowly built up in recent weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alreadyexists Posted January 19, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2016 Plenty of PL sides struggle against lower opposition in the cup, that's what makes the FA Cup such a great boon for lower sides and for the media. We kept a clean sheet, and scored two under pressure, and we're through to the next round. Villa won, that's a strange enough occourance this year so enjoy it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted January 19, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2016 9 changes, players rested, comfortably through, albeit a fairly dull game. Job done. Would have been better to do it in the first game, but no complaints about tonight from what I heard. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
