sne Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Only WBA has a worse shots on target stat than us, 3,3 per game. Would be good to see a passing % from the respective 1/3's of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dudevillaisnice Posted January 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2016 OptaJoe @OptaJoe 3 - Aston Villa have gone three Premier League games without defeat for the first time since December 2014. Celebration. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 interestingly our pass accuracy is better than southampton. Imagine if we had a better defence and a goal scorer? Remi is doing a great job turning this around Remi has had us decent in the middle of the park since day one to be fair and now he appears to have corrected the issues at the back without losing that along with the fitness problems, concentration levels, confidence... Now all he has to do is get us scoring goals and we could make this interesting. Without spending any money that is... [emoji15] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 We deserved to beat Palace, you could argue we deserved to beat Leicester (but cannot overlook how easily we could have lost) and should have had at least one penalty (theirs was a dodgy award too, not that it mattered ultimately). The Wycombe performance was pretty average but we did enough in the end and we should have won on the weekend, it was a blatant penalty (not that you can guarantee us having scored it). If we continue in a similar vein for the rest of the season then I'd say he's earned another crack at it next year, if he wanted to remain of course. My only worry is that if you look at the teams that have come up in recent years they've tended to have a core of British players who know the divisions well, does Remi (or anyone at the club) have that degree of knowledge about the lower leagues and the players down there? I hope so but fear not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember commenting to my mate about how obvious the shape was in our midfield in that Man City game. I think all he did was define their roles, which the previous two managers seemed to fail to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet you wouldn't have imagined that at the start fo last season! makes sense as we are too slow with the ball we allow teams to get back into shape as they know we have no speed or movement to break them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 We are pretty much mid-table in every stat except for a few where we're quite high (dribbles per game, aerial duels, interceptions etc). But the one stat where we're rock bottom is goals and shots on target (we're also second least offside after Watford which is funny for a couple of reasons). I think it just highlights how much we need to score goals (and more to the point, a goalscorer). We seem to be a comfortable mid-table team in all other aspects, but this one thing (along with individual defensive errors) has dragged us down to the bottom, 10 points adrift. With a goalscorer we might actually stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least when you watch Arsenal walk it into the net, there are forward balls into the box, come back out, play it again into Giroud, a Ramsey comes around the outside etc. We get to an invisible wall about 30 yards out and then go left and right across the pitch for 30 passes until someone gives it away. Kozak often doesn't even touch the ball and there are zero runners from midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 What worries me is that the way this club is bieng run ( especially now ) Remi might get frustrated from continually trying to fight with one hand tied behind his back and quit.Then we are in trouble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
