AVTuco Posted December 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hutton needs to stay back as he has done so far this season. Unfortunately when he sees nothing's happening up front, he tries to make it happen himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that he shouldn't be an automatic starter though, he is still too young/ raw to be expected to consistently lead our line. Can't be too harsh on Davis, there is literally nobody else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty much the main reason (along with Adomah's form) that we're even challenging for the playoff positions. I don't think he was even that bad. They just crowded him out.

Grealish and Hourihane desperately needed on the pitch. Got to agree. Hourihane is so busy when on the pitch. He lays the ball at the feet of Davis and it gets players moving as the defenders concentrate on Davis. Grealish would do the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is crowded with three defenders every time he has the ball. Milwall are crowding the centre. They know both of our wingers cut inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has had a good match as the lone striker. He definitely worked well with Kodjia. I am not trying to "hate" on davis, but we need better. The past 3-4 matches, Davis has made poor decisions, and his movement has been bad. We are in a promotion fight, and we need better. Since Grealish is back, I wouldn't be opposed to see Hogan for Davis, and Grealish for Onomah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted December 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 9, 2017 A performance so far that looks like we've thought we can just show up and win. Lansbury the only one with any urgency, Adomah the only one with any menace. Davis is too often coming out wide to support the build up but then there's nobody to aim it in the middle. The Spurs lad is playing as Josh Anonomahs again today. The second half needs to be much, much better. We're not getting ball forward quickly enough, and our forward line is too static. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hutton and Taylor need to overlap more. Lansbury needs subbing- he's far too slow when defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I am not jumping on Davis. Tactics wise, this isn't working. Davis is being double marked, and he can't even use his physical presence to lay off passes to players because Onomah is never in position to receive a pass. I think we need to get Grealish on the pitch and get him dribbling at defenders. No one is doing that. It's just pass, and not move. No surprise we can't break them down. Lansbury has also been a liability on defense. He probably should be switched with Onomah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Snodgrass is having a mare, I'd take him off and try to get some more width, the middle is super compacted when we're in possession and we can't play through it with the personnel we have on the pitch. They're counter attacking well to be fair to them, though we're not helping ourselves to prevent them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is way faster getting back than Whelan and he is the only one trying to play the ball wide and play between their defense and midfield Edited December 9, 2017 by Taxahunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 This performance highlights why Snodgrass is so disappointing. For this level we can see he has good ability but he does not distinguish himself anywhere near enough, often looking slow and taking far too many touches. Not good enough overall.

Vive_La_Villa Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Lansburys looked ok but I think we do have a better balance with Hourihane on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Lansbury is the least of our problems, he has been very sharp on the ball for the most part and is the only moving it quickly. Onomah and Snodgrass are the ones who are really failing to deliver out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
