VillanousOne Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 he can't play centrally with Doug, our midfield disappears as soon those two start there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Said it the other night and will reiterate - right offer comes in I’d sell. If we’ve got to sell someone for pure profit to reinvest then out of Luiz, Ramsey & McGinn its McGinn every time for me. Selling a player at the right time is something we’ve been crap at for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben1505 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Just now, Indigo said: At least Spurs are stuttering as badly as we are right now. You'd think that of their remaining 3 games, the likelihood is that they come away with 6 points, so if Liverpool can see this out it's huge for Villa. Also they play 3 games in a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been captain in our best ever Premier league season. Yes he's had a dip in form, but so have lots of others. Yeah I just have so little respect for some of our fans tbh. Miserable polishers of rockets. He's been absolutely quality 85% of the season and is just knackered in our most intense position. Also playing way deeper than he'd want to be. Can't believe people are slagging him off. We'd be nowhere near fourth without McGinn. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Martinez should be captain he stands up when we need him to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey gets injured. He moves to the left. Bailey/Diabys form drops, he plays on the right. Luiz is suspended. He plays central. Kamara injuired? Play him centre mid. Tielemans injured. Ok, move him from right mid to centre mid. Absolutely class player and our beating heart. As good as any player might be, they’re only as good as their injury and availability. John has been almost immune from injury all season and played any position the manager has asked based on availability. Everyone on here bangs on about how good Torres, Kamara, Ramsey is. Great. Let’s see them play multiple positions for almost an entire campaign in nearly every match. Silence. McGinn = Class. Villa legend and one of several reasons we are where we are. 10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 He CAN play in a 2 with Dougie, he did it last season when Kamara was out and we were winning game after game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can, however, I think we were a lot more defensively sound last season, with very little injuries during the run in and we also had Ramsey in there who is a little more accustomed to playing in the 3 and supporting role. I think the problem is having Diaby, Bailey and Rodgers in there where none are great at the defensive side out of possession. Add that to the continual changes in defence and we are far more stretched this season. We've also played significantly more games so everyone is running on empty.

Yep he can and sometimes we have the players around him to pull it off, sometimes when we play with a three man midfield. But it is not his best position just like Doug isn't as effective playing a holding role. McGinn on multiple times let the ball over the top as he has no height to win headers. He has been quality when played wider and further forward though under Emery. Rogers has been awesome, but i don't think we have enough steel when he plays with Bailey and Diaby. It's not about blame, the balance is wrong and that is due to injury. Edited May 5 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is he close to being a Villa legend … Great player and servant - God is a legend and you’re putting fat arse in the same bracket - nah no way.

The only silence needed here is you avoiding the point I made. Playing in multiple positions means he is rarely playing in his own, best, position. If Pau Torres had to play left back, right back, defensive midfielder to cover other injuries would you be critical of his form too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
