Popular Post LakotaDakota Posted November 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2018 Interview after the game is like it's a completely different game than Bruce (or to be fair any other manager we have ever had) comments. 2nd phases, showing videos to grealish at half time to point out times he had come too deep, telling wide players to stay wider as they were interfering with grealish & mcginn, Tactics to tuanzebe as he noticed something bolton had changed 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted Bolton are crap and we still have some flaws Previous managers we would have probably thrown that away Were you at the game? I was. And "enjoyable" is not a word I would use. Perhaps it will be different if I see the game on TV, but it was not dissimilar to last year, to keep at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Very interesting interview. Analysis during half time, showing players video clips. He felt that we could have played better. He also mentioned that our wingers were getting inside too much and eating up space for Grealish in the centre. Based from that post match interview i believe that we will be signing a new keeper or at least attempting to. Our style has changed drastically in 4 matches. He is a breathe of fresh air and I feel excited for the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Very honest assessment and fair play to him. I agree with him. We were pretty average tonight. We've played better and lost. What i like is that the week ahead will be Derby specific and not generic out doing the same old coaching drills. If we won under Bruce without playing well he would 100% play the same line up a week later. Guaranteed. Rendering training pointless really. You'll see changes next Saturday. There has to be to nullify the threat of mount, Lawrence and Wilson and at every opportunity make Keogh play football because he isn't comfortable on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Can see what DS is trying to do, and i like it, we just dont have all the players to do it right now (ie: we prob have 50% of the players). onwards and upwards, Jan will be an interesting month.

Johnnyp Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Btw i really like how he sees and calls a game. Grealish coming too deep. Why ? Hourihane not good enough, brave enough or moves well enough to play more forward balls. We need jack in the spaces that eriksen takes up at spurs. For him to stay in those positions we need a better quality of a deep lying playmaker than we have currently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I really did not want Smith to get the job. I thought it was a huge risk appointing him. I have however been positively surprised so far. Keep it up Dean. On the right track 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAVFC Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Isn't it just great to hear a manager demanding improvement despite the win. Not the usual back slapping and we'll dust worself down all the time. Refreshing to listen to although there are tougher tests to come and we'll need to improve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted November 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2018 I absolutely bloody loved the moment in the second half when Tuanzebe, Chester and Nyland were playing triangles on the edge of our box with the Bolton players closing us down. Had fans shouting to just lump it but we didn't, kept calm and found the space which resulted in us going forward for an attack. It's so much better to see than us just lumping it long only for it come straight back within 30 seconds. Pleased with the performance tonight, I'm enjoying watching Villa again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I loved it. I see the team changing for the better and I find our way of playing a delight to watch. I wanted a modern manager who will change us from being an old school club to a new one. I assumed that would have to be a foreign coach, but I was wrong, Smith is it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I thought the most interesting point he made in his after match interview was when he said he looks to have three and a half goals in his line-up, as that would usually be enough to win games. He said he had three in Abraham, Kodjia and Adomah and was just looking the half. I guess that explains the link with Barry Bannan then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
