VillanousOne Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 every pass today there was two men on the player receiving the ball, they made us look like we had 9 men not eleven. we don't keep moving, harassing and tackling, we are like statues in the middle of the park and alway slow and outnumbered. the system he plays is utterly useless with these players, each week we lose more and more confidence which is a sign the manager has utterly lost the dressing room. what the f*ck does national treasure and all round hero Terry do? What does any of the coaching staff do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hard to have patience and faith when it isn't clear, in the slightest, what the strategy is; And it was clear what we were trying to do first few games. I've got a horrible feeling he's completely lost his bottle we look as aimless and disjointed as any game under Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa, Barbet, Canos, Mokotjo, Sawyers and Watkins for sure - probably Odubajo too and there isn't too much in Maupay (league top scorer, looked lively throughout) and Abraham. I have no idea why you'd have more of that Villa side in a mixed eleven. fully agree, this squad has been ridiculously hyped up on here but is very little quality in it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan and McGinn get off but the rest of midfielders should be ashamed Midfield is the biggest problem IMO. It's utter garbage. McGinn was poor tonight so it looked worse than usual - but, honestly, we need to sack off Whelan and Hourihane completely. They're just terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Disgraceful last two performances. We could have had four points from them and it wouldn't change that fact. Stinking, Bruceball nonsense. Where have the short goal kicks gone? It's like watching the last regime again. I'll say again I like everything he does, usually calls it right, but on the pitch stuff it's been sliding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay for. But he cleaned the stands at Villa park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I'd take a fair chunk of the Brentford side here next season, so Smith has that in his favour as I'm sure it's the way we will be going in terms of recruitment.

Dave-R Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Felt like defence was alright tonight, it's the midfield, not only did we get wrecked on possession in midfield, but we clearly couldn't couldn't reach Tammy as much as we should of done. Don't like Whelan, everything was bouncing off of him or can't make a pass that connects to a player. Didn't see much of Mcginn which is a shame, seemed to have him marked out the game. Hourihane went missing alot did have some time on ball could of been better. I'd also like to say that brentford have been at that game for along time now that they worked us big and in the end we suffered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 He doesn't look strong enough. I'm starting to think the football we played when he came in was reactionary from the new players to something, anything new, rather than any great tactical nous.

Mark Albrighton Posted February 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2019 The squad isn’t as good as some claim but it’s a lot better than 2 wins in 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted February 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2019 Today's performance was utterly gutless: tactics, players, everything. It hurts my eyes and soul to watch Villa like this. Yeah, the beginning of the end for Smith has started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Smith thought we deserved to win, should have had a penalty and should have won. He's deluded as well as shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
