Djemba_Villan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Agree with the consensus here. not calling for the manager - to be clear but this is with him now. We don’t seem to have the tools to play his system. we play very 1D football. Very reliant on wing play and deep crosses which has been sussed out now. BB and CH offering nothing again. Without Jack we are a mid table team at best. Disgraceful considering the money spent. F****** annoying club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Worst first half I’ve seen since Smith took over. Nobody wants the ball. i can’t believe how much we miss Grealish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 everyone now nullifies us by marking the wide players knowing we have nothing creative in the middle of the park without Grealish, we are fecking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2019 Awful first half. I wish we'd try and do a bit more other than go out wide. It's all very reminiscent of Bruce. We no longer seem to press, we look knackered, no creativity, can't hold the ball. Smith's past 4 or so games have been incredibly underwhelming after such a good start.

NoelVilla Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 That was shit. Rather see one of our youngsters play than Taylor from now on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 terrible, really really bad. ponderous on the ball, all over the place without it. Grealish’s influence been more than obvious since his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Not a good start is it, sort it out players. I'm not watching, but who is to blame here, which player I wonder?? how is the Hause playing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted January 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2019 Chester, Taylor and Bree were all accident waiting to happen, midfield were being completely dominated. I missed the Tammy sitter, but he is being completely isolated. Worse thing of all, we just simply cannot pass a **** football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Just now, OutByEaster? said: I think Bolassie has been alright - it's the midfield we're losing. I'd consider bringing on Whelan and Hause for Taylor and Bree and going three at the back. We've got nothing in the middle of the park - Hourihane and Bjarnason aren't doing anything like enough. like every match then pretty much?

Farlz Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Like I've said before, it's a serious concern how much of a nothing side we are without Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's our midfield that's the problem, for me. Nowhere near enough energy or drive, which is expected from Hourihane but disappointing to see from Mcginn and Bjarnasson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the team has so many deficiencies then the good players tend to carry the team, without them the problems become very exposed. We shouldn’t be in this position, but we are and it’s goimg to take time and patience to fix it, which seems to be in short supply in here. disagree mate, two payers is a slight blip... the system should be good enough to cover two injuries from what we have seen from the team. Under Bruce, 2 injuries was a disaster as we needed one off pieces of brilliance to get us a result. Not much has changed if this is the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gotta be coming out and claiming the cross though for the second save. It was in the air for an age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Refuse to judge Smith in any way until he can sign his own players. Bruce assembled this shit. Which quite frankly is **** unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hause is on the bench, cus who needs a CD over 4ft who is fast and has some strength right?, we prefer to play the game on difficulty set to 11, just for fun.
