romavillan Posted January 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2019 1 minute ago, OutByEaster? said: For me, the two wingers have been our only threat - we're so weak in the middle though that we might have to consider a complete change in order to strengthen it. Davis and Whelan on for El Ghazi and Bolassie and go 4-1-3-2? If it was bringing on a better player than Whelan then I'd be all for it. I've been trying to think what Smith can do to help in the middle, but there's only Whelan there. I'd swap O'Hare for BB and play 4-4-1-1....

I'm not watching, but who is to blame here, which player I wonder?? how is the Hause playing?? I wouldn’t try to understand who’s struggling based on VT mate. Lots of clueless comments on here. It’s halftime, we’re down by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for his ability to hold up the ball. To bring Abraham into play. To pull attention away from our wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Exactly. That’s what happen when you signed players with no skill. With skill , you have confidence when opponents comes near, you are sure you can twist / accelerate/ fancy good work, get pass them , have composure. & open up angle for a thru run or forward pass . With skill you gain confidence / arrogant even ... Even those that do have some skill Bolasie / Kodjia / Adomah etc are too selfish & only shoot for goals instead of creating chances for team mates . Very shortsighted, thinking only goals will attract top teams to sign them or we will give them new contract based on no. goals they scored . In my opinion , in the modern game , I feel most modern managers do value Assists , just as much as goals . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 You can blame the players against Norwich, Leeds, but there's no excuse against WIgan?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 For the 4th game in a row we have been exploited down the wings yet Smith does nothing to address it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll see a much improved Villa in the second half. We need to get cracking in the window....james McCarthy is the type we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I just soft and we should get on his and the team’s back because that will almost certainly get us firing on all cylinders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
