Robtaylor200 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 As I was saying before being rudely interrupted by Chester scoring What the hell has happened to our attack minded team. Two games without a shot at goal. Tammy getting zero service. Seems as if something has gone on that we are not party too. Massive pay cut ? or complete change of tactics that were working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Please tell me what Bjarnason brings to the team? He never really wants the ball, is always just a little late to close a player down or make a tackle, and I never see him sprint anywhere. Total liability. As for Bolasie, he should not come out for the second half. Offered nothing in attack and doesn't work hard enough in defense. Add Green and Davies and go 4-4-2. Bolasie and Bjarnason should not come out for the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Bring on Hause in a one man defence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Wasn't it a drop ball though? Think that would have pissed us off if it was Hull playing it like Conor did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 We must score the next goal if there's to be one. It could define our whole season. Come on me babbys. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 We weren't great at the back when we were playing defensive football under Bruce. I'm not surprised we are worse trying to play a lot attacking style. We need about 6 new first teamers at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just now, PompeyVillan said: I think my expectations are adjusting to become more realistic. Our recruitment has been horrendous, for years, we've signed players that did well somewhere else but from teams that were all too willing to sell their players to us. It's been a poor performance, but where do you see the spark coming from? Bring Green, Davies and Hause in for the second half. This season is a write off due to hopeless seasoned professionals. Let's invest in the future. Oh let's also take a lead from horse racing where they euthanise hopeless runners and put Bjarnason out of his misery. It would probably make quite an entertaining half time spectacle. (I joke of course). We could play the half time pass game with the squad, yet instead of a year supply of Pukka Pies they win the right to not have their contract terminated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come out in the second half: Steer; McGinn, McGinn, Chester, McGinn; McGinn, McGinn, McGinn; McGinn, McGinn; Abraham. Chester would never work in that formation, put McGinn in that spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a half season ticket in the basket at one point, that was a bullet dodged for sure. We ignored he's defensive record as a coach, we made a terrible mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s Hourihane supposed to do, smash it back to Kalinic for an almost certain own goal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 If Taylor is going to do throw ins, we may as well hand the ball to a Hull player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hopefully the managment is not trying to relax and calm the players down at half time, perfect way to end the half and we need to come out second half more upset, angrier and all guns blazing.

villabromsgrove Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I've just read pages of vitriolic abuse of all things Villa which reminds me why I usually don't join in on the match thread. We've discussed previously that Taylor and Hutton are costing us two goals a game on average, and that continues. Having to score three goals to get something out of games is a huge ask! With two good full backs we could be leading this match 1-0. I bet Purslow and Suso are working their arses off to bring in the full backs we desperately need. We know what needs to happen .... so does Smith and Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
