In the second half, it was Chester and Hause, we looked more than solid at the back I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there you go we are all different I thought the first half was way way better ( after the first few minutes which were awful lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Just got back from the game. My thoughts below before I’ve read other people’s opinion, which’ll Do straight afterwards to see how I differ from others. Need a new GK without doubt. We are going to have to be really careful playing out from the back, we seem to get ourselves into trouble and we aren’t Barca. Targett I think will be good i think Chester looks good and should start with Mings Conor looked good, Thor wasn’t. Jack was just Jack, going to be pivotal this season, great talent. Davis is never going to be PL quality. Can hold the ball up ok but as a striker just doesn’t look good enough. Wes I’m excited about, still only glimpses but something to be optimistic about. Not convinced still by Green Overall still stands out we need a quality GK, DM, Winger and Striker. Looks like we’ll be signing two of them in the next few days, hopefully we are looking for the other two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was Engels?, is he carrying an injury or is he miles behind in training or something? Where was kalinic? Kalinin was there in the warm up.

I wouldn’t expect Chester to play much at all, and I’d not pick any of our other defenders ahead of Mings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I thought totally different....before preseason started I thought Chester was done playing for Villa but so far after 2 games Chester, for me, is our 2nd CB behind Ming’s and looked solid. The others are the future but so far Ming’s and Chester would start against Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know, it was just my opinion. It’s also why I’ve never been offered the Villa job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Only saw the last 20mins of the game, so can't comment on the game as a whole. Was happy to see Hogan getting a goal, he needs a bit of confidence badly. Great assist from big Wes too. Hope by the next game we have Douglas and Trez in the team to get some mins. Most are saying it, but I think a new keeper is essential. A poor keeper at this level is the difference between staying up and going down.

Ming's was guilty of over playing it for me, if he does that in the premier League we will get punished and conceding cheap goals from avoidable situations destroys team spirit , he needs to cut it out . It's early days yet and maybe it's a bit premature but the warning signs are there for me. Chester was solid and read the game well and didn't over complicate things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mig4villa Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I know we're only in the early pre-season stage and mainly focussed on building fitness and team spirit and avoiding injury, but i honestly think Courtney Hause has looked to be our sharpest and best central defender over the course of these two friendlies, closely followed by Chester and then Konsa. Tyrone Mings has looked really sloppy and overconfident to me so far... I really hope he's back to the high standards of last season soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Shrewsbury gave us a good game. It was a bit of a dull affair, but I didn’t go away too worried. We will up our game for the season. I think we will take time to gel mind, and I’m not convinced we have a goal scorer yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
