Both of them lost the ball on the edge of our area. But yeah it's luiz's which are unacceptable. Ramsey’s one almost cost us a goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Douglas Luiz 'doesn't want' to play current role at Aston Villa - claim Douglas Luiz has been used as a holding midfielder since the injury to Marvelous Nakamba which is a role Dean Jones believes the player doesn't want to operate within Douglas Luiz has been used in a defensive role in midfield since Marvelous Nakamba suffered an injury and it is a role that some believe the player doesn't wish to play in. Dean Jones is a transfer insider who provides news for GiveMeSport and whilst speaking to the platform he stated this regarding the current situation for the Brazilian: “Douglas Luiz doesn’t really want to play there. "He doesn’t want to be playing in the deepest role. "I think Gerrard understands that and he’s just been using him there while he had to.” Luiz's best games in an Aston Villa shirt this season have arrived when the player has been utilised in a 'number 8' role instead of the holding midfielder role he is currently playing. In the 3-0 win against Everton he helped break the deadlock with a sublime pass for Matty Cash to latch on to and also operated as the eight against Manchester City, where he recorded another assist, five key passes, two clearances and two interceptions. Steven Gerrard himself also sees Luiz playing further forward, which was outlined in the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace. Gerrard chose to substitute Luiz on in the 67th minute and instead of opting for a straight swap of the booked Nakamba, he swapped him for Jacob Ramsey who was operating further up the pitch. Just three games later, Nakamba suffered a severe knee injury against Liverpool and since this moment, Luiz has had to operate as a stop-gap defensive midfielder. Villa have little to no other options to turn to in this position, unless they wanted to trial Morgan Sanson in an unfamiliar role, take a chance on young Tim Iroegbunam or allow Calum Chambers to play there. It isn't ideal for Luiz, however it is currently necessary given the current situation in the squad. Villa opted against signing a defensive midfielder in January, with several players being linked throughout the month.

I think it depends what you expect from him, but he has come out and said he doesn't like playing there...... most players don't like playing, where they are not very good. He is like marmite....you get it, or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I'd much rather see him played as an 8 and we get in a top class 6. Dougie doesn't get JJ's place though for me, he will have to battle SJM for the other spot, JJ is our best 8 imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted March 5, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2022 I thought he did really well today, particularly in the first half - Southampton had a lot of the ball around our box and we did a good job of keeping our shape and closing down spaces until Doug could win it off them - he did that three or four times to break down their attacks and was doing a really strong job of protecting the back four - the thing that people say he can't do. I thought he was also excellent at taking the ball in tight spaces keeping it and getting it to someone in a Villa shirt - the thing that we do know he does well. Great to see him get back on the scoresheet after two years without, that'll give him a well earned boost. If you're doing the thing you do well, well and the thing that people say you don't do well, well and you're also scoring goals - I reckon you're probably enjoying it. More of this please. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
