OutByEaster? Posted November 10, 2019 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2019 Jota, Davis, Grealish, Targett, Engels, Heaton, Steer. If we're missing all of those for Newcastle we're in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 looks like lot's of things going against us, down three of our best players before the game, back up goalie off injured after 7 minutes, and then defender subbed off before the half is out. We are not playing well either, but sometimes it's just not going to be your day. But at 1-0 down, you're never out of the game, so come on villa, let's see what we can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2019 We need to fundamentally change how we're trying to play here. We're simply not holding on to the ball at all, and it's just inviting Wolves on constantly. Obviously we want to play down the wings and so do Wolves, but we're just punting the ball forward, leaving either Trez or el Ghazi to chase hopeless causes and end up with gaps behind them. We're barely giving anything to Wesley and even when we do get the ball anywhere near him he's isolated. We need Luiz and McGinn dropping back further and carrying the ball forward, and giving the wings a chance to get into the game and get around Wesley. We've failed to do this all season so we won't but still, the problems obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 10, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2019 Really dreadful first half performance from the Villa. Back to the bad old days and totally outclassed by a very good Wolves side that look streets ahead in how to play football. Target's substitution a godsend for him as he had an absolute mare but then you couldn't pick a decent player out if that Villa 11 with any amount of sweat on the shirt apart from Marvelous. On that first half performance Villa look definite relegation candidates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Wesley is a donkey. Incapable of holding the ball up. Doesn’t challenge for the ball in the air 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Dreadful performance from villa. Terrible in possession. Look awkward, one paced and clumsy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2019 Why are they talking about us at half time? Let's get back to Citeh Liverpool. I don't want to bloody hear about us now! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimevalVillan Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 This team drives me nuts. When we actually pass the ball, we look good. We may have had 3 good possessions all half. Not a good goal to concede but Wolves have been better, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Worse half so far this season, doesn’t help with the 2 players we’ve had to bring on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Players running around like headless chickens, lucky we are only losing by 1. If it’s more of the same this half 4 or 5 for them is a distinct possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thankfully we're only one down, with a bit of the quality so many of these players have shown in previous matches, we can take something here. If what we saw just then continues, this one could be embarrassing and raises some questions across the whole team, Smith most so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376013/Live/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Wolverhampton-Wanderers-Aston-Villa If anyone's interested. My personal rule of thumb is players that have a 6.5 or more at half time are on course to having a good game whilst players that have a 6.2 or less at half time are having a mediocre or worse game. So far, that's only Nakamba and Guilbert who's breached the 6.5 mark, while El Ghazi, Luiz, Mings and Konsa are below 6.2. Targett actually had a 5.7 which is really low and reflected how badly he was matching up against Traore. In comparson, only Jota and Jonny have a rating below 6.5 for Wolves Edited November 10, 2019 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Once again, I'm absolutely baffled by some of the comments on here... You'd think we have a fully fit, well rounded , title-challenging squad and Smith is just getting out-witted by Nuno... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Both fullbacks played shit. Unnecessary free kick by Mings. Only one sub left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
