Made In Aston Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 It's not really happening for Ollie this season. I'd like to see him as a lone striker for a game, from start to finish, to see whether it's the formation or the man that isn't right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Watkins is still playing catch up with everyone else after his pre-season injury and possibly off field distraction of becoming a father. It could be that Deano is trying to play him into some form, or crow bar both Ings and Watkins into the same team. Which I think most on here would agree is not a great formation for our team. I would like to see us revert to our favoured 433 next game and bench Watkins and let him work his way back into the team. I would like to see us go with Bailey/Ings/Buendia as the front three next game, maybe swap Traore instead of Buendia. With a midfield of McGinn/Luiz/Ramsey or Sanson behind them.

avfc1982am Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I think he's not comfortable in the 352. The formation which everyone is screwing about. I also think many people have short memories at just how good he is for us when used correctly. The way I see it is we play the system that brings the best out of what players we have. Change system and OW changes form from poor to much better. The formation does not suit just him but Ing's also. Neither are playing to their normal standards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie is getting all the pelters - but Ings goes long periods without even touching the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Surely has to be benched against West Ham, he’s been shit so far this season, and with Bailey and hopefully Troare back from injury id rather them 2 on the wing with Ings through the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main difference this season is his all round game bar Chelsea hasn't been very good at all. Not pressing that well (1st minute booking tonight probably did for him) and touch and anticipation been poor aswell. He's very lucky to be playing CF aswell. Would honestly be better balance if we moved him out wide. Didn't get all the world would end posts a few months ago when people were outraged if we moved him to the wing, he's lucky to be starting currently. This. Put on the wing. At the moment, he couldn’t hit the net with a map and three feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I actually thought he tried pretty hard against Arsenal but he’s just lost up there in this ridiculous formation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 On the grape vine, he's looking for a move to Tottenham. Not happy they brought Ing's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What right have he got when we bring in Ings ? So we should only keep Davis/Wesley to warm his seat , if he’s injured. If its true he should go Spurs , the moment a Player think of his own self interest instead of the team, he’s will drag us down. So evident in the last few games he’s players very selfishly / hoarding ball instead passing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, imagine the fee now for a premier league, England international striker signed for £30m just a season ago… can you see Levy paying it? Not convinced… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Anyone interested in listening to an old fashioned, Give it all, centre- forward ? There's an interview with Garry "Bruno" Thompson on the claret and blue podcast on YouTube. Now that's a centre- forward who gave his all in every game for the claret and blue cause.
