villa4europe Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The run for the shot that was saved was incredible, just out ran the entire Leicester defence, shame it was saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He works hard and put the defence under pressure but his decision making at times is very poor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Looked like his old self today. Leads the line brilliantly when he’s at it. Has to play upfront on his own, he knows what is job is when he’s alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Very good again. Horrible to say but the Ings injury has been a bit of a blessing in disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m inclined to agree albeit I think Ings would have been benched anyway. I think we’re a better side with Watkins up top on his own flanked by either two 10’s or two wingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I've seen him play in a pair with Ings it just doesn't seem like he is having it at all. His body language is completely different in a 1 striker system.

Kiwivillan Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Only 74.2% pass completion. That's worse than Buendia. Classic case of people wanting him to be good because of transfer fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Dont blame him for not passing to CAsh tbh, Cash's final ball/shooting was abysmal all game. Plus he scored in a similar scenario couple of weeks back. Another very good performance from him, so vital to our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre a striker in that position you have to take the shot on. I was more annoyed he didn't score, he should have done better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the Bailey situation the other week. Better players make better decisions and pass in both scenarios. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’re a better side with Watkins up top on his own flanked by either two 10’s or two wingers. I agree. Ings just dosen't press that well compared to Ollie which is odd considering he looked o.k playing in Southampton's system although guess Che Adams did a good bulk of the workrate. Few weeks back thought only way it could work was Ollie going out wide but he's proved his point in recent times he's still best CF at club for what we need from whoever plays it. Ings will just have to get used to a few games on the bench and then get a start or two over xmas perhaps as Chelsea-Leeds is 48 hour turnaround but hard currently to see long term how he fits in here.

You can prove or disprove pretty much any theory with stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching it unfold from the Holte End Cash had a ridiculous amount of space. Ollie needs to play Cash in there, regardless of being a CF. Poor poor decision as he F***** it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing about it was the shot he actually had, saw someone say about the goal he scored and yep he bent that in to the far corner, tonight he seemed to try and cut it across his body and hit it low and hard to the near post That was never ever on, the replay they showed from behind the goal not only was the defender there to block it Schmeichel was all over it too, he read it and was ready for it He misses chances obviously but its not that often that you see Ollie out right make a bad decision with his finishing but that was definitely one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
