Why they seem so concerned about such a non prolific striker i don't know. Yeah that's the thinking we need more of. Maybe this strategy is why forwards who are in the middle of a goal drought always seem to end it against us. Keeper: "Pick him up" CB: "Shane Long? You Serious? Why would I bother marking that useless... Oh shit!!" Edited December 8, 2020 by sparrow1988 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I was thinking about was that this might be a remnant of Smith coaching in the Championship and below, where wingers aren't as good as and are less likely to do something magical/skillful - so one play is to push inside and cover the box, thus making it harder for the winger to find his man. The quality in the prem is such that the extra space granted is dangerous to a player with the skill level to exploit it, so the tactic doesn't work as well. I dunno, just a theory.

I can think of 3 goals we have conceded down to Cash being too far inside and leaving the man free behind him, Ings at home, March for Brighton and West Ham’s 2nd, he keeps on doing it every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only way I can see us winning which is alot of counter attacking against a Wolves side who as you say will overload in attack on the wings and burn them selves out trying to attack us. We should hoofball for most of the match unless we can actually make a counter attack work, then in the second half just let RIP with whatever we have left. Forgot what article it was but it was about us and how were bucking a trend of not playing to what other teams are expecting of us to do which is to send everyone out and go retrieve the ball as often as possible. I think we could make Wolves work against themselves and if Smith is tactically astute then we could certainly come out with all three points. It doesnt help that were a man short, that we need Barkley big time for a game like this and I would not play Conor of Ghazi and hand Ramsey his first appearance against Wolves this year.

It's Your Round Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Still don’t know why Cash was booked. We will miss him against Burnley on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a man out off the ball. Surprised Mike Dean didn’t give him red. I’m messing with that last comment, but Mattie is the first player in the league to pick up five bookings. Needs to watch it.

Davkaus Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It was a definite yellow. You take that risk when you drag a player back with no attempt to play the ball. It makes the one not given against Watkins all the more frustrating, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I think this was his best game for Villa, him and Traore were a nightmare on the right side. For all Trez effort his link up play was never the best with Cash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
