romavillan Posted August 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2022 Kamara with Luiz and Sanson in front of him for me. Gerrard can't drop McGinn so maybe the best we are going to get is Kamara with Luiz and McGinn in front of him. I like Ramsey but he struggled in that shape against Bournemouth, got bogged down on the left too much to get touches on the ball, we had no middle which is where he wants to be... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 McGinn and Ramsey can't play together its that simple. Ironically its like Gerrard and Lampard all over again for England and one of them needs defensive discipline. Our captain like Gerrard in his playing days that defensive discipline was a weakness 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 We're sleepwalking into an absolute disaster unless we get this sorted in this transfer window. We absolutely have to sign a more defensive minded, press resistant central midfielder. McGinn and to an extent Ramsey, can not play this role. They both want to push forward. Why are the club so blind to this issue? The absolute first thing to do is play Luiz as a 6 alongside Kamara to try to sure us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best we have at the minute is Luiz, who can play that #6/8 hybrid role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2022 Whichever midfield 3 we decide to play, i'd like to see them played on the correct side for them. I'm sick of McGinn being on the right when he's left footed, and Ramsey being on the the left when he's right footed. With McGinn on the right, if Cash bombs forward when McGinn has the ball, he cant find him cos he has to turn back onto his left foot. It's infuriating and I don't understand why we do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I don’t think our problem in midfield is the players individually, it’s their inability to play together in a tactical system crafted by an inexperienced manager. Both Gerrard (and somewhat Smith too) like villa playing with high wing backs and simultaneously high midfielders. That’s great if they could all string passes together at speed, but they can’t and we lose possession, exposing our thin back line to easy counters. Frustrating to watch, more so when it’s can be fixed with Boubs and Doug holding back when villa attack.
