This is all a consequence of Smith not wanting to change shape, which he arguably should have done after losing his best player with no equivalent back-up. Presumably the injury didn't happen yesterday, so he's had time to develop a Plan B. I know this will be unpopular but I need to say it, I'm starting to feel very disillusioned with the fact that we are set up to play the same the same way week after week, even after losing our best players and one of the season's star defenders to injury. You can't just "square peg, round hole" it against a top 4 team, you need a decent bloody plan. He could have played Trez and played a 3 man centre mid without changing it too much. Leicester are lethal when they turn over possession. With no tracking back from AEG, Ross and Bert it will be a disaster. I predict we will be at least 2 down by half time the way we are set up. Easy three points for Leicester. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2021 I don't think we need Ross to be about his creativity or his long range shooting today, I think we need him to be about his workrate and his ability to protect the ball. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no note of an injury to my knowledge but when we're down to bare bones there's still no sight of him. Smith said Engels is returning from injury(s). Getting up to speed as such. We all know how long it can take a Engels to get up to speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stratvillan Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 Some of the responses here are pathetic. We're Aston villa FC, not Jack Grealish FC. Every team in the league would be weakened without Grealish. The lack of faith in Emi, Konsa, Mings, Luiz, Watkins, is bizarre. What are some of you going to do when Jack leaves, take up fishing? We may lose today, we've also lost with Jack in the team. If we lose it doesnt mean we are a 1 man team, barkeley is crap, or Smith has his favourites. It'll mean that Leicester City were better than Aston Villa. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Ok don't get me wrong I'm very worried with no Grealish but some of the comments regarding Barkley are absolutely mental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I know El Ghazi was like a duck out of water on the right the last time and rightly got pulled at half time. His work rate was appalling though in that match. He has no excuses now in his favoured position. If Davis had a goal in him, id of started Wakins on the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 We’ve been stale going forward for a while now anyway. Lets see if Anwar has the minerals today.

Newry_Villan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 So straight swap, El Ghazi for Grealish then?? We need the likes of Barkley to step up here. We need a big performance from our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 4-4-2 and no Grealish. We'll get so r**ed in midfield This won't be an enjoyable game. Might get real ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
