Where he also can't press or move as much... Theres an argument that we should play 2 up top but shifting Ollie wide for Davis isn't worth it Players can get loads of goals from wide positions, he could potentially benefit from having a big man playing centrally occupying their central defenders.

Start relaxing and you can end up taking that into next season and start off with a hiccup or few, let's bring some heat to the game. Not the team, us!

Barkley at least offers something through there and people are unhappy he is starting. Then, we need to move away, from this predictability......hope we do in the summer.

Dave-R Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 You know Smith is catching a slaggin off if we lose tonight when he's screwed the team selection up and has put the game against us before we've even started lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The team selection is poor from Smith. We won’t lose because of it, as we’d have probably lost if we’d played Davis and Ramsey anyway, but I find it incredibly frustrating and he deserves criticism for it (in my opinion). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is however, an argument to play our striker out on the wing, where he has played before, and play Davis for the good of the team. Especially as our wingers are shite. Watkins will be our centre forward next season, we all know that, nobody is disputing it, but right now we need to change something to actually be competitive and try and win a game. Novel idea, I know. To be fair trying to win a game by playing your best striker out of position is fairly novel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to avoid being negative. I'm sick of the sight of Barkley blocking the development of Villa players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Think we'll lose but if I'm being positive the Everton centre backs and goalkeeper could be a weak point for them. Both Keane and Mina are on the bench and I've never rated Pickford (watch him have a stormer now!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a group huddle with Terry, Shakespeare and Deano himself and are fully ITK on form and preference. That's before we've even mentioned that the games that our youngsters have been doing well in have been against 18 year olds... So you don’t mind that we have one of the worst records of mins played to u21in the league ? So playing Bellingham has hurt Dortmund? So playing a 19 yo wanted by Leipzig and others in JPB is such a risk? What message does it send out to the youngsters long term if they continually ignored ? With extra subs and no fans and with nothing really to play for then I see it as a major black mark against Smith if they see no mins between now and the end of the season. Not necessarily starting but being blooded. Give them a taste and see how hungry they are and how they push on ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
