BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 On 19/08/2022 at 15:00, BleedClaretAndBlue said: My issue is that it Buendia does start, and cant get into the game for whatever reason, I bet he’ll come straight back out the next week and wont get a run like Coutinho gets regardless of form. This prediction was made before Palace. Gerrard suffers from Nepotism. He needs a run of playing week in week out. Statistically proven to be our most creative player. Its painful and boring to watch us under Gerrard but he doesnt even like to give us a chance by blocking our most talented player. We need some enjoyment/excitement Steven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho is very inconsistent but he’s far better than Buendia. Is that you, Slippy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Does make me laugh how the media team are all over him but he can’t get a look in on the playing side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posession retention is awful, can't shoot for S**t. He is just not the player we hoped for. The limping off was fake. He had enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 His strength make him before Coutinho, Bailey is a different player and a special talent which we need him starting. He’s the kind of player that if he had any kind of space the opponent defenders will be threaten and panicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Really feel for him. The world cup is not too far away. He really needs to be performing and playing regularly to make it. Literally playing 1 every 4 games is just not going to cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way that Coutinho wont start is if he has his leg in plaster.Even then there is a 50/50 chance that SG will start him,plaster and all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Put Coutinho on against the poorer sides and he plays at best average every week til the clamour for Buendia gets too hard to ignore based on his cameos. Wait for a game against a big side, set up poorly and play Buendia instead. He can't get involved. Drop him instantly for the next run of games against the poorer teams. The Gerrard blueprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you can almost tell he will chuck Buendia in against Arsenal and Man City, Villa will get battered, and he'll use that as a reason in his head for why Buendia doesn't deserve to start against teams Villa are actually a chance of beating. Coutinho will come back in for the good run of fixtures after that (Leicester, Southampton, Leeds, Forest). Buendia producing more off the bench in less minutes will lead to another clamour for him to start, so he'll get chucked in for the Chelsea match. Villa will get pumped, so Coutinho will be straight back in for Fulham and Brentford. You can just see it.

PussEKatt Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I have just figured out why Buendia does not start many games. To be a regular starter he MUST look SG in the eye ( like Mings did ) even if he has to stand on a stool to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I hate to say it but he is a super sub. He’s always rubbish when he starts. It’s probably the only thing that Gerrard is getting right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably the only thing that Gerrard is getting right. The issue I have with this is that he is never given enough of a run to build and sustain confidence/momentum - it was not difficult to predict a difficult night for him. it feels like that unless he is motm and scores a worldy each game, then he is benched this is unfair and unrealistic imo. He needs to be told his shirt is safe for 7-10 games minimum and then he can be appraised more realistically 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 He was poor today, and I'm his biggest fan, frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
