Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’ve been very underwhelmed in all honesty. I really thought he’d be better than he has been, but that’s not to say he won’t be a hit given more game time. Still early days but you can’t exactly say he’s had a great start to his Villa career. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to wait for his chance which will certainly come soon. And unlike his previous games he needs to step up. He hasn't been good enough so far. You miss the Brentford game? He was a slip away from an assist in the United game as well. He looked fine to me. Just couldn't get on the ball today because our CBs kept hoofing it OB.

He's had his moments, but he's been poor in other games and like I said, made the decision to miss the Chelsea game, which has led to his appearances from the bench. No one else to blame for his lack of game time at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need them, we lose some we win some, which is what happens with a midtable squad, some seem to be more than happy with how we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The new Juan Pablo Angel. He will come good for sure. He has got to get used to not being the main man . Exact same thing happening 91 miles up the road with Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we won't get the best out of Ings and Watkins without players like Buendia and Bailey. Having Traore, Sanson and Anwar and some of the kids available will also make a difference. We have done ok, but I don't think we have played our best line up yet, not even close. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't get the best out of Watkins and Ings in a 2 and we won't get the best out of buendia centrally. It really has got to be 4-3-3 for me and no cam. Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey, Buendia, Watkins, El Ghazi(Bailey when fit) Edited October 3, 2021 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins Ings Bailey McGinn Luiz Buendia Targett Mings Konsa Cash Martinez that is exactly the first 11 i would play, the only debate for me would be McGinn vs Ramsey vs Sanson, but right now McGinn would prob deserve it.

MentalM Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I personally wouldnt mind seeing a 4-4-1-1 Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett Buendia - Luiz - McGinn - Bailey Ings Watkins Both Luiz and McGinn holding more, and we could change into a 4-2-3-1 by pushing Buendia and Bailey further up if the match suits it.

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I was hoping he’d hit the ground running and be a key player from the off but it looks like it will take longer. He’s obviously a very talented player but it’s quite a step up for him based on the quality he is used to playing against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s obviously a very talented player but it’s quite a step up for him based on the quality he is used to playing against. he had a few brief moments in pre season when he threaded balls through to Watkins where he looked exactly that, then he was injured missing the rest of our preseason, although numerous games were cancelled anyway, so he never got to train much with the team before the whole call up b*llocks further screwed his integration. Not making excuses, as he needs to get up to speed quickly, but even when he comes on I have no clue where he is actually meant to be playing.
