CalVilla88 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) Emi's off the ball movement is almost as impressive as his passing. I just love his football intelligence. I think with better passers like Kamara and Carlos, this will become more apparent. https://twitter.com/NorCalVilla1/status/1536185605763129344?t=g2xm8DmFYmr1a_XeACSfOQ&s=19 Edited June 13, 2022 by CalVilla88 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll shoot from 50 yards out with 6 men between me and the goal. The second clip is sheer poetry though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho brings us external promotion that probably means he was just about worth buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird he seems to pop up from out of nowhere to mention Villa beside having no links to Villa whatsoever....can't quite figure it out! He was such a nothing player too a striker who couldn't score goals! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First season was settling in to what was a fairly unsettled team, with the manager change, new signings and numerous system changes, plus injuries. I feel he will really kick on this season and we’ll see what we broke our transfer record for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 My biggest fear with Emi is that Gerrard would always rather start Coutinho over him and that he can’t find a place for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the 5 sub era now. Hard to underestimate the impact of this change. Like other sports it will become a central part of teams tactics. Whatever way we line up at the start, the game is now a squad game. Players and fans will need to used to seeing some of the more creative players held back until the opposition is tired. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom13 Posted June 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2022 I personally can't see the five subs thing having that big of an impact. Regardless, we shouldn't even be talking about Buendia having to come on, he should be the first name on the teamsheet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
