Fine margins. I think aside from scoring they both played well. Klopp had said how our split strikers caused them so many problems. So tactically very good from Gerrard and individually from Ings and Watkins they did well, just needed that killer moment Agree with that Think it's maybe hard to forget that VVD is the leagues best CB and Matip isn't a bum Tough night for us but it was a tough game for them too, VVD in particular I thought was very good but we never stopped asking questions We come away bemoaning missed chances but at the same time those chances were caused by good movement from both strikers, both of them worked their bollocks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Ings is quality, unlucky with his touches yesterday. I still feel confident with him up front. Unlucky because he scored a harder goal despite the offside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Like how he gets in behind with clever movement haven’t seen that from a striker at Villa for ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Frustrating when he doesn't take his chances as that is why he is in the team. At least he is getting into the right places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I know he’s always been known as a goalscorer but his all round footballing ability is really good, great engine on him too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ings should have shot straight away but hesitated on both occasions. Hes good enough to shoot ASAP. I know Ollie works hard just hope he can improve next season.

messi11 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 He's a class player. Him and Suarez up front next season gonna be something else 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suarez should be playing up front on South America if he wishes to continue his career. He's too old and immobile (as well as massively overstepping the line on acceptable behaviour on the pitch. The Evra incident should have seen his contract cancelled and the making of a pariah). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 His movement paired with Buendia's creativity seems like a perfect combination. Shame we haven't been able to see more of it given the form they've both been in of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Any other game and he could have had hat trick but some of attempts people are saying he should have put away were heavy passes not all his fault, I hope he is here next season I think he’s class and with the right number 10 is the most likely striker at the club to get goals in the high teens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ings xG was 0.29 for the game. So not scoring was more likely than scoring from the chances he had. I think the issue was more the first touch from him and the one from Watkins, if they were better they would have had higher xG for their chances and a better chance of scoring. It's fine margins.

You don't get xG if you don't shoot. The one/s where he ran it and didn't shoot wouldn't have counted, I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the hell has that ings been all season?? At 29 for me his best days are coming to an end it looks if his finiahing is anythibg to go by. If tammy becomes avaialble i would sell him and use some of the money to try bring tammy back. One of the things you dont lose is your finishing when you get older As for Tammy should be bans every time he gets mentioned as a transfer target The Villa he left has zero connection to the Villa of now and is playing at a higher level for a coach and fanbase that loves him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the previous 3 season he's outscored his xG while Tammy scores less than his xG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
