You could put Haaland in our team and we wouldn’t score many more goals. We don’t create chances! Against Chelse we had: More Shots More Shots on Target More Corners More Big Chances Created I think Haaland would have certainly made a difference.

What about all the other games where our XG has been less than one. Chelsea was the exception unfortunately. When we bought Ings last summer we were in much greater need at left back, centre back, centre mid and wide left. We were a side that played one up top who probably had the worst midfield in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Doesn't look like the player he used to be. Hopefully that's just down to Gerrard being a useless manager/ coach. I'm not convinced by any stretch that he isn't past it though. Very possible we got extremely unlucky and bought a player that has had his last good season, before he would be expected to. Also very possible he'll look better played in a system to suit his abilities. Be interesting to see which Ings we get in a few weeks time.

rodders0223 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Another player slower than a week in jail. Good touch, hard worker, good intentions, I think if we play better he scores goals but yes he's one I'd look to move on next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ings has never really been that great except for like one season with Southampton where he was truly exceptional. Even his last year with Southampton wasn’t that good according to Southampton fans themselves. It’s possible we just purchased a player who had one exceptional purple patch and has been getting further and further away from his peak ever since. This is the risk you take when you purchase an older player who was once great but hasn’t been in good form. There’s a good chance they’re already on the decline and will never get back to how great they once were and then we’re stuck with a player on large wages. Coutinho and Digne are like that too.

Lord Willard Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 He was bright against Chelsea. Getting dropped every two seconds is tough for strikers to get some form 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I defended him last year; I've been disappointed in what little of him we've seen this year. But like many other players, I'm reserving judgment until we see how they play in whatever new system we have. We can't do anything until January anyway, so I see no point in writing anybody off.

WHY Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 To think we wasted the Grealish money on him, Bailey and Buendia. Not one of them could be called a success. Gerrard will take the flack but these 3 signings are as much to blame for our current predicament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I still think he's a decent and talented player, he tries the right things and usually works himself into a sweat. But he looks burnt out, like the league's oldest 30-year-old. I get secondary cramps and lactic acid build up just watching him from a distance.

MaVilla Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 am i correct in thinking that his contract runs out at the end of next season? I thought it was a 3 year contract with a 1 year option? (i highly doubt we would take the 1 year option...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Unfortunately, this is one contract we are going to be saddled with for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to cut him some slack - we've all aged ten years in the last two months. If SG was still here, Matty Cash would've had a head like a cue ball by Christmas.
