Considering he's getting flak every time things are not working I think we could give him this one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defending from corners has been much improved the last couple of games too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Name-checked by Gerrard in his MOTD interview when talking about the first goal, he's clearly nowhere near being as ostracised as some had thought/hoped, he's still got an important role to play on the coaching staff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously. There are two types of corner - outswingers and inswingers, so literally all you can work on is cross location and positioning? Not sure what some people are expecting him to produce...some short corner tiki taka which leads to a 2 yard tap in 15 passes later?

Exactly, when a player hasn't been able to beat their first man, it's " nAnNy mCpHeE iS sHiTe, gEt rId ", yet when it goes right, he shouldn't get any credit...

Why was Targett unmarked and have that much space in the box? Nakamba pulls out, mings runs around Targett losing the contact with his marker in to a space created by nakamba then attacked the ball, as a result hs draws in his man and Targetts freeing Targett up... I would say that's designed but maybe you can say its not, it's designed to give mings a free run at the ball but at least look at the positioning of us as that corner comes in, we have a pocket of 3 players at the front of thr box and a pocket of 3 at the edge, that is planned, that's designed shape, we aren't just chucking it in the mixer Edited November 28, 2021 by villa4europe 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ingram85 Posted November 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2021 All of those annoying **** posts saying “has he gone yet” seem a bit stupid now. Blame him when it’s going wrong but suddenly stfu when we are winning. He was a scapegoat pure and simple and didn’t deserve half the crap he got sent his way from some on here. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 He appears to be quite an outgoing character and perhaps standing alongside Dean that was more obvious. His new boss isn’t really a shrinking violet and so Austin’s roll is, visibly at least, less prominent. I think that works better for the team and him. Clear job definition lines re-established. It’s now very clear to everyone who the boss is, as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so typical. No one was hoping he was being ostracised, people were just rightfully questioning why our set pieces were poor. Why does there always have to be a for or against, love or hate theme running though our threads? We were poor offensively and defensively for many matches so people questioned him which is absolutely right and proper. I would hope the club are similarly analysing his performance in a more scientific way. Yes, he's done great these last 2 games so hopefully what went before was a blip. One of the players (Young?) actually went over to him after our goal last night and gave him a high 5. Well done Austin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to go back about three/four pages to see there were plenty of posts hoping he would get the boot or be sidelined by Gerrard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 when our main game plan for 3 or 4 games seemed to consist of play for throw ins and get cash to launch the ball regardless of where on the pitch the throw in is, it was completely right to question him and his influence. We can only go off what we see on the pitch and draw our own conclusions from it, we can also be proven wrong as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
