Nicho Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 After initially being quite excited by his appointment his drab and momentum destorying long throws seemed to suck the life out of us. If he goes Im more than happy. If he stays then Gerrard will hopefully be telling him to sit the **** down and get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 At first it was cool. It worked for a game or two but the defending fell off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 A failed experiment in the end. Seems like we paid someone to make our set pieces WORSE! Imagine. Future Villa quiz question this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayEm Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I didn't pay particularly close attention to Villa or get to watch any of the matches at all during October, so coming to this thread now and seeing how detested MacPhee's influence became is quite striking -- the most recent impression I had was that his appointment was something of a masterstroke. I don't doubt the current consensus but it's almost amusing to see 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I had reservations about this fella when he joined, many Scotland football fans I know we're equally bemused... I'm still none the wiser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2021 Nothing wrong with the concept, quite the opposite in fact. He just doesn't seem to have worked. The 100% reliance on the long throw is wrong, it should be a variation. Our offensive free kicks and corners are way too elaborate to come off regularly. More often than not a wicked whipped in ball will create more havoc than a game of footy tennis before trying to lob it in. Set piece defending has been awful. So nothing wrong with a set piece coach, just need one that works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I suspect our new manager will address his future, once he has his feet under the table. He will probably know if he has more to offer than that Ings goal and long throws, such as getting our defence organised at set pieces. I think the appointment of was a forward thinking one and it was one that Scotland later followed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do all the planning in the world but you need to get the ball in the box 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Got no problem with him staying It was due to the lack of other coaches that we had that he seemed elevated to the inner circle that seemed weird to me, he was effectively smiths 3rd in command, it looks like he'll be down the pecking order with Gerrard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
