Which is on the manager as well btw Then play the 18 year olds. I thought we were past the days of right backs all over the pitch, clearly not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 1 minute ago, MaVilla said: and bringing Young on for Ramsey, i just dont get it. It's one of those decisions, where if it doesn't work, like the continuing of 3 at the back or the same line-up after the Wolves debacle, that really starts to hurt a manager. I hate to say it, but Dean seems to not be thinking clearly lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, just bringing in a non-Villa perspective...supporters of a team can be an echo chamber among themselves, and the echos are all very bad right now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJCB Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Have all the sky sports pundits forgotten the names of our players? I’ve heard “the defender” and “the keeper” as well as “mcgill” and “Bondia” so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Buendia is going to struggle in this team when we don't put more than 3 or 4 passes together before the big hoof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham lead after an entertaining first half at Villa Park. There hasn’t been a huge amount in it, but West Ham have been a peedie bit more relaxed, confident and willing to take risks." A very different read... Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think Young has been our best palyer so I think that was a good sub. Two bad errors for their goals has cost us and I wonder why Arsenal let Martinez go and see the difference in the distribution from Ramsdale compared to him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ben brought back in whilst not being mentally at it after such a long trip. Bad management There was never any chance of Smith starting Steer if Emi was remotely available, and tbh I'd expect any Premier League manager to make the same decision when faced with those options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I do like how Buendia is making himself available for the pass, he’s getting into some good pockets, even if the rest of the team don’t always notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Performance is a bunch of players trying hard but they haven't a clue what they're supposed to be doing in the system. I think the problem this season so far is Dean Smith 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Aerial and long balls just don't work against West Ham. We have had our best moments when moving the ball quickly and switching flanks, with runners around the box to receive the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more of the ball going to Bailey and Buendia. Long ball is a perfectly fine tactic...if you have someone supporting the striker to mop up knock downs from CBs or CFs. We don't have anyone doing that. So it just goes to Rice who sets off an attack. Needs to change. Edited October 31, 2021 by May-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'd been really hoping to see Bailey start, but his only contribution that stands out so far is a long throw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted October 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2021 There are rumors that Shaky is a bit of a bellend and ROK & Terry couldn't get on with him. But he stayed in Dean's good books so he's the last man standing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pregra Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Watching replays of it now, Bailey’s «defending» for the 1st goal is infuriating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
