Zero7 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Martinez could and should have saved at least on of them goals. When things are not going for you it spreads through the team. Young has done ok, don’t think Ramsey was in the game before his injury. we need to move the ball quicker and close down quicker, still in the game but another West Ham goal and our fragile confidence will take a massive hit..we ar e playing like a team low on confidence but still giving it a go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if this was true. They were all trying to get sent off against Arsenal. We just lack good, intelligent players and/or a clear game plan.

thabucks Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 If they decide time for a change, they’ll need to act before Spuds fire Nuno. We will also obviously be playing second fiddle to Newcastle in terms of managers joining us. We cannot afford to waste this season and signs aren’t great so far.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 This is the Villaverse we all know so well. When things were going well and looking up, I knew deep down it wouldnt last long and itd soon be a shitstorm again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem this season so far is Dean Smith Trying hard is subjective... And for that reason I think the problem isnt Dean Smith Something is up, not sure if it's the ins and outs this summer, players and coaches, or what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But right now, and for quite a while, we have been absolutely and unacceptably poor more often than not, and the excuses are running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 1 minute ago, May-Z said: This is McGinn though. Great reverse pass tos et up Buendia for the assist, but then loads of chipped shitty passes forward. He doesn't have full games of being great and then poor, just goes between the two in each match. I'd agree on this and it's becoming more noticeable as the season goes on. For me it's obvious we need a top talent midfielder next who can pass and is capable of getting the ball to his team mates and January is the spot to do it even if it costs us bigger than the summer.

But he stayed in Dean's good books so he's the last man standing. Got Ranieri the sack at Leicester apparently. Leicester actually wanted Ranieri back soon after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted October 31, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think a rested focussed Martinez wold have saved both of those. If his dad being ill has (understandably) affected him, Dean should let him stay in South America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Cash seems our best outlet at the moment. Two shite goals to concede, though we asked for it on both occasions gifting too much space. Body language isn’t looking great across the board, Bailey trying to take a long throw-in seems redundant and has slowed us down on his flank when surely we should be looking to play quickly there. Massive half needed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted October 31, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2021 Sick of this BS narrative that “we were better when the fans weren’t there” is absolute rubbish. We were better when we had Grealish, when we didn’t we were largely shit even without the fans. The biggest problem we have is that for three years we have been good with Grealish and shit without him despite spend £300m. People really need to wake up to that because it is just a fact. Villa Park could be empty and we would still be struggling without Grealish because that has been the pattern for 3 years. It isn’t the fans attendance or absence that is the problem. People need to start waking up to what the actual issue is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The only hope is we can’t possibly be as bad in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
