I like how he has used a 2nd striker as a wide forward who will move centrally allowing more space for an attacking midfielder or fullback to move into. I've said more than once I think this is best way to get most out of Ings and Watkins, we can have Buendia with them as a front three. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobs Posted November 10, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2021 1 minute ago, MaVilla said: ok fair point, but again, we have quite a few players who can play wide or in a 10, or a forward roaming position. Im not saying Kent isnt good, or that he wouldnt be a nice addition, but in reality, most Villa fans will say that if we have 50m, or even 100m in Jan to spend, right now there are other critical areas we need to upgrade before any of the front players, thats all im saying. Our squad is extremely top heavy right now when fit, up front (and in forward positions) we have Ings, Watkins, Traore, Bailey, Buendia, Bidace, as well as other players who could play a 10 or roaming role, where our midfield is quite a disaster right now and effectively made of paper mache, and even our defence is a bit ropey. Yip, all fair points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can there be no ambition in appointing Gerrard when you say if we wanted a solid safe pair of hands we would go for Potter or Hasenhuttl. By not going for a safe pair of hands is by definition being ambitious. Yes it is a risk but it can't be claimed it isn't ambitious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be Bruce all over, board could give him 200 million and he loses 10 in a row and gets off reputation free 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my fear is that we’ll put all our eggs in one basket just for him to finish the international break holding a Rangers scarf above his head and a big fat pay rise. I actually like the idea of Gerrard but I hope we are still interviewing other candidates and not Roberto Martinez. If we weren't looking at other managers then Gerrard would either be our manager now or he would have ruled himself out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers had approx 150,000 fans in Manchester and Celtic took approx 80,000 to 90,000 fans to Seville for their respective UEFA Cup Finals over the last few years. I don’t know many clubs that could match these numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negatives, that accent is going to take some getting used to for me. Yeah, got to like that. My favourite bit was the discussion on the use of subs. It was tactical. Christ, I have wanted to hear a Villa manager use subs like that for years. Normally it is just for fresh legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) None of the TV channel picked Liverpool vs Villa for TV. They will be heartbroken they cannot show his return. I do imagine it will be sickening Edited November 10, 2021 by Zatman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term boost by getting everyone to run 100mph. But as players leave and Gerrard bring his own players in I fear the worse. Really hope I'm wrong but this has disaster written all over it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
