Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hopefully Bailey has the freedom to pop up on the left. Tomkins and Ward are one of the slowest defensive pairs you could come up against in this league. I'd expect Watkins to run into those channels too.

Bailey needs to impress with a very strong bench ready to take his place. I think SG will love Watkins work rate up top, he’s a press machine. Glad to see Marv start again, I thought he was good last week but glad to have Doug back on the bench. All three midfielders could be replaced with those on the bench. Luiz, Chuk and Sanson. the front 3 will need to press as a group, one individual pressing alone is too easy to bypass, Bailey and Young, or whoever is in that front 3, needs to do the business pressing also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a hunch Ings would be taken out which is Gerrard flexing his muscle nicely. Wouldn't have started Young as lively as he was last week, guess it's to counter Zaha a bit more. Surprised by that but he was out for a while. Precaution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hopefully we will get different lineups considering the opponent's strength and how they have done in training, as opposed to just winning a few games and just hoping that same team continues to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for us he is only back and will hopefully not be ready to make a meaningful impact off the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Andersen out for them is good news, no way is Tomkins as good a CB as he is so hopefully Ollie more confident after his goal and him and Bailey can press him a bit as he isn't a good passer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're getting dropped for a 36 year old with a decent 8 minutes something is wrong. I'm going presume it's because Buendia and his constant moaning last week was noted. I’m not a fan of the Buendia attitude false narrative being thrown around constantly. It came out in the press that Young impressed in their first training sessions and had a good spell when he came on against Brighton. I think Gerrard wants to tap into his experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 36 year old Italian Champions winning player you mean? Who did this under one of the toughest and highest rated managers in the world? As well as has more pedigree and footballing achievements than 90 percent of our squad? Narratives don't change facts mate. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Worried about the press from the front 3. Watkins is going to have to put in a massive shift for us there. With a bench this strong kinda wish we had the 5 sub rule. Helps keeps the press strong all 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 It might backfire but him starting Ash makes sense considering what SG said in the week about keeping standards high, that strength to kick on, the winning mentality to do it again in the next game is what Ash has had to have since leaving Villa, it's smart from SG, Ash will be a other leader on the pitch, we need them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Buendia been a bit like Grealish so far. Moved to a bigger club with bigger expectations. Shown flashes of ability but no consistency. Benched today and rightfully so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be anything other than attitude. There is no attitude, except in your head. He is clearly annoyed by his own performances, and that is pretty obvious after he took his seat. He knows he is better than he is showing, and that has to be frustrating. I saw that he was up celebrating with the rest at the final whistle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
