You're thinking wonder goal and flair days. Seems we might have sucked some of the enjoyment out of football for him . Hopefully he can get a chance to start expressing himself again soon.

thunderball Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 9 hours ago, villabromsgrove said: Why would Gerrard be interested in a fourth striker who is only 5'10"? Why would he want to spend multi millions on adding another 'small' player to the squad? 30 plus crosses against Bournemouth to our 5'10" and 5'11" strikers who were bullied off the ball in the inevitable PL way. But with £50m invested in Coutinho and Buendia surely the plan isn’t to spend the season firing crosses from the flanks to heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2022 2 hours ago, useless said: We haven't done nearly enough in the transfer market, just two new starting players, that in itself wouldn't be bad, but that's two players added to a team that finished fourteenth last season and people are demanding challenge for Europe this season, just not going to happen whoever is in charge, other teams are starting to strengthen now, at this stage we're arguably weaker relative to the rest of the league than we were last season. As it stands we will be overachieving to finish top half. Hopefully more work in the transfer market to be done a few signings in key positions will give us a much better chance of finishing top half, and higher if things go our way. Wrong. The club are demanding it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a hell of a lot of talk about our expectations being high, but the club are the ones driving it.

John Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 14 hours ago, messi11 said: Aston Villa's midfield on final day of the season 19/20 against West Ham where we finish 1 point from the drop. Here was our Midfield that day: Asif we still rocking Mcginn and Luiz Now Mcginn the club captain and undroppable. How come we've failed to improve our midfield? Didn't SG specifically say when giving McGinn the captain's armband, that it didn't make him undroppable? Mings was been dropped when captain and I'm sure John knows he runs the risk too. I do know that SG did say that we aimed to win all of our games, one league game down 37 to go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
