Chindie Posted March 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2022 Ramsey wasn't great against Leeds but it wasn't like he was actively bad either, he had flashes of influencing the game but drifted in and out of it. I'd probably have rested him for this match but can see why he hasn't - he didn't drop a clanger, if he's fit I guess Gerrard sees it as his place to lose and just being 'alright' in the match before, where we won, isn't reason to be out of the side. Not the decision I'd have made but he's the manager. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't it all falls apart. Yes but if he keeps the squad happy but doesnt get results, in ends in one way. If he get results with a few players losing interest, no-one cares. Plus no-one certainly ever cares about players not getting games when we're winning. People would be screaming for Buendia to start if we hadnt won 3 in a row. As of right now, no-one is saying it and rightly so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Like many , I am surprised Sanson does not get a start today. However, an unchanged winning team has a nice ring about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 21 minutes ago, VillaChris said: Gerrard trusted him to start v Chelsea and Man. United. I've always suspected he just sees Sanson as an alternative for McGinn and not Ramsey or Luiz so as long as McGinn is available Sanson isn't starting unless we tweak midfield structure. He's still trusted at least to come on to see out games we're winning with 15-20 minutes left. You may be right but sounds strange at the same time, Ramsey and Sanson are both right footed while McGinn is left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 unchanged lineup isnt bad or anything, but i really do think sanson put in a good claim to make a rare start and would have been good to have someone comfortable with the ball and reasonably fresh to start against west ham. one thing i do have a concern about is the motivation of the wider squad, obviously they are all professionals but it can't take much to get to a point where they start putting the feelers out elsewhere or their morale dips as they believe however well they play as a substitute it won't yield a start unless an injury occurs. the squad is looking strong right now but we have to be prepared that some players who are good for the squad might not be happy to be bench warmers week after week and will look elsewhere. This could result in other players opting to join other premier league outfits. i do think we could rotate a bit more and be a bit more proactive that way, but still think this is a solid team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think we’ll see two fairly tired sides, and the winner will be the one who can stand the pace… I think that might be us, but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Ken McNaughts Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hope we smash the dirty cat-kicker and his apologist pals 8-0, ceremonially strip them of their right to wear claret & blue, hack the PA system and replace the club song with “I’m forever kicking Tiddles” so they can forever wallow in their shame... That or a jammy 1-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah to be fair to Gerrard, maybe he's gambled a bit and thought WH might not make changes either from their own Thursday match or only make one or two (which is what has happened). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 We’re not great against physical sides, but you’ve got to fancy us for at least a point the way we’re playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted March 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2022 Unchanged side which is good, but we looked leggy even before half time against Leeds so I just hope we don't start slow. We could be 2 down before we know it if we're not at the races, then it's a long way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
