Gerrard better stop with these tactics otherwise he's gone. In his head he is probably thinking the tactics will work with just one more player. Sign a new player and they still don't work, then he says the same again. Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) How we played against Brisbane was awful. This was exactly the same, but against better opponents… what was our squad doing on the training pitch? Have they worked on anything? We are playing the exact same football as we were last season… we still can’t pass, we still inviting teams to attack our open defences and if we win the ball we counter with slow play or give the ball away with a shocking pass… we play with 2 up top, neither of them see much of the ball and if they do, they are swamped by defenders, because how we play is so signposted it’s on google maps.

sne Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 1 minute ago, OutByEaster? said: Wasn't great - the back four and keeper don't look too bad - but there's no protection for them from runners, which is exactly the way United play - Kamara can't track three. I already feel sorry for Kamara because he's not going to be able to fix the issues we had last season. No player can, it's a flawed system that will always leave massive holes to exploit if the opponents are up for making some runs. It's Kamara against 3 just like it was Luiz or whoever against 3 last season. Having a front duo of Ings and Watkins with the same chemistry as Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie had in The Tourist also doesn't help. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho and Rashford have pace and are willing to run behind - Watkins and Ings don’t and aren’t Archer, Luiz and Buendia for Watkins, Ings and mcginn at half-time Easy to overreact to this but early days - I’m still confident we’ll be ok next season Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) I still see many of last seasons poor traits.....surrender possession so, so easily....struggle to find each other.....slow to react, slow to the ball. Not worrying Man U in the slightest......The goals conceded are just down to poor organisation....so,so sloppy. very disappointing, first half.

picicata Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It's only a friendly and all that but we do seem to have on going problems with chance creation and I think it will be a problem for the entire season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, they just looked better than us! We look like a mid-table team, they are probably a 5-6th place team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd honestly settle for stringing 3 passes together. They can stand a foot apart from each other if they want, I'll take it. I'd also take "not looking like we've got gaping holes everywhere" for 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, they have looked good. Without the ball they are league’s ahead of us. I think they will finish top 4 this season now that they have a decent manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From even in the last few friendlies I thought to myself " you can already see that Kamara is going to need help ". He does some outstanding things, only for another midfielder to toss it all up.

UpTheVilla26 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The worst thing watching that is the amount of times we've had possession and it has had to be passed backwards. Total lack of movement and creativity. We need a new striker, that's clear as day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 We look woeful up front which shouldn't be the case considering were fielding two strikers. Midfield looks just a useless as it was last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
