Just checking that you haven't been misled about how far up Coutinho's arse Gerrard's head is. All the way. It’s quite amazing for Villa fans to be upset that Phillipe Coutinho is starting for us in a friendly 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to shed a few to be fair Bailey will get a reprieve this season as was injured a lot last year and has put in some training hours ahead of this pre-season which is paying off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us having to keep switch formation and players and I'm not sure that's going to get the consistency needed for where the club keep stating they want to be. Now that’s a legitimate concern, although I don’t know, I don’t necessarily see it as a bad thing that we have really good players on the bench and options. The problem is when they’re not performing and keep playing which we don’t have evidence for yet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is if we have to keep switching and changing because its not working. I worry that's going to happen because it was very rare that Watkins and Ings worked brilliantly together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Wanted to see Doug instead of McGinn but we’re all Perth of the Pride today amirite we should be beating this redmanc mob today or if not Gerrard is getting shown up by a manager taking on a mess and already getting a tune out of them. Goldbridge reckons Utd look fitter than we’ll be, lets see about that. We need to want it more than them and show it today. 2-1 Ings, Coutinho UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For moments in a game I'd agree. But he goes missing a lot. Hopefully a proper pre season helps with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It’s a bit of a selection dilemma for SG. We either go two 10s and one 9, or one 10 and two 9s. If we go with one 10 then it’s clear who the first choice 10 is. And unfortunately for Buendia, we’ve looked better with two strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
