I haven't seen any changes to the drivel Gerrard served up last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Traore is just no good for any system you can't build any play off him. Bailey, meh, I just watch in hope that hes a player, never shows much for me except cut in dribbles into a load of bodies. Mcginn just shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You watch a Spurs vs Chelsea or the like and it's 100 miles an hour and we're so lackadaisical But we are playing against a team sitting back. What are they going to run fast into when the sapce isn't there ? I agree the constant back passing becomes tiresome, there should be a square or forward pass always on, something we rarely position ourselves to have. Teams like Brentford can manage to do it so I struggle to see why we can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am not one of the fans that have a two day drive or a flight to get to the game and were expecting to see the mighty Villa turn up too. Exactly what I was going to say, this match would have easily cost some people over a grand, with travel and accommodation. This will be some peoples only chance to see their team play live!

If they can't be bothered dispatching a (quite frankly shit) team like this, then: a) The club should not be charging fans to watch, and should issue refunds and b) It does not bode well for the season ahead. The "it's only Brisbane Roar, who gives a shit" attitude is one very big reason why we get knocked out of the cups in early rounds more often than not, and fail to beat the teams below us in the league.

We just need to learn how to pick the lock. Or if we get some lower league cup opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair there might actually be space for our one dimensional forwards to run into. Hoping we raise our game for that one, especially as it should be a packed house and maybe the team will see it more as a premier league game, kind of like the Leeds friendly which was approached in the right way by us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 There's a few over reactions on here (not surprisingly by the anti-Gerrard brigade). It's pre-season, it's all about fitness, getting minutes in the bank and not getting injured. We are in control of the game - their one serious chance only came about because Kamara was body checked by the ref. Ok, we're struggling to create against a well drilled low-block but I'm sure we will break them down in the second half. Carlos and Kamara look very good - both new signings, so that's a positive for Gerrard. We are trying Bailey and Traore out wide and neither are grasping the opportunity but they needed the opportunity. The game against Man U will be totally different so no point worrying about that off the back of this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
