romavillan Posted August 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2022 4-3-1-2 puts a lot of pressure on Coutinho to perform, let's hope he's bang on it. I'm not convinced that's our best shape or first XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Gerrard is clueless and reactionary. We lost last week. Why did we lose? We lost to two set piece goals because we had no height in defence. Why did we lack height? The 6ft+ destroyer of Mings was on the bench because the manager has a weak ego. We didn't lose last week because we lacked possession, we had all the possession. We didn't lose last week because we didn't create chances, we had 15 shots on goal (only 2 on target to be fair). Bringing in Mings as a reaction to last week is sound. Changing everything else about the formation after conceding two set piece goals? Doesn't make sense. The way we played last week wasn't great, but 66% possession and 15 shots against many other teams would result in points. He's throwing the baby out with the bathwater in trying to rectify last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to plan in long advance for games for various reasons and they move a lot for tv too late. I have a few more but you get the general idea. Most of it I can deal with and the family can but Gerrard football/performances and moms 32% increase almost push us all over the edge. We only renewed because that’s what you do! Like a drug addiction even if it’s not good for you Yeah but if the Gerrard crap continues we will get a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I can see why he went with the formation but I don’t think I would’ve started Ramsey, I’d prob have Dougie in there instead. Plus having Sanson on the bench also. Emi should’ve started as well but let’s see how these guys get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like with Ings until he started playing and not scoring. As always with Villa fans, your reputation is never higher than when you’re not being picked. Problem is our on the pitch players never seem to perform so we have to hope the ones on the bench can and then they don’t and it keeps going around in circles.

Jas10 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Can’t believe he hasn’t brought Luiz in at least. Midfield is a mess and I feel sorry for Kamara… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I dont understand how one of the best midfielders in PL era football can watch countless tapes back of his midfield pairing of McGinn and Ramsey and think yeah thats working, ill stick with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at today's front 6 as a combination, I have a feeling Gerrard's approach is similar! Why haven’t we “bamboozled them with two 10s”??!!!!
