Yep me too, lose today and the boo boys will be out in full force, lose and play shit and it could be the tide turning against Gerrard Also expecting a huge sarcastic cheer when he finally brings Buendia on the 2nd half, winning or losing I think VP will show what people think of him always being in the bench Edited August 13, 2022 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Gerrard's approach to team selection seems to be that if you throw enough s**t at a wall eventually it will stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't put it on the fans! If I'm having a bad **** week at work I don't get to look around me and point fingers and say "well my supporters weren't getting behind me" These guys are paid a **** fortune to kick a ball around a grass field and Gerrard is paid handsomely to set that up in the best possible way and send out the correct team 0% of any negative result will be on the fans.

jacketspuds Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 My main concern is that a man who was one of the best ever Premier League midfielders is unable to see just how crap our midfield has been and that it needs changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will be if we're playing well. The worry is if we concede and look to be offering little to get back in the game. I'm really hoping for a good start here. I'm not even that worried about winning at this point, it's more important to show some cohesion and idea of how to break teams down in the managers preferred formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing everything else about the formation after conceding two set piece goals? Doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense. We were absolutely diabolical. What doesn't make sense is our best player last week (Bailey) gets dropped and our worst player (Coutinho) keeps his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Commentators actually pointing out that Lampard and Gerrard are under much more scrutiny due to their profiles and playing reputations. Pointed out the Bruno Lage has won 1 in his last 9 at Wolves, and Hassenhuttl has won 1 in his last 14 at Southampton but nobody is bothered lol. Also SG on Mings in just shown pre match comments now, just confirmed that Tyrone has been carrying an injury, and he has trained extremely well this week etc Says Ty is the extremely good at getting first contact and cutting out first time threats etc Says Ings was lonely last week and he hopes Ollie in their can give them some more success.

He was lonely because our midfield cannot get in the ball and pass it forward to save their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
