alreadyexists Posted August 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2022 I know it’s been talked about to death, but Mings was injured last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hopefully another week with a coach with all the elite badges will have done us some good and we actually look like a team today instead of individuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 My predicted line up Martinez. Cash. Carlos. Mings. Digne. Karmara. Douglas Luiz. Mcginn. Beundia. Bailey. Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton are no world beaters and likely won't be playing a CF tomorrow. CM options are also mediocre compared to us. We've also beaten them 4 times out of 6 since coming up so other than it's hot I'm struggling to see what excuses there are to be made if we play another laboured game. Going to be a very difficult few weeks for Gerrard if we don't win tomorrow, it's that simple. That’s a big if Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 That’s encouraging, I’m looking forward to a Mings and Carlos partnership. Just wish we could solidify midfield just as well… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted August 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2022 could be a terrible game this, if we are as disjointed as we were last week I can see a just rotten 0-0 here. They'd be happy with a point, onus is on us to not be just utter shite like last time out, even just looking like the players know where the other players around them might be would be great. Oh and the player on the ball not needing a **** telescope to see his nearest team mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hopefully will be good one but I think playing football in 30+C I don’t agree with as much. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 There is enough individual talent in this squad to be able to win against Everton even if it doesn't click. Just gotta make sure that the right players have the ball at their feet in the right areas. Long term thou we gotta figure out a way to look like a team that works as a team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody has said it, but we’re just too easy to run through in the middle of the pitch. Kamara will help but he can’t be as isolated as he was last week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, I'm not asking for total football, just basic football. First touch, keep the ball, movement off the ball to give the player on it a chance, being compact, press together, the sort of stuff the u16s will be getting drummed into them. isolated individuals might make something happen to get us 3 points but there's no guarantees... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Gerrard first came in we were playing lots of one-two’s and moving the ball quickly. God knows what happened, but we looked a lot like Southgate was managing us last week.
