If we can't even boss a League 1 side, it's not the players that is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 1 minute ago, TheAuthority said: What is wrong with 4-2-3-1?? This formation is awful Playing 2 DMs is turgid and nonsensical, partly because if you're a #6 and you've got another one beside you, and 4 lads behind, that's already the majority of the team in its own half of the pitch. So in possession you've got zero incentive to 'try' anything, and unless you're magic then the majority of the time it will not come off. No point playing a safe pass to the likes of **** McGinn in front of you, as he'll just lose it. We're poor passers anyway, so that doesn't help of course.

Villatillidie95 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm concerned with the capacity of our executive team at the moment....how can they not see what we are all seeing, more importantly how are they not acting and pulling the trigger on gerrard and getting a statesmanlike tactician in to take us to the next level....someone with credibility and respect in the game like pochetino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It's hard to put fault at the centre backs when's there's a pitch of open space in front of them. Kamara is having to do it all on his own in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Last year we took a pretty strong Chelsea side to penalties with a side including steer, tuanzebe, hause, young, sanson, nakamba, archer, el ghazhi and traore Tonight we are playing a pretty much 1st choice 11 and look clueless against league 1 opposition 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm here and I'm **** pissed. The players have no idea of the structure, they look lost and devoid of any plan or tactics. This is a third division side and they have been the better team. Even if we fluke a win, he has to go I take no pleasure in saying that. This is beyond him. **** buying more players..pay Pochettino £25m for 2 seasons to fix this **** mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 23, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2022 Not sure what to make of it. In the three areas: We still look weak at the back - Digne has had his third poor game of the season and his obvious understudy isn't even on the bench. Mings is holding this line together. In midfield, the shape is still wrong, Doug needs to be deeper alongside Kamara, McGinn can play in front of them but someone needs to take one of his cookies away every time he tries a long Holywood diagonal. It would be interesting to see Ramsey there in the second half, but what I'd really like to see it Kamara and a new midfielder behind Luiz. Up front, Watkins gets in behind defences in the corners, Ings has some knowhow around the box and Coutinho is capable of opening up defences - none of them are really doing that and they look like this is the first time they've ever met. I think we'll win, we're more than a match for Bolton. But then they are a league one side. We're going to get battered by Arsenal and Man City - the West Ham game is Gerrard's job. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Archer on for Ollie and Leon for Ings would be my half time subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excise the shit manager and get a proper coach in and you'll see an upturn in player performance. To be clear this is prime 2012 messi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan501 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Mcginn just cannot keep the ball, Gerrard needs sacking for just picking him. If villa want ball retention mcginn needs to be got Rod off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
