I still don’t think I’ve seen Bailey sprint. Not today but ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejvilla Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Good start. Watching 2nd half through my fingers from behind the couch. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 2 minutes ago, Jas10 said: Dreaming that a new manager comes in, strips McGinn of captaincy and drops him, regularly plays Luiz and convinces him to sign a new deal. Builds around Buendia… I'd be tempted to make the Mcginn Buendia swap using the same formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Watching the replay someone said earlier Watkins could have gone first time on his chance... He was a long way out Would have been one hell of a strike to score from there Not a criticism cos Ederson is class at coming off his line and that's a superb pass from Dougie but the ball maybe could have had 5 more yards on it to give him more space on dias, i think that's the what if with that chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia and Coutinho would offer more possession, movement and be better outlets. Damn! I forgot Ramsey was even playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Just now, Aston_Villan4 said: I think he’s touched the ball twice? Yeah if that. He's not tracking back and he's not offering an out ball. I'd probably get Buendia on in his place, bit more frantic energy to hassle their possession.

Small, compact, busy midfielder. Same thing. Now get our ball if energy in Buendia on to do them what they do to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 3 minutes ago, sidcow said: I really feel we would be well served by replacing JJ with Coutinho or Buendia. Maybe it's just me, but while it looks like our usual 4-3-3 when the ball's in midfield, it looks like JJ is dropping into the midfield line at times and making it almost a 4-4-2 when we're deep in our own end. That may be part of the tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Decent half, amazing we restricted them to not many shots on target. Still there is a lack of cohesiveness when building our passes, still not sure what is worked on. Don't really see where a goal comes from for us. I'd take a 0-0 draw however.

Zero7 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I like what I see. BAiley is a lazy sod and mcginn has been poor again but other than that decent city will come out guns blazing but we need to stay focussed and sharp for the first 15 minutes to hold off the incoming onslaught. Then counter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Really don’t get the Buendia love. He loses the ball way too often. This would be the worst game to play him in, in my opinion. If we make a change it needs to be Coutinho for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2022 We had a decent enough chance in the opening minutes as well. I'd say we've had the best 2 chances to be honest assuming Walker was offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted September 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2022 We just need to play well and so far we are, 4 midfielders and 2 up top. 4-4-2. City need more width, I wonder who they could bring on to give them that? ..... the crowd will hit new volume levels. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 We've been solid in every position except perhaps Bailey who should be more aggressive and look to run at them when he receives the ball. Just hope we can maintain it second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haaland started off on the floor and was still ahead of him Didn't follow it up with any positive comment about the rest of the 45 minutes though did he He's had a couple of low confidence hoofs but in general his positioning physicality and competitiveness vs Haaland has been very good The problem is Haaland looks like the type to be enjoying it rather than shying away from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
