Tomaszk Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Great: Youri, Kamara, McGinn, Doug, Konsa Below par: Coutinho, Buendia, Archer Everyone else fairly routine... and we STILL looked absolutely brilliant for most of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I thought Coutinho looked quite lively and had a few decent efforts on goal. A fair few other posters have commented similar. Coutinho showed nice touches, passes and was involved quite a lot I would say. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Was that Lazio's first team we played in the first half? They seemed almost disinterested. Villa played like they were the better team, but I found our performance difficult to judge because of the opposition's lack of intensity. I thought Cash and Chambers had really good games considering the normal comments they get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite incredible. We've had so long of basically the first team picking itself every match regardless of form and fitness - that having genuine options in almost every position (and sometimes two or three options depending on how we want to play) is a weird (but very good) feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers probably suits that RB/RCB role better than Konsa too. Unai is going to have a hard time picking two from Dougie, Kamara and Tielemans. I think they are going to be our midfield three most matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got onto the M6 and then see 'M5 J1-J2' closed Ended up in Maccy Ds opposite the Hawthorns at 11pm, got back onto the M5 following the diversion down through Smethwick, got back to Somerset about 1.20am this morning. All that for a bloody friendly Least we won and it stopped raining for a few hours. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they'll play as a three though. Emery seems to be persisting with this 4-4-2 system (that's not a complaint, it works!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon trips to the north pole have been easier to navigate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree with you on Coutinho or Buendia I thought they both looked sharp. Just didn't happen for Archer last night though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmmmm ............ Thought Kamara was patchy - lot of poor passes in first half especially. Thought Coutinho had his best game since his debut. Still a little too slow but less lightweight and significantly better than Buendia was ! Archer looks poor and out of his depth. Maybe he will improve but at the moment looks like an average Championship player ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a lot faster than the Doug Ellis stand. Edited August 4, 2023 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
