striker Posted March 6, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 Thought Villa outplayed Portugal at their own game in the 1st half. Just needed more luck with the second ball in the box. McGinn’s best half of football for some time and I like the look of Sanson. Watkins also much better. Word of warning though. Seen Portugal soaking up pressure in the 1st half so many times this season only to hit teams late in the 2nd half with a sucker punch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claretman Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Decent first half. Bert needs to step it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he's playing bad or anything, just know he can do better. The guy when he wants to can be an absolute game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm highlighting a trend in the way we play, and we can rest assured that if Wolves make a change that tips the balance DS won't respond - he never does. Can't recall the last time we were good over 2 halves. Might be Liverpool? Point is, its rare, and that 1st half had everything but a goal, Wolves are a 2nd half team, so its really not in our favor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted March 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 Ollie Watkins has the best work-rate I've ever seen from a striker. Are we sure he's not a T-1000 ? Southgate should stick him on the plane for that alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_a Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Midfield shape improved, good pressing, unlucky up front. More of the same please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 looks like Luiz, Sanson & McGinn give us a balanced and busy midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted March 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2021 McGinn looks rejuvenated playing slightly more forward. Douglas Louis as the 6 and Sanson as the 8. Nice balance - certainly better than at Sheffield. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Feel McGinn needs to drive more into the box, Sansons looks more dangerous than McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Well done Dean Smith, they should be targeting Elmo and have play Traore there as a bluff, they are trying to get Neto on it and Deano anticipated that and played Traore as a block, marvelous. Now if we could just have the rub of the green for once and we put these away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
