Icarium Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Well that was fing horrendous. Looks like the team that turned out after Xmas last season. Smith getting out managed as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 This is reminding of the game vs Leeds at Villa Park last year but somehow worse. Targett got destroyed by Harrison that day and we did nothing for most of the game to change it, to try and help him out. I don't understand how a Premier League football team can just carry on letting themselves get exposed so easily. If we had tried to rectify the issue we may have only been 1-0 down at half time. Instead we are deservedly 2-0 down and it could be worse. There is very little positives you can take from that half other than its only 2-0. We had a passage of about 2 minutes where we actually turned up. The rest of the game we've looked like a bunch of strangers playing with one another. We expected a tough start with everything that has gone on, but this really isn't good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Pre Season has f***ed us. Terry leaving has f***ed us defensively. The only position I’m worried about this season is that central midfield. Something needs to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Has to make changes at half time but knowing Smith he’ll leave it till 75min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 They’ve ripped us apart on the break. We can’t deal with Sarr’s pace at all. It seems we’ve forgotten how to tackle as well. It’s going to take time for the new players to find their form, we’ve looked disjointed going forward and look short on ideas. The two goals had a huge slice of luck for Watford, but they made it happen so deserve to be 2-0 up. We’re better than this, it just might take time to prove it though.

hippo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Weve tried to be to clever in the transfer market - all this team balance / spreading the load bollox - Weve lost a superstar - replace him simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Target and ElGhazi off. Tuanzebe and Bailey on. 3-5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Cash is really frustrating. Looks championship at best out there. To be fair, so so many of them. Get Bailey and Chuk on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFirstMan Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Mike Dean isn't the main problem here - the main problem is we're shit at defending today - especially left flank. The midfield can't win the ball or keep the ball, let alone pass the ball - and the attack is frustrated to shit - waste of time watching that 45 mins.

stegzy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Worst I’ve seen us play for a long time. Only Mcginn hasn’t been rubbish. Tricky situation now as we need more help defensively but also need goals. Full backs have been particularly crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 We've been shite but a bit unlucky at the same time in the sense that there isn't much in it. Not exactly like we've been carved open for either goal, which have dropped a bit fortunately for them. Needs sorting quickly anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just now, bose said: No one playing well Can't argue with that, just no one at the required level or even particularly close to it. We look very undercooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett needs to come of and let’s use Youngs experience to mark Sarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Smith can go **** himself. He's killed us with this team selection. Not even having Guilbert on the bench who was pretty conclusively a top 5 right back last season when he played is an absolute disgrace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just bring on Bailey at this point. Might be entertaining at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith starts him on the wing… Yep, I've called for Young to play all games, but it looks like I was wrong. Smith prefers Targett (like this whole board does), and Young is a fill-in for anyone.
