Wainy316 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Brought his successful formation from Rangers to Villa and got off to a good start. Apparently he was rigid and never diverted from that whilst up there but it was justified when he got off to a good start here. His reluctance to change when we lost our key component (Nakamba) is what led to our bad run but then for the Brighton game he finally changes it up and voila!

Farlz Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I definitely overreacted during our dodgy run. Didn’t go as far as worry about relegation because that was never happening but I definitely doubted Gerrard. Probably shouldn’t have done that. So I'm gonna say the tactical switch up has worked an absolute treat. We’re just a far more balanced side and that’s delivered 3 outstanding results on the spin. Got us in a nice position now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 We’ve had him walking backwards chewing gum at Old Trafford and now he’s doing the Bielsa crouch at Elland Road. Absolutely shithousery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Very happy with our performances these last 3 matches. The tweaked system has worked wonders and we seem to have found the best way to attack while still staying strong at the back. I'm still not completely sold on Gerrard as the manager yet, but he's starting to turn me around. These last three matches were brilliant, but we were absolutely horrible the 3 before that... Let's see if we can continue to pick up points and close out the season strong! UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I feel the tactical change from Gerrard has solved our midfield problem. We seem to have one full back going forward and the second arriving later, so if we lose possession in that attack we have an extra defender as the other full back hasn't bombed forward at the same time as we were doing before Brighton game. Take Cash's goal, he came from deep later in the attacking play, if the ball was turned over if say Ings passed to someone centrally before Cash got forward and it was intercepted. We then have more defenders to cover the counter. I also think because arriving late at the back post has lead to the improved goals and assists from Cash too. Play is sucked towards the left as that's where Coutinho drifts to and sucks the play towards him. Cash then see's all the space ahead of him and makes the late run into it. It's such a simple yet effective tactical change. I think this change still works with the two 10s option too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lesser manager would have been a giddy idiot and fessed up. It's all business with Gerrard, loose lips sink ships. I hate interviewers/pundits asking managers questions like that - how about you watch the game and figure it out yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 We are starting to play more like the Gerrard side he spoke of. You can tell just how much it means to the lads like Cash and others to play under him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gwi1890 Posted March 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2022 We’ve limited the last 3 sides we’ve played to one shot on target. The clean sheets are as satisfying as the goals. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully given time and pre-season to really drill the squad, Gerrard and his team will be able to reduce the duff performances and we will be really pushing the top 6-8 positions next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
