Tom13 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Douglas and Kamara: Quote Villa have been beaten only twice in the Premier League when the two men have started together - and one of those was lost after the partnership was broken up by a late substitution. The run of results that saw Gerrard sacked came with Kamara injured. That will baffle Steven. Even when Kamara was fit he played McGinn and Ramsey with him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely recall him using Doug and Kamara and us looking good, then he broke it up for seemingly no reason and never went back to it. What a loser he was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be what I'm thinking of, and then he didn't use it again after that game maybe. There could well be another game where they started (possibly the one referenced in the quote above) where it was working fine then he changed it and we then lost. Either way, it was a proper enigma for the duration of his time here. They had the perfect skillset to do the obscure covering role he wanted of them, and he was blind to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually looking forward adding Guendouzi to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't creating much as a team but those pair were working well, largely controlling the midfield. Gerrard took Luiz off for Ramsey and they scored soon after without Villa ever looking any danger at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways, it's good he didn't accidentally latch on to how good they were, as we'd probably still be stuck with him and wouldn't have Emery.

I’ve just read the article/sales pitch and came to post the same. I wish there was a way for our players to get recognition for their excellence but without being noticed.

Adam2003 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Fascinating that the process to sign him started under Dean Smith. These things can take so much more time than we realise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also played Ramsey in the front three in that game and he was superb. Set up Bailey's goal IIRC. He never played him there again..... Bizarre manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
