Gerrard keeps talking about it, but unless our style is to play badly then I don't think the style has been implemented at all. Things need to change at half-time. 100% this We are very much back to "how do Aston Villa play?" not a **** clue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is Coutinho suppose to be getting the ball? Our full backs rarely overlap, they just wait for a pass backwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted August 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2022 Ramsey and Coutinho are in a red hot battle to decide who can turn over more ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 New season, same problem - midfield. Would rather see Luiz and Sanson in there than McGinn and Ramsey. Coutinho completely anonymous as a result. We really really need a top class 8 before the window shuts. Also please play Buendia, he’s really good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think Coutinho, Ramsey and McGinn have been the worst players in that order. Kamara is now finding out what Luiz did in that those around you aren't that protective. We need to dominate centrally yet are so weak. Here's hoping for a change or two and a rocket up the arse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After ripping into them he needs to go and find a mirror so he can rip into himself, he's made so many poor decisions for this game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be happy just to continue to sit on the lead now. Parker has them well schooled on going to ground at every opportunity as well doesn't he? We need to start the second half with Buendia! They are letting us have it till we're halfway into their half, then as soon as they press or try and cut down our options to get the ball back we just have nothing to offer. Need far better movement off the ball, there's no imagination, the player with the ball has nothing on far too often. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Ramsey and Mcginn is just such a poor midfield combo since they are both pretty awful on the ball. Luiz and Buendia need to come on at half time. Sanson too if he was around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Gerrard talks about style all the fuxking time and has been since day 1. What is this supposed style?! Mings loses the captaincy and benched against a huge team who acore from a set piece after 2 minutes. Coutinho starts every game and looks past it - how Buendia doesn’t start is beyond me. There is no cohesion whatsoever. Bournemouth are shit and will finish in the bottom 3. I can’t see Gerrard lasting past the mid season break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 My McGinn fears have already manifested. Gerrard has tied his own hands now with it. McGinn to be the first name on the team sheet come Hell or high water. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It was a crap half against one of the weakest teams in the league. Why are certain people so desperate to moderate any negativity? Match threads are always full of people using it for catharsis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big 45 to come… Very "me thinks the lady doth protest too much" isn't it. Maybe it's because our player do it so rarely that it's worth shouting about when they do.

OutByEaster? Posted August 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 6, 2022 The right changes, a goal in the opening fifteen to twenty minutes of the half and we win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
