Jas10 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Why have we become so bad from corners? The last things we need is more weaknesses… Get the clueless McPhee and Danks out, contributed nothing just made us worse ever since they arrived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JB Posted August 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2022 I think it’s staggering that anyone has referred to an error by Mings. Unless not being taller is an error. Judged to a completely different standard than anyone else. He’s been really good today. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVillaPortsmouth Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Make no bones about Everton are piss poor - we have been only slightly better, not much different to last week except goal. Hopefully breeds a bit of confidence, but still feel we are set up soooooooo wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We need to fix our shape from corners it’s a joke. Other than that it’s been alright from us, still too slow moving the ball and when we pick the pace up we look dangerous. Keeping the ball in this heat will do us favours, it’ll tire out the Everton players and we still have Buendia, Archer and Bailey to bring on. This is the time to show our killer instinct.

a-k Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Coutinho pretty invisible for the most part, McGinn terrible albeit played a nice ball for the goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to that point, nothing was happening and in the main since they’ve played together - it’s not worked. It clearly has worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We are so slow in possession. First time we play the ball quickly we get in behind the defence and play a ball across the face of goal that Coutinho narrowly misses. Also why is mcginn standing on the last defender instead of being a passing option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Decent enough thus far but still struggling to create chances. Everton will have to open up at some point and probably bring on Rondon so will be interesting to see how that changes the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 First half, we were the better side, but we are really lacking the ability to create real chances. Ings had to work real hard to take his. our defending is sketchy at best, we’ve been lucky with a flag and the fact everton are more impudent up front than a monk im still clueless what our game plan is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Good enough half. Playing much better without wowing yet. Concerned about set pieces, looks like it’s playing on their minds, very nervous. All could do better but the 4-4-2 is working today, much more control and confidence, enough opportunities but execution just not quite there demonstrating a little unfamiliarity. Lovely confident goal by Ings, and good to see Coutinho getting stuck in. Cash having a good game and Ramsey looks a likely lad today. Plenty still on the bench, another goal would settle nerves.

Davkaus Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I don't think we're playing well at all, but fortunately, we look better than last week, and we're up against another relegation candidate. Clearly the better team today, but against ~15 other teams in the league, we'd be **** playing like this, we're wide open at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 why did the commentator say "thats why Villa paid 35m dollars for Ings". uuuuhhh......what, we arent in America love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Buendia straight on at HT raring to go is the move. Coutinho on a yellow and Emi deserves 45mins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just now, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Yeah that's still a major worry, and you can easily see how any team with major set piece threats turn us over. This needs alot of work. I'll tell you what though, I feel much better with Ming's in there with Carlos than Konsa. We were decent at defending them previously but as someone else mentioned before two. We players in our defensive unit might have something to do with it.

Tracked back pretty well. It’s just so limiting when we don’t attack with any kind of urgency. This tactic of letting the opposing team get everyone back before we move forward needs to stop… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
