bannedfromHandV Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Struggling to control the game, not particularly great off the ball either, and our keeper looks like Joe Lycett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viivvaa66 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Even if we replace Cash, we still have a rubbish midfield that can’t put two passes together. Are we missing Luiz this much? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted August 3 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3 (edited) Club America are being very well coached and tactically disciplined, but sometimes their skills aren't quite Premier League level. Still, what a fantastic challenge for us! Super stoked about Bogarde and Gauci and Matsan -- and Archer seems on the verge of something but is probably going off now. REally interesting so far. We're beginning to see who will be key this year, and where we have question marks. Nice to see some of the little cool things on the edge of the tour -- Benteke and Tielemans meeting up for that interview. So cool.

useless Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Need to look after the ball better, and get our creative players into the game more, we're somewhat bypassing them by trying to play the killer pass too early. Nothing too concerning though, just a steady practice game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Everything about Villa is too slow and ponderous. Torres and Onana’s passing, Cash’s tacking, archer’s runs. Bailey and Rogers barely there Mcginn, Bogarde, Tielemans been the highlight of the half Edited August 3 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Not properly replacing Luiz will be our undoing this season. Tielemans is just not that guy, and Onana is the signing you make if you had sold Kamara, not Luiz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Just dipped in for 20 mins. Ouch. McGinn on the left, please **** christ Unai, NO. That's a season killer. Archer doesn't want to be a Villa player. No drive. Maatsen looks fat and slow. Gauci doesn't look like a professional footballer. Onana is much better than Luiz in that position for us. CB, sub keeper, sub striker, McGinn RM or on the bench: We can scare the top 4 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d been kicked and muscled off the the ball everytime 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey, Ramsey, Buendia, Rogers, Iling-JR, Dobbin. Anyone except McGinn. It kills him and we always struggle when McGinn isn't in the game.

Problem is we were never going to replace his intangibles which were a massive part of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I think we look pretty dogshit tbh. 2 weeks out from the season opener and we lack any composure or cohesion. Still giving the ball away needlessly in midfield and unable to move the ball and retain possession. The backline looks poor, and Gauci and Archer are nowhere near the standard needed to deputise if required. Onana and Bogarde look decent but we look 4 weeks off being ready. Okay we have Watkins, Konsa and Martinez to return but they will have had virtually no pre season with new team mates either. I can't understand all the positivity when we look far from ready.
