I have to say I’m disappointed that Gerrard has kept both McGinn and Luiz in the side today. Good to see Ings in the line up but the midfield needed a change. They better perform or we will see much the same again. Sanson has to be furious

Lets hope Gerrard has seen a reaction in training and they play better.
Pleased to see Ings get his chance, hope he scores a couple and keeps Watkins on the bench. The two of them scrapping for a place should improve both of them.
Expect to see either Sanson or Iregboem come in the second half.
Post by: Rudy Can't Fail on February 19, 2022, 02:07:43 PM
2nd sending off this year so a 2 game ban.
Now it makes sense. Cheers, Ger.

You can’t have press conferences telling us he remembers Sanson as a Marseille player and knows his quality. That he sat down with him to have a chat etc etc and then come line up time he once again misses out for both very ineffective incumbent midfielders.Sanson furious behaviour got him in trouble and hasnt beeen selected to play since! Lost the trust of Gerrard and his petulance has cost him
I understood that and maybe should have been more open to reading in between the lines of SG as well as that he doesn't stand for such behaviour

Post by: Smithy on February 19, 2022, 02:23:01 PM
We can only assume he's seen a decent reaction from the first-eleven in training. If we see a similar first-half to Newcastle I can imagine the crowd will get a little restless. A nice early goal will settle everything down.
I'm backing Ings to get a brace today.

If they don't show up again today, then the rest of the season feels pretty pointless until we get a DM in.
The club really hamstrung themselves with not getting in a DM in the window. Our options there are either crocked, very young or (on debut showing) a pretty poor CD.
Post by: edgysatsuma89 on February 19, 2022, 02:36:25 PM
I thought he might bottle it. He was already rowing back in his presser yesterday that maybe a reason for the midfield being shit at Newcastle was cos they were knackered from the Leeds game. So why didn't you change things up for Newcastle then, you dick?
Sorry, we all love McGinn but he's teachers pet under every manager. That's no good when his performances are wank.
To be fair to Sanson he probably sees McGinn get picked every week no matter how shit he's been and thinks 'why the fuck bother in training?'

SG has said that maybe he made the original comment about making various changes when he was still upset immediately after the last game. Having looked at things and knowing that the team he has picked has got some picking in the bank due to what they had done previously.1 win in 7. They have zero credit in the bank

Have a game plan and keeping narrow to leave the predictable full backs for Villa to create anything.
Still no effort at goal....
McGinn getting frustrated and fouling.
Buendia gambling and losing the ball as he does but then next in possession he manages a great pass to Ings who hit the post
Was that offside ? Finally an effort that was near close!
Real tactical battle but when Villa step up don't think Watford will cope
Having Chambers and Cash as creative players isn't what we want.
Villa changed mind about sub it seems
Change half time.

I’d much sooner get rid of Luiz, put Sanson in as a the DM and let McGinn come forward. He’s doing neither defending or attacking right now and Luiz is absolutely invisible. At least McGinn is looking for the ball and trying to contribute

Yep. This is classic Hodgson away from home performance and I'm not surprised it's been a bit of a stinker. In Coutinho and Buendia we've got the ability to find the one key chance that we need to win this game - just need the 3 points however we get them today.

Post by: Footy-Vill on February 19, 2022, 04:07:04 PM
10 shots to their 3, 55% possession, Emi snuffed their best opportunity and all of their corners have been easily handled.
Everyone relax. Slagging off the manager and the midfield is just getting ridiculous.
We are clearly the better team, clearly.
Better team yes . But better manager no. That's fair.
No offense, but you are a bit on the ridiculous side today.
Yes give it a rest FV we are trying to enjoy a football match here
Well let's hope we can!
OK message understood. Though we disagree.

Gerrard doesn't fool me with his sub standard approach in ability to communicate and that his attempts at motivating and being honest in players is lost on players in todays age. Guys clueless with one way and one way only. Rolling out his grit and best versions of ourselves is inspiring no one.
Footy you're allowed your view but please try not to sound so gleeful that Villa haven't scored yet. Its very tiresome and you sound completely detached.
