Ryan - 6 Time to put Sanchez back in who has better distribution and height for set pieces
Veltman - 6 solid
Dunk - 5 looked an angry man all the game. His composure has disappeared. Would be near to getting dropped if Webster wasn’t shot.
Webster - 5 Looks an accident waiting to happen...
Wanted to get off, showered and off home before Ryan told him how crap he is at half time. He needs a couple of games on the bench. Connelly worries the opposition far more with his movement and will eventually form a better understanding with Welbeck.
Exactly my thoughts. I believed he may have had his day, but he was superb today in that deeper role. It suits him because he does not have to rely on pace and only has to cover two thirds of the pitch which helps him get thru the 90 minutes
Although you don’t want players getting injured. They do want to play for their country and in world cups etc. Alzate has probably been dropped because he is not playing. Can’t be doing any good for his confidence or feelings, Especially as he was playing well before being dropped. Potter was...
Have to say the standard of play was terrible. It was Villa's first points of the season and Brighton were awful. How our ladies drew with Man City I will never know. Luckily only one team go down. Like to see them do well but we look a poor side with no goal threat. Perhaps that is a club...
I cannot for the life of me know why Alzate was ever dropped. At least 3 or 4 players have had a run of bad or average games and kept their places. Alzate was on form and one of our most consistent performers. How he can pick Gross in front of him I will never know. He offers a lot more pace and...
If White had been moved to right back and not Gross that cross would never have come in for Bale to score. Why GP put Gross there out of position I will never know. A tactical disaster.
I am not a Potter out critic either and hope he turns results round. My worry is he is playing players out of form above others that are just as competent. He seems to have lost the trust of the young players Connelly and Alzate for instance. Both have not had a particularly bad game but have in...
I think Connelly is better finisher than Maupay as he does things by instinct. Maupay needs time and then the chance has gone. It is time to give Connelly a run on his own up front or in a two with either Maupay or Welbeck. Trossard also needs to be benched on his last two matches so maybe you...
Why bring Gross on instead of Alzate. Beginning to think his substitutions are getting like Chris Hughton. 5 wins in a year and 1 in 11 at home is not good enough. Potter can’t keep saying I am proud of the way we played and we don’t get any points. Even our goal is an own goal.
Agree with most of this. Bissouma a 6 and Connelly looked more of a threat than Mauapay so another 6.
In my opinion Potter got it wrong today. Alzate should have started and White stayed in defence. The team carried Trossard today and Maupay and Burn were not much better. We were too slow at...
