Villa aren’t even bothering to close our CBs down, when they are on the ball, because they know nothing will come from the possession
I think the heat map of our FBs will tell a story on non attacking, which is a key part of our game, but when our ball retention is so bad you can see why.
I feel that the 5 subs rule has turned Ralph into a much more negative coach, this performance in particular reminds me of a Pellegrino one.
“Er Ralph, we signed a load of players, so that you don’t have to play the sh*t ones that you always complain about.” “Yah, so?” “So, you know, don’t you want to play them?” “But then who will I blame when we lose?”
This reminds me of one of those performances last season where the players are accused of not trying. Just looking at Salisu there trying to take that throw in, noone is even attempting to create any space or make any movement. Lazy play.
