Hmm, instead of signing mmaee, jojic, gooch, we could have chucked 6 million on a proper fucking nailed on striker who can do the job in this league

The setup today was completely wrong. We had one striker up against two big shithouse centre backs.
We should be going at teams like this, but instead, Neil sets up as if we are playing against Man City.

Mmaee not quick enough...hes not an out and out striker What's worrying is that I bet over 90% of us had never heard of him until we were first linked, and even from oft misleading YouTube highlights reels, we could tell this from the outset. I like him a lot but it's not his trade, so how on earth are the supposedly well-informed, professional experts, who actually sought him out and actively recruited him, still playing silly twats by wanging him up there? What do you actually need to prove you know, or can do, to become a fucking manager? Sod all by the looks of it. |

Was absolutely pathetic lumping the ball up to Mmaee when he was surrounded by 4/5 Wednesday players and not a stoke player within 20 yards of him meaning they picked up every second ball.

Just play Wesley up front and put Bae behind him. Wesley can hold it up a bit while Bae is our only forward player who at least still tries to run with the ball a bit.

He too slow out wide. Mmaee is shit end of. Too slow and can’t lead the line at all. Has to play in a 2 up top if he plays. Manager hasn’t got a clue how to line these players up. |

I thought Mmae actually held it up quite well when we got it to his feet.
It was just that he had no one within 20 yards of him to do anything with it.

There's the issue right there - "No one to aim at up front".
The exact mentality of the manager. The idea of good forward play is to play to the strengths of the players you have. Mmaee needs creativity and pace around him, not sat on top of the full backs and a 10 that is a deep lying midfielder at the absolute best, with long balls whacked roughly in his direction.
27 minutes it took yesterday to get JunHo on the edge of their box with the ball at his feet. At home!
That's why we aren't scoring goals. It isn't the players in the system, it's the system that the manager has always used and can't change that doesn't suit the footballers he's had bought for him.
Get him gone.

Agreed, with Leris and Bae wide and no number 10, he had no options. In Neil’s defence, he was without Campbell and Haks (and Johnson who is less of a loss) and I was told Vidigal was not well enough to start. |

The answer isn’t Wesley either.
Thank the Lord that joker only has a 1 year deal.
He gives the saying ‘led boots’ new meaning.

Villa fans said the same when Gerrard was in charge.
Good managers spend hours and hours working with the players they have.
They improve their players and devise schemes to maximise the collective talent of their playing staff.
Good managers work hard.

Get pace and creativity around him, like Mmaee, and he will also have something to offer though? Campbell, Haks/JunHo, Vidigal behind either of them would get the best out of all of them you'd think? |

He’d certainly have a better chance than the formations AN is serving up that’s for sure. But just not convinced. He obviously can’t jump ala Vokes but get the ball to his feet maybe he’ll do better? |

Wesley is not the answer - he is beyond bad, he cant jump or control the ball on the floor. Dreadful signing.

This is what I don't understand about the club. The type of football we need to play to get the most out of our signings is the type of football we played under the 'good' Mark Hughes. JunHo is another Bojan type to play off a forward that can play a bit, with wide players that can cut in and score. We have exactly those ingredients in the squad now. The type of football Alex Nil is used to playing is knocking it into the channels for an Emil Riis type to chase after and grit out, and provide second phases for the midfield runners. We don't have the forwards for that and we no longer have the midfield for that apart from Daniel Johnson, who is crap and past it and Laurent who seems so disengaged these days. |

Took the words right out of my mouth. Playing Wes up front will produce exactly the same result. We’re playing the worst of both worlds, passing it around at the back aimlessly with lots of possession but giving the opposition so much time to get set and then hoofing it up to an isolated striker. It's tactically inept and sheer madness with the players we have got and Neil is wedded to a system which is totally outdated and unsuitable to the players he’s brought in. |

I keep saying it but there are decent footballers in this squad, we just have a dinosaur of a manager with absolutely zero coaching ability and zero tactical,acumen.
I think Maee and Bae are talented players but they are being asked to play roles to which they are totally unsuited.
The midfield is an absolute shambles and there is no evidence that there has been any meaningful work done on the training pitch in the week.

So what we need to fit our squad is: a BMX style manager who doesn't want to lump it to Crouchy is out of work so no compo who can easily commute to the club. (knows the club optional) Mmmm head scratcher init? |
