Old Trinity Villan
Vital 1st Team Regular
Dear God as if i was not pissed off enough about yesterday. It will focus a few minds on the recruitment team. Time for a LOT of people to step up to the mark.
Bad luck. Hope it doesn't turn out like Kodjia's ankle.
Think for the moment we'll need to play both Nakamba and Douglas. I was expecting a midfielder in the transfer window, even more so now.
This.I think it's been proved that Douglas and Marvelous can't play together.
They are our very much shitter version of Gerrard and Lampard trying to play together for England
Agree that they're different, but I think he originally bought them both for that role sitting deep behind the other two, as shown in the first 10-12 games. Nakamba replaced Luiz and vice-versa. Nakamba more of a defence-first mindset for away games and Luiz to pass from that position when teams are sitting back....Different. I see Nakamba as a defensive midfielder and Douglas more as an all round midfielder. Depends on how the team is set up.

Hillarious really that Brucie is setting Newcastle up in a 5-4-1 and the Geordie faithfull are loving it.Now just a Doug invented the bicycle kick I invented the 2 holding midfielders trick about 30 years ago. Why because when my boys' side came up against the better sides in the league who were battering the lower sides 12 or 15 nil and the like. We used to get away with 2-0 therefore not demoralising 11-year-olds.
It worked a treat you just put your 2 most disciplined players there and tell them not to stick there and don't venture further than the HW line, basically, they were a back 2 with 4 sweepers.
Villa are currently slightly better but still the 3rd worst side in the league and we need to stop the goals against and the defeats and give ourselves a chance, going toe to toe is all very commendable and brave/ stupid but it's not getting us points and it's not going to save us from relegation
If McGinn comes back rested it could save our season. If rush him back too soon, book your tickets for villa vs Barnsley
Bump When's he back, I miss him.

He's probably done his ankle in again doing that.
