It feels like every game we have one or two deep free kicks/corners where he just drifts alone at the back with no one marking it and we've gotten a few goals from that. Will teams eventually figure it out?
I do have to say that I've seen several reviews of "who won" the transfer window and we were mentioned a fair bit (ESPN FC guys, and NBC sports over here)
does Alan McInally comment on Villa games over there? think I read that he wasn't able to for reasons...
we had Andy Townsend on the broadcast here stateside and ehhhhhh
yup. I believe it was from FIFA/IFAB and the PL was one of the last major leagues to adopt the "new" handball rules. It was already in affect in most of the other 'major' leagues (Spain, France, Germany, Italy etc) iirc a few years ago.
not sure that he'd improve them for the amount that they would be paying, considering they've already signed 3 other fullbacks (who can also play on the wing) this transfer window.
depending on if/who else we get in. I would either look to go with Trez and Traore as wingers and drop Grealish into a midfield 3 or a straight swap Nakamba in for CH.
think that's a bit hopeful mate. He's been very good so far but there's an embarrassment of riches of English right backs atm so I'd think he would be down the order. though he could be moved to midfield (but we could say that about TAA
had a pretty good game, but like others have said I wouldn't be starting him vs Liverpool. Just don't think he has the ability to withstand a high press like they do
its pretty interesting, he generally tucks closer to the center backs than most other full backs. But then I also remember that Taylor does that as well — is it a smith tactic?
