    Couple of us are all saying the same thing. The 3-5-2 puts so much pressure on Cash to produce from an offensive standpoint. Probably why the reason he wasn't able to finish the Wolves game. It's a nice formation for a short run of games but we don't have the personnel for much more than that.
  2. Rightdm00
    I probably shouldn't have tossed both our fullbacks together. Cash has the ability and athleticism. He just needs more time at the position given his recent conversion. Targett will never be it though. He's only a fullback, nothing more. If we want to continue with this formation then we have to bring in an actual wingback on the left.

    I've banged this drum before but performance inconsistency is a huge trait of young players. We have the third youngest squad in the Prem. This is something that will occur from time to time and won't change unless we decide to radically alter our recruitment strategy. We have seen consistency from Dean before. In the championship we had a much older, more experienced squad and they churned out 10 wins in a row.

    Just did a rewatch. The amount of chances that fell to Cash was maddening. Just like in the previous games the gilt edge chances that fell to Targett. I love our fullbacks defensive qualities but neither of them is wingback and each game we play with the 3-5-2 it becomes more obvious. The sooner we get our wingers healthy and switch to a back 4 the better.

    A contingent of Villa fans on here and in social media were adamant over the summer that Luiz was holding us back. Now he is one one of our top performers. I mention this because we have a host of young, inexperienced players like Luiz in our squad that you have to have patience with. I fully agree though, we desperately need him to sign that new deal or we will have to reluctantly sell this summer.

    3rd youngest team in the PL. Then you look at some of our older players like Mings and realize they haven't played that many games at a top level either. Sadly I think we won't be able to shake some of these youthful mistakes until we decide to bring in some older, more experienced heads.

    Was great in a midfield role. As soon as we have 2 healthy wingers let's give the 4-2-3-1 a go.

    Ings is a better striker and we lost the best chance creator in the Prem over the summer. The front office probably assumed we would get less chances per game and needed someone who had a better conversion rate.

    3 years on the job this weekend. I can still remember being bored to tears watching us under Bruce before his replacement. No matter what happens in the future he has given us a club to be proud of again. Thank you Dean.

    Doubt it. Who grows up wanting to be a human size version of a UPS barcode?

    One positive to come from this will be that all the Top 6 will push desperately for a strict, enforceable salary/transfer cap. No way are they going to let Newcastle just waltz in and steal a CL spot without a fight. Villa is already built well for when that gets enacted. The key to winning under strict salary limits is to invest heavily in youth since their first couple of contracts will always be significantly less than an equally talented vet. Our youth setup has to be one of the best in the PL right now. UTV!

    Just sucks Bruce is gonna get fired now. Dean is going to lose his punching bag.
  13. Rightdm00
    I think it's mostly on him. That transfer fee must be like a ton of lead on his shoulders. You look at the run Jesus made for City's goal vs Liverpool or the Silva run where he got cut down by Milner. In both instances they took on multiple Liverpool players. I really doubt Pep is telling less skilled dribblers to attack while telling Jack to play it ultra conservative. If it keeps going like this for the rest of the season, City may have to pay another £50 million for Dean and make him Jack's personal coach. So far he is the only manager that has been able to get consistent high level play from Jack.

    Why does it have to work to justify both of them in the squad. Are we not allowed to have depth at striker.
  15. Rightdm00
    Seems extremely short sighted. We could just try a different formation instead of selling our top scorer from last season.
  16. Rightdm00
    Pretty sure he is aiming higher than that. At least I hope so.
  17. Rightdm00
    Really isnt that much in the scheme of things. Not for Top 6 and any hope of Europe. The Top 6 spend that every 3 years on transfers/wages and they already had established Prem teams when we arrived from the Championship after finishing 5th.

    So many average people in the world but God forbid a footballer have an average performance

    The Watkins goal vs Spurs was the first one the 3-5-2 has produced from the first 11 picked by the manager to start the game. Every other goal has come after Dean has made multiple changes to shape and personnel. We just don't have the players to use it effectively over anything more than a small run of games. Targett will never be a wing back. Lost count of how many attacks he wasted because if he can't blast a low/hard cross through the box he has no plan "B". Hopefully after the international break we return with some version of a 4-3-3 .
  20. Rightdm00
    My local club uses that exact formation with a high press. Only problem is with only 3 subs I don't know how you maintain that intensity for 90 minutes. 4-2-3-1 is the choice for me as well. Buendia, Bailey, and Bertrand is a dream for any striker they are supporting.
  21. Rightdm00
    If Bailey is fit we have to go 4-3-3. As many have mentioned Targett is very poor as a wingback. He needs a winger/inside forward to overlap with. Leaving him out wide by himself leads to poor crosses and lost possession.
  22. Rightdm00
    You miss the Brentford game? He was a slip away from an assist in the United game as well. He looked fine to me. Just couldn't get on the ball today because our CBs kept hoofing it OB.
  23. Rightdm00
    Spurs were equally poor. They have a world class forward with Son though. He carved us open multiple times in the 2nd half.
  24. Rightdm00
    Our match winner was injured, theirs won it. Those are the breaks sometimes.

    Not the greatest game. Got beat over the top twice in the 2nd half. Real school boy error type stuff.
