maqroll Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 With Praet looking a real possibility, and Gil looking like hes staking a real claim in Portugal, we would seem to have a very strong midfield with good depth. Delph Gueye Grealish Sinclair Gil NZogbia Westwood Sanchez Gardner Cole Some of these might be sold or loanec, but its gonna be hard to keep them all happy... Good problem to have i guess Praet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl the Pearl Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I'd like to see Gil and Grealish playing behind the striker with Fabian, Westy and Gueye behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 So are people confident that we really want Praet? Wasn't it just paper talk that he was offered to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 In fact if we play wing backs it might be ----Richards-------CB-------------CB Bacuna-------------------------------Amavi -------Gueye----Praet------Delph ----------Benteke-------A N Other Which is a strong looking side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_Villaman84 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I think it is will more likely 4-3-3 (4-3-2-1) ----------------Guzan-------------- Richards--Okore--Clark--Amavi --------------Westwood---------- (or Sanchez) ------Gueye------------Delph---- --------Gill---------Grealish---- ------------Benteke--------- Or (new striker if Benteke sold) or..

(or Praet replace Gill) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5-3-2 (sherwood plan this season) ----------------Guzan----------------- -----Okore---Richards---Clark---- Baunca--------------------------------Amavi -----------Gueye-----------Delph------ ---------------------Praet---------------- (or Grealish) -------------Benteke-------Gabby------ (or 2 new striker if Benteke sold) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Midfield it is more plenty cover, it is good business.

VillaChris Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Delph Gueye Westwood Sanchez Praet Gardner? Grealish New signing Gil Sinclair/N'zogbia How I see it really. We will need depth playing 3 in there plus attacking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Have I missed something..did we announce Praet? Theres no rumours on twitter even! Just getting a bit carried away but his name has been linked for a few weeks like Amavi has. A key thing to remember here is we need far more goals from midfield with Benteke probably leaving. Our midfield hardly contributes any goals throughout the season so I still think we need to sign one more, an attacking player who can get in the box on a regular basis. Praet could be that player.

Shomin Geki Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The link between defence and attack is my concern. Under Lambert players seemed uncomfortable with what exactly their roles were, or did know but were smart enough to realise it wouldn't work. Cognitive dissonance, and all that. Sherwood (and pals) appear to be working far more to the idea of a system from which we pick the best players in our squad. This is good. But so far I still see a big problem regarding how we build attacks from the back, and essentially our flexibility when switching from defence to attack, and vice versa. This to me is the essential quandary of the high tempo modern game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 We're fairly strong but pretty narrow here. Our best attacking players are Grealish and Gil, but both are better off central as neither are that pacey and are creative types. I trust Sinclair on the wing and I think that Bacuna can do a job there too but other than that, not convinced. Really have no how Sherwood will have us lined up next season.
