bannedfromHandV Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Which version of the ongoing Aston Villa themed circus will we see tonight then? I'm going for the one where we take a first half lead, do sweet fa for the next 60 minutes and concede at least one late goal resulting in either a draw or a defeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2016 We need to play 4-3-3. We haven't done it once yet but it's so obvious we need to do it. Gollini Bacuna - Elphick - Chester - Amavi Jedinak - Tish Gardner Ayew Kodja Rudy Play that team and we win. Ayew and Kodja will be able to roam in and out of their wide positions. The three in midfield will allow the full backs to push forward and put balls into Rudy Football ain't difficult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know chap, but I would sooner have him there as a type of play maker over Gardner or Westwood - baring in mind only until Jednak is fit again.

Milfner Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dunno if it's been mentioned but Bruce's Hull beat Reading 2-1 on both occasions last season. An omen? Nah, probably not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Gonna have to listen to this one on the old wireless, last time I did that was the Huddersfield game which was stressful to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 @thunderball What made you think that?

TheAuthority Posted October 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2016 Goaletinni (see what I did there?) Bacuna Baker Chester Amavi Adomah Westwood Jedinak Tish Lyden Kodjia I would pack the midfield to bring some stability to this shit show of a team - hopefully meaning we wouldn't be under the cosh for extended periods. Or have 4 1 4 1 with Jedinak just sitting in front the back four. The balance of the squad is horrible and the lack of midfield options a travesty considering how much we've spent in the last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm giving them extra responsibility to support the back 3 and play a secondary role as wide attackers. I rate them both a lot higher than our other wide options and I think it suits our strengths and what we have available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 If we are struggling for dynamism and drive from CM I would like to see Bacuna and Tshibola tried in a 2 man midfield with Grealish ahead of them in the creative role. I think it can work in a similar way that Bacuna and Gana worked vs Swansea last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 For the love of McGrath use a 3 man central midfield!!! It will mean that we use an individually inferior player, in place of one of our expensive strikers, but it doesn't matter. We simply must get the balance right and stop us being overrun in midfield. Honestly at the point where I don't care if it's Westy, Bacuna, Lyden, Gardner or someone from the U23, just play with 3 CM's in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
