Think it's our version of the "Pirlo role" It's a bit flawed so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get us used to playing how we would against better opposition. Just because we aren't playing championship clubs, doesn't mean we shouldn't practice like we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 18, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2017 We're going to really struggle this year. Simple passes, we're just inept., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I like looking at the hanging green wire when Walsall are attacking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand people say it's not about the result on the other hand people moan about how we set up against weaker opposition.

But you can also achieve quite a lot by being disciplined, well drilled, pressing the opposition, moving off the ball, playing in triangles and having a game plan of how to defend and score against your opposition.

sne Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Once again against a much poorer side their passing tempo and movement on and off the ball is better than ours. Those are training ground issues. Been an issue at Villa for ages. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Gabby always kills the momentum by turning his back to goal with the ball and passing it backwards or out to the wing. It hurts every time. He has no footballing brain and no skill to take on the defender. Edited July 18, 2017 by LxYoungAVFC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Id like to see us mix it up and prehaps try doing nothing and having no plan but maybe in a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
