TheMelvillan Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 His fight and determination to wriggle between two men to get the ball to buendia for the third was brutal he must be a nightmare to play against 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 On 14/06/2021 at 20:04, Monkeypuzzle said: I felt McGinn played far better this season when given leave to play further forward, such as at Spurs in the penultimate game. This takes advantage of his terrier like chasing and closing down of defenders much more than when he played in a deeper role and seemed more restricted. How do people feel about potentially playing him between Grealish and Buendia next season if we play a 4-2-3-1 formation? He does a lot of running and has always played better for us in a more attacking role in my opinion. Either that or have Sanson and him both given the chance to make forward runs from midfield with Douglas Luiz or Nakamba sitting in a deeper holding role behind them? Obviously any new signings might change things but as it is at present I quite like seeing him play in one of the two formations below. I don't think we should be looking to replace such a talented player because his form dipped a bit when played out of position for most of the year. ......................Watkins Grealish........McGinn.......Buendia ...........Douglas.....Nakamba Targett....Mings......Konsa.....Cash ......................Martinez Or my preferred formation with our current players Grealish...........Watkins.............Buendia .............Sanson............McGinn ......................Douglas Luiz Targett......Mings.........Konsa......Cash .........................Martinez How do people feel about this slightly more advanced role for him, without simply saying drop him or buy someone else? First post on here so please be kind My first ever post on Villa Talk. I think I might have been on to something back then! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pound for Pound there arent many stronger in the league footballing wise. His way of running gives him a low centre of gravity and his legs are so poweful. He is built like a rugby player rather than the ripped slimish build that footballers tend to have these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett was on the receiving end of his foraging for the 3rd goal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 A human wrecking ball. Smashed Targett out of his way for the third goal. Would love to see him play ice hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
