Maybe sign another winger? It’s not like we’re inundated with replacements out wide is it? hopefully his return to the left wing will help his form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Our wide options are pathetic, but we already knew that. Hopefully we can whip a few crosses in for Samatta to pounce on. Konsa is not a RB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Can we just please give Samatta some chances in front of goal tonight, I'd actually like to see what he's all about. Apart from a couple headers we've given him basically nothing Edited June 24, 2020 by Farlz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we went 5-2-1-2 with that, we'd need either Elmo or Guilbert as the right wing back. If we went 4-3-1-2 we'd need both full backs to be up the field almost all the time - I don't think Konsa can do that. That said, I'm not sure Smith would risk it even if Guilbert were fit.

Genie Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 If we get beat, we get beat, but it at least looks like we’re going to have a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 HERE WE GO. Last chance saloon for me. I expect 3 points and a strong performance. Grealish through the middle is what I really wanted and he's delivered. Let's go Villa. 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I wonder if it’s more of a 4-4-1-1 with jack behind Samatta and Trezeguet and El Ghazi out wide in a midfield 4? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two ineffective wingers who rarely track back - should have gone grealish behind samatta and Davis and nakamba in front of back 4 - rather Elmo at right back too - this looks a poor side who will roll over too easily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) No Hourihane at least, but can’t believe Hause remains/and Konsa at RB again. At least Jack is central. No surprise Deano bottled playing two up top. Anyway, lose this and we’re down. Edited June 24, 2020 by Cizzler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2020 As shit as I think Trez and El ghazi are, I think the lineup kinda makes sense as long as it's those two wide and Jack central. We need to get jack involved more, and if the one big striker up top is ever going to work we need two genuine wingers feeding him. I'm still massively worried about this though 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 So we've basically moved our only creative player out of a position where he has been getting goals and assists and it's since playing in that position that has earned him his current repution as one of the best performers in the league, into a position where earlier in the season his performances weren't anywhere near as good and he was hardly getting any goals or assists, and it was being questioned if he was even as good as people thought. This clamour to play him in midfield doesn't make sense to me, and not sure if it's a good sign that Smith has gone along with it, seems a case of trying anything to see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
