KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 DS is wedded to this formation. So Trez and AEG out wide and Jack wandering around Samatta? Good on paper but what happens when AEG and Trez get pinned back and Jack goes searching for the ball on the halfway line? I want to see us whip balls into the box for Samatta to get his head onto: shame AEG and Trez can’t deliver that killer cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough my scores app (FotMob) had it that way, then they changed it to 3 up front. Not sure if they got an update about our formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I dont have too much of a problem with El Ghazi and Trez starting. If they are going to win us a game. This is the oppo they are going to do it against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need the wingers to deliver for once tonight , long overdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can whip a few crosses in for Samatta to pounce on. Konsa is not a RB To be fair to Konsa he’s be excellent there these last two games. I think Targett is good but Konsa was better than him against Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't know what El Ghazi has to do to get dropped. El Ghazi is awful. Unfortunately he's our best wide option because Trezeguet is dog shit. Wide attackers are by our worst area. With one up top it's a massive reason we lack a threat going forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I just hope we push Jack forward, give him more of a free role, I don't want to see him tracking men back to the edge of our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly didn’t think konsa was excellent v Chelsea ; he was a weak link , was ok v Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been much better at right back than I thought he'd be - but he doesn't offer a great deal bombing on down the right flank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It limits so much that we can do in the final 3rd. They lack physical attributes and decision making. Such a hindrance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably irrational but Trezeguet is one of my least favourite villa players in a long time. He's absolute **** toilet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means if Jack does drop deeper there won’t be a gaping hole on the LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hopefully Davis on for either Trez or AEG is our plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
