ender4 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 10 hours ago, Monkeypuzzle said: There are a lot of comments from people claiming that the squad is too light and we need to make more signings. Is it actually? It feels like we have brought in players who will actually play and sold players who never actually played. Does anyone have the stats on who actually played under Emery last season to compare to the squad we have now? I agree. I don’t think we’ve actually lost any depth with the leavers leaving. In many ways we’ve added depth because the alternate players can fill in at almost the same level as the first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Something I've really noticed is how if we have any sort of lead our players get really really greedy and start taking like Hollywood shots that's you'd expect at 5-0. Hopefully this can get kicked out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I liked the formation today, thought it was much better suited to Digne and Cash's strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted August 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2023 I really like that our goals are coming from all parts of the team, we have scored 13 goals in 4 games with and 7 different goalscorers so far It means if teams cut out Watkins we still have a lot of goals to go around 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Very impressed also with how, after being on -4 goal difference after the Newcastle game, we've already got to a GD of +2 just 2 games later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three CBs with Konsa in RB. 3 2 5 in possession. McGinn and Diaby in those two 10 roles are very good. Watkins is playing very well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the formation changed at all. We simply played Cash where we normally play Bailey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) The thing I liked about todays game is that we won in a different way with a different formation. We just sat back and gave Burnley nothing then we blasted them with insane counters Good to see we are not a one trick pony Edited August 27, 2023 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 This one wasn’t bad either Unai, you legend… never even imagined seeing a Villa side play such good football… The days of parking the bus and trying to “catch ‘em on the counter” or hoofball dross are well and truly behind us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It does look like we may have a slightly deeper defensive line post Newcastle? Obviously the Mings injury will be a big factor in that as we lose a lot of recovery pace without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
