Even his work rate seems a bit laboured. Ings or Watkins. Either. Just can't play this tragic formation at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just now, Talldarkandransome said: Seem a bit disjointed, hate the international breaks, especially now we have quite a few players away each time. Adama looked dangerous for some of that half then disappeared, then came back. Him disappearing coincided with our best spell of play. Buendia not settling yet and no idea what's happened to Watkins. Totally different player to last season Cash,Luiz and Konsa good so far, McGinn hit and miss, either good or giving the ball away. Watkins is a victim of the formation. The width beside him this season created space through the middle, but he could also run the channels to get support off the wingers. Now he plays Vs narrow defences with very little support.

Which of our 3 CB's are good enough to play ball.? I really don't like it when McGinn and Luiz are playing well they keep getting by-passed by a scumchester United employee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be going 4 3 3 at home and need Bailey, Buendia and Traore in playing behind Watkins or Ings Yes I hate the 3-5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Tuanzebe off for Sanson would be a smart move. Hopefully smith changes things quickly and doesn’t wait until the 80th minute again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 We’d have moved away from 352 if Bailey and Bert weren’t crocked 24/7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I’d like to see Philogene-Bidace on second half. Hope Sanson gets on too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 we have no outlet on the left, Targett is playing well but rarely gets ahead of the halfway line, Watkins just gets crowded out quickly by three players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 We are dominant though just feel like we can kill them off if we get more ball to the midfield 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like in attack we're kind of going 442 with Cash at RM, Konsa and Targett as orthodox full backs. Hard to say who is then LM, though, and we look really unbalanced.

AVTuco Posted October 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2021 I'd get Young on for Targett to deliver some decent crosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
