Brumstopdogs Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Frustrating to still see 5 at the back - wish we'd change it up and get some proper width in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Boring 5 at the back again, again trying to accommodate Ings and Watkins, again playing Tuanzebe. I don't think Smiffy will ever change from this boring formation, he's obsessed with it whether we or lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just why!!!! His stubbornness to change at times is frustrating. If we win I will humbly apologise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Very disappointing. It just hasn’t worked at all apart from against united. Everton we blitzed them but it wasn’t working well before Bailey came on. We are playing an average cb at the expense of a more attacking player. Relying on Cash and Target as the creative outlets down the flank is concerning. We looked very very good for much of last season with 433. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 They will totally dominate the middle of the park with those selections. It’s looking likely to be a long evening. Lots of last ditch defending, isolated strikers and long balls straight to the Arsenal defence coming up! I suspect a regulation 2-0 home victory incoming!

Peter Griffin Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 When I read the team I was excited when the name after the 4 defenders was Luiz, But the slipped Targett's name in down the list and pulled the optimism away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 This exact setup was perfectly fine against Wolves prior to that collapse. What's the problem? Watkins is never ever going to play wide so while Bailey isn't 100% just yet why bother changing formation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 So those on the bench aren't fit enough to start Disappointing but is what it is If this line up is still here next week I'll be concerned Tuanzebe has to be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I thought 532 was a cunning tactic to be pulled out sparingly, not our entire season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
