How many times were they passed the ball by Brighton midfielders? lol They are still top 4 to be fair. Yeah, we could really do with a Bissouma and I think we all know that but the middle line here is massively relevant to Villa. We are so so often the architects of our own downfall its bordering on criminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly to how I troll @nick76 with Keinan Davis posts, @TRO with DCM posts, or @hippo with Gerrard posts for example? Banter? Or are you posting from his more serious account, which is tired of me harassing him? lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Yeeeaaa... Ginter's **** done. Absolutely done. Hope we don't touch him with a barge pole. At this point would rather we stick with rehabilitating Konsa back to form. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see us finishing 16th or 17th. The formation he wants to play is shit and will not work in the PL. He doesn't seem to realise. Signing players to try and fix it is moronic...but the CEO and possibly the director of football are going to "back him". I don't think it'll work and we'll sack him and be left with no wide players to attack with. Maybe it won't be as bad as I fear, but I know Newcastle, Brentford, probably throw Wolves in there and Brighton will all be buying players of more use than what we're ending up with. I feel incredibly disconnected from the club right now. Probably been this way for a long time really but with Smith and Grealish in there, the players felt much more in sync with the fans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way of creating a connection between team and fans imo is to play youth. Fans see their own youth prospects develop on the pitch, year on year. Spurs did it under Pochettino and Arsenal now under Arteta, and fans of those clubs say they’ve never felt more connected to the club then when that happened (still happens at Arsenal). The opposite would be ideal if a club wants disengaged fans. Have a huge turnover in the squad every year. Sign older players who fans associate with a number of other clubs. Give them short contracts so we don’t even get to know them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m inclined to agree with a lot of this. Not sure about the disconnect from the club though - I’m really enjoying being a Villa fan right now, especially after the last decade. Re. The formation. I agree, for the most part. It frustrates me how the two midfielders become make shift fullbacks when Cash and Digne bomb on and we give the opposition way too much space out wide. Not only that, the two No.10’s tend to tread on each other’s toes. I would much prefer us to play a 4-2-3-1 or a 3-4-2-1 - both systems require a defensive midfielder, probably two. We don’t have a single one. Unfortunately, almost all of our failures as a team stem from the fact we don’t have a defensive minded midfielder sitting in front of the back 4. Whilst I don’t like the formation and hope we change it, signing someone like Bissouma or Phillips should help at least. I have no idea what the Summer will bring but I have to back Gerrard and the club to get it right. We’re still reeling from what was an awful Summer ‘21 window, having failed to replace Grealish and instead, created a huge imbalance throughout the squad. I said at the start of the season we’ll finish around 13th and absolutely nothing convinces me won’t still do that. It’s a big Summer. We need to move at least 7-8 players on and bring in at least 3-4 players of sufficient quality to start for us. It’s going to be exciting, even if it is reckless!
