OutByEaster? Posted May 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2022 I hope Chambers isn't playing DM - we've got three better options in that position. I quite like the look of us as a 3-4-1-2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Given the bad luck with injuries this season probably doesn’t want to risk Nakamba, Buendia starts so Im guesses plenty are happy about that? Or is it better to just focus on the negatives and moan that Sanson isn’t playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Happy to see Buendia start and Chambers as a holding midfielder could be interesting. Come on villa. For all that Everton going down is funny I want us to clearing in the woods these guys. Twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2022 I'm not seeing the desire for Nakamba to be starting games - I'd start Iroegbunam over him every time and I don't think it's massively unfair that Iroegbunam is on the bench. The Beeb have us down as three at the back, nt sure if that counts for anything. As a three at the back system, this looks balanced and workable - we can sit and counter and we can keep the ball. With Chambers in midfield it looks frankly a bit silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd imagine Nakamba is a better option, but we don't know if he's match sharp, and it seems a good opportunity to see if Chambers can do the job. If that's where he's playing, I like it.

With the right personnel it's not negative and it's not 5 at the back, see Chelsea and Spurs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) what is this, 3421/3412....... or is this 433 with Chambers as the 6, and McGinn/Luiz as the 8s? Edited May 7, 2022 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The BBC are showing it like this: The 2-1 at the front seems worth a try. We have looked effective at times with Watkins as front man and Ings playing slightly deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Cornet for them usually occupies a position between the midfield and striker, I imagine Chambers has been selected specifically to mark him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, Luiz is our best number six, for me Iroegbunam is better than Nakamba - and all three are better in midfield than Chambers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Yes more likely a back three than a back five.Its an interesting change up and we need to see Buendia start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't want wingers then 3 at the back at least gives us proper width. Bit strange to switch at this point in the season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Where the hell is the creativity coming from? Ings and watkins doesn't work and only emi can create anything. A negative team big defeat coming i think 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
