Bazmonkey Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Being saying 4231 is our formation for years Interesting to see how they adapt to the change and how the the attacking 3 work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Just now, CVByrne said: It's really a very big tweak though. Full backs and midfielders operating very differently in this set up. That's what I mean about it only looking like a small tweak He hasn't outlandishly overhauled the starting 11 but at the same time I'm hoping it has a big impact But to bed the idea that all these players are shit and we're doomed unless we get in an experienced head and 6 new players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Think we are capable of getting a result with that lineup. Breathe of fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego/stubbornness? Both for me. O'Neill Was the same Nobody will actually fault you if you admit you made a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I'd have had JJ instead of Watkins but overall, a decent line up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2022 It is remarkable that that one tweak literally reinvigorates that side. On paper at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn’t great as Ings can’t really play without a partner. I reckon he can. He reminds me of an old type CF get the ball from the wings to the middle amd he will put it away.

Be really interesting to see how Bailey and Buendia play. Both have wanted to play in this system for a while. Their time to shine. In pre season when we were playing United, Buendia and bailey were linking up well down the right and through the middle. No shock that we haven’t seen it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 2 minutes ago, Lord Willard said: Buendia and Ings are usually on the same wavelength. Exciting Yeah was just about to say, put our two quick players out wide in Watkins and Bailey and have Buendia behind Ings as they're on same wavelenght. As I said in the tactics thread. Buendia will drop deep to pick up the ball, turn and have 3 players ahead of him, he'll have options out wide or centrally. I think Luiz might run past him too so there's movement and options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Glad to see McGinn not in the starting eleven, hopefully he stays on the bench until Jan when we hopefully can get a decent fee for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
