Talldarkandransome Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 After the recent shock events, we've now got the chance of a point. Danks & Mcphee in charge is it? Hmm maybe not then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentfordnylons Posted October 21, 2022 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2022 Looking forward to this on Sunday few early beers in town then off to one of my favourite stadiums where I’d take a draw now.Difficult to call as we are over performing with key players still missing and Villa under performing with some superb players.

Sulberto21 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 At least he has Dougie available. I think he needs to shut off the middle and play Dendoncker or Iroegbunam and Luiz together. Have Sanson as the driving force from the middle and then play Archer from the start. Buendia in his Norwich position on the right and then I don’t give a shit who else plays.

Tomaszk Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 4231. Luiz and Donk in front of defence. Buendia starts. Enjoy the win Danko. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be hilarious if he did play 4-2-3-1 and we did win considering largely every Villa fan thinks it's the best formation for the players we have. Yet Stevie couldn't see it.

Yet Stevie couldn't see it. It would immediately be something different and fairly easily implemented. 3421 would be best with the wingless squad we've ended up with. That's a tough one to jump to immediately when we've largely played a back 4 for the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 2 hours ago, srsmithusa said: Anybody know enough about Danks to take a guess what he'll do? Will he be likely to try a "same basic lineup and formation but try harder "approach? (that would be worst possible IMO) will he try 442, 451 instead? Drop McGinn. Dougie is unavailable, so what will he do to shore up a the defensive side of mid? Any informed guesses our there. I know some things I would try (Nakamba and Donker in the DCM post) with two wide and Ollie and Archer up front) but what i would try means nothing (i'de also be quick to change if it was a disaster) Starting Sanson, Guilbert, Nakamba, Chambers and Archer would give him points from fans but could backfire. Are they even match fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Luiz red was overturned so. I would play him. But not in DCM. I have always thought he should be played farther forward. The top a diamond ideally. But no idea how to do that with two DCM which I think we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I really think if I came in I’d just play 4-2-3-1 and win loads of games, seems very obvious frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'll forgive him if he plays 4-2-3-1. It's clearly the formation that suits our players best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
