Popular Post Farlz Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 Honestly, this Winter WC is a perfect opportunity for us. We’re gonna have 2-4 players go max (Emi, Cash maybe Digne/Kamara) so he’ll have most the squad available for the break to really put his ideas across. I’d have preferred we made this change months ago for our easy run of games but this will do. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 For the first time in a long time, it felt like we had a manager today who knew exactly what he was doing. Game management was great. Early days but the difference he's made in just 1 week was great to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a perfect chance to beat them, 7500 Villa fans making a racket and coached players working to a plan. Could be a night to remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RadioTom Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 I don’t post here often, I just lurk in the background like a little psycho ex. But. How refreshing to have a manager who tweaks the tactics based on what the opposition are doing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Didn't stop on the touchline. Out of his seat for practically the entire match, encouraging and instructing. The contrast is as stark as it is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't watch it before - watch it now. Almost every part of the analysis was how we played today. The CBs pushing wide to create triangles, giving the CMs space to play killer balls through for the attacking midfielders to drive forward. To the lines being 4-4-2 in defence (with Bailey usually a bit higher up alongside Ollie) and then the shuffling of players around once we got the ball. The LB playing more attacking, with the RB slightly more defensive. I think this type of formation is going to really play to the strengths of many of our players and minimise some of our weaknesses. I just hope that if Plan A isn't working they can adapt to Plan B rather than reverting to the "kick and chase" of the last 24 months. If so then we could still salvage something out of this season. I thought we were a couple of players short of a top 10 finish this season - but I think that Kamara, Luiz and Ramsay could be brilliant under this system (and it probably suits Sanson too). Although Ollie was very good today I'm still not convinced his first touch is good enough - but he definitely did more than enough to own the starting berth again. Maybe Unai is the man to turn him into the CF we need. And for everyone who has been moaning about Digne - today showed why he was such a good signing. I think he's going to prove a lot of people wrong in the coming weeks / months. Absolutely immense in defence and attack today. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UpTheVilla26 Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Just watched his post match interview. It might be the fact I've sunk 5 pints and a double barcardi, but I was nearly in tears. He is a MANAGER, he is a COACH and I'm here to lap every second of it up Edited November 6, 2022 by UpTheVilla26 Drunk and can't spell 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
