MaVilla Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) cant figure out how they are lining up, a type of 343/352?.......4231? Not sure who in their first 11 is at right back?, they have a debutant 19 year old CD (Colwill), alongside Dunk, Estupinan is a LB, but maybe he is left of a back 3 with Dunk/Colwill? BBC has Gross at RB, but hes a central midfielder? Edited November 13, 2022 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 More likely pass us to death and a case of holding out. Make our set plays count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pre match build up for Brighton and Aston Villa are non existent. I hope that Amazon or BT knock them off What are they actually talking about, it's not like Fulham-Man. United later is some blockbuster stop the nation game later like say Liverpool-Man. City. Have they got Souness in and he's droning on about how amazing Ronaldo still is?!

It's certainly not our strongest - but I don't think there's much else we can do - with Coutinho, Watkins and Bailey all missing we don't have many options - perhaps we could have played five at the back or put Dendoncker or Sanson in for McGinn, but ten of these pretty much pick themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC has Gross at RB, but hes a central midfielder? Solly March plays that role for them but he's normally a RWB, assume they're playing a back 4 today. Until we bring Bailey on we haven't really got anyone in the team who can actually test out their fullbacks.

sne Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Gonna be interesting to see who wins the battle on the flanks. We seem to try and be patient in building from the back and then having mainly Digne as the go-to outlet in bringing the ball forward. Brighton will try and get it wide to their wingers under Di Zerbi and they are the ones who are the main outlet when bringing it forward. Hopefully we win this battle.

PieFacE Posted November 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2022 Watkins is a huge loss and without Bailey we don't have much pace. Going to be a tough game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2022 Emery does have a reputation for hooking players if they aren’t working… so even if McGinn starts, if he isn’t working he might even come off before half time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
