Delphinho123 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Why did we even play Martinez against Hibs. He’s the one player we can’t afford to lose. Seems daft to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing like everyone else, but my guess is that we're going to be 5-3-2 in defence, 3-4-3 in transition, and 3-2-5 in attack, with Cash and Digne moving between the lines as necessary and McGinn falling back into midfield when in defence... Defence: Cash - Konsa - Diego - Pau - Digne Kamara - Doug - McGinn Diaby - Watkins Transition: Konsa - Diego - Pau Cash - Kamara - Doug - Digne Diaby - Watkins - McGinn Attack: Konsa - Diego - Pau Kamara - Doug Cash - Diaby - Watkins - McGinn - Digne I'm curious if he's just experimenting or if this is a tactical response to something he sees in Burnley. I'm thinking the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2023 Fact is Emery is happy with Olsen as our keeper A lot of nonsense on here. Do people really believe Emery is SO worried about Olsen playing that he's changed the whole system just to compensate for him? If he really really felt that way there is zero chance he would not have brought in a new keeper. We've played with 5 at the back in pre season. It's obviously a formation Emery sees working for certain apponents and it seems Burnley is one of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this narrative of poor Olsen and all the pressure on his shoulders and aren't Villa fans terribly quick to turn etc If you want to play Premier league football, and what's more you want to play for Aston Villa, expect it. Expectations are high and they should be. If he **** up, that's on him, not the supporters. We've seen it, atleast online. It is what it is, but it's self-harming.

OutByEaster? Posted August 27, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2023 The line up on Thursday will be interesting - a whole pile of injuries and some of the fringe players gone - will he be forced to play this group again, or go right down into the very young players for depth? We could really do with getting through this game with no more injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blessing is this is away and not VP. If Olsen pulls off a good game, I'll hand it to him: he's got some nerves. Again, don't get VT and social media keyboard warriors confused with real life at Villa Park. At an actual match he'd get as much backing as any other reserve player getting a start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he certainly seems happy with him, there have been no keeper links and he's given him opportunities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
