I was thinking 4-1-2-1-2 tbh. I never like trying to guess what formation we’re playing… it’s frustrating. Edited August 13, 2022 by MCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Quietly confident looking at the respective XI’s … Not one Everton player I’d swop. 2-0 Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ and Mcginn does not work Oh I’m not disagreeing with you on the midfield. I’m absolutely baffled how we haven’t replaced McGinn, who is now apparently good enough to captain a team aiming for Top 8 in the Premier League.

Keyblade Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Very harsh on Leon I think. I'd play him up top with one of the strikers if we were insistent on this formation. One of the few players to come out of last Saturday with any credit. Our best player in preseason. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We may win this. The remaining problem is Ramsey and Mc Ginn starting. Other than that it’s fine. Real problem - SG is not Potter or even Howe. He is far from. Whatever good happens will only be miracles from the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 wow, reverting back to the "trusted" 4312, i would say im surprised but im not. I think this is evidence that Gerrard just doesnt know what he is doing, or a sign of desperation to "score goals yeahhh course", even though the system doesnt actually work well to control the ball or control possession. 4312....who needs to control the middle of the pitch. That midfield will concede control and possession. Buendia........ Ramsey keeps his spot after being pulled at half time in the previous game. McGinn, El Capitan, need i say more. Luiz not given a chance. not trying 4231 with Couts, Bailey and Buendia (prob our best 3 attacking players) Even if we win today, i just feel now, that Gerrard doesnt know what he is doing, or is choosing to die on a hill doing the same thing over and over. Im really on the verge of being done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! A lineup can’t really be awful before a game… if it doesn’t work as some suspect then it’s a bad lineup, but surely not before the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He doesn't know what he's doing does he. You can't keep swapping the formation and players about every week hoping to stumble onto a good thing. Terrible management and another reason why the risk wasn't worth taking.

TheMightyVillans Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Ramsey and McGinn both starting is worse than Ings and Watkins starting together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Ings and Watkins with Coutinho behind. Our only formation that poses an attacking threat. Mings back is key too. Only one who can organise our defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Everton defence looks solid. Forgot they had Tarwoski There team doesn’t look as bad as I thought it was. Edited August 13, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I do at least feel more confident with the two strikers that we might score a couple, even if they aren't great at linking up. C'mon Villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
