duke313 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Just had a look at some of his setups in his first season with Arsenal, the last 5 games of the 18/19 season: Valencia: 3412 Brighton: 4312 Valencia: 3412 Burnley: 4231 Chelsea: 3412 Seems to change it quite a bit depending on the opposition, and often went 3 at the back despite it being said he was mainly 4231 with Arsenal.

Popular Post Jas10 Posted October 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) It’s a big fat YES from me… We really are a strange lot aren’t we? Turning our noses up at top players and managers and often rating shite ones… like Sean f***ing Dyche! I find it difficult to pay too much credence to messi11’s opinions too, especially after the Bentancur debacle (would have loved him here!). But he does come out with some good and hilarious stuff at time, very back and forth with his views though We often give the impression we don’t have much of a clue what we’re talking about at times… Maybe we forget where we are “at” and how little we have really achieved or how rarely we have shown any tangible ambition or had major success… the best we have done since getting promoted is an 11th placed finish… otherwise we’ve been languishing or struggling to even stay afloat in the division. This would be a major coup and opportunity for us… if we can get into Europe and start competing for trophies, I’m sure we’d all be more than delighted I, for one, am glad to see that we are actually showing some intent as a club now because the last appointment was a huge mistake and pathetic gamble that turned out to be a disaster… we haven’t had many good managers to be frank… the best one for a while was Deano and he wasn’t exactly a big name… It’s time to make strides… Edited October 24, 2022 by Jas10 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteExile Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Don't think too many have rated Dyche, in fairness. More just using as an extreme version of how the Villa can let you down. As an aside: For a mad moment yesterday I wondered if the massive upturn in form was because the players were threatened with Dyche or similar. I'd run through brick walls as well, to avoid that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
