I think an attacking full back on one side and a defensive one on the other is pretty much Emery's hallmark at this stage. I think the big signing this summer will be a right winger. Whoever plays at right back will be defensive minded as opposed to a right sided version of Moreno. I was about to say that. It seems that it is one side or the other when going forward..... I guess a better question is, does he want a full back with the same attributes on the right hand side? So one goes forward the other tucks in? Personally I have no idea.

Would be good if they could to mix it up a bit maybe but generally it's attacking LB defensive RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't both go forward under the system I understand that, but we could vary which of the two goes forward if they both had a similar skillset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long term, as other teams figure out our tactics, he may want the option to play differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All managers will know how we want to play. Emery sets us up with 5 in the midfield so if they focus on defending the side our full back attacks it will leave more space for our right sided attacking player. A position where I think we will spend very big this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 So given that he is one of our best attacking outlets do we think he will get doubled up on like Jack did? If I were about to play us, I would definitely try and target him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him arriving from deep is crucial to how effective he is. Plus his super positive, aggressive running. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Did anybody see Sky sport social? I caught the end and they had a team of season excluding Arsenal and City and it looked like a Villa player at left back. Or was it somebody else ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second striker acts as the width on the right and Moreno bombs on to add the width on the left. This allows the right midfielder to play a little more centrally and the right back to form a 3 man defensive unit so we don’t get done on transition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to double up on full backs though isn’t it, as they’re constantly marauding up and down the wing, that’s probably why they have become so important in the modern game. Can certainly see teams dropping deeper on that side though but as others have said it’s for us to come up with ways to tactically outwit the opponents in other areas of the pitch instead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take a brave kamikaze manager to do that Pity we arent playing Chelsea soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
