The issue is our system doesn’t depend on that. Next season I guess we’ll use different formations so he’ll still be helpful. Williams is different, he’s better while play on the right. You can argue that he's better on the left than the right, but that's not where he prefers playing. He has always been capable of playing on both and has always preferred the right. See this interview with him when he was in the Bundesliga: Quote I've always said my best position is on the right-hand side. I feel really happy out on the right. And when a player feels happy, he can make a lot happen. I think I can leave the defenders with more to think about. I have more options to go to the left or the right, so I think it's better for me. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/leon-bailey-10-things-on-bayer-leverkusen-s-jamaica-winger-usain-bolt-5302 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He prefers playing on the right and cutting in. He’s just not very good at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of Nakamba though isn't it and he was deemed not good enough for us or top flight football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Gonçalves and Chukwueze add goals to this Villa team. Get them in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 So… Goncalves Watkins Williams Ramsey Luiz Kamara With Tielemans and McGinn competing/rotation in midfield? Oof. If not Williams, maybe Kang-in or Chukwueze? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're probably looking at someone who starts wide, cuts in and threatens the goal rather than an out and out wide player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ramsey / McGinn playing when we play away against Top 8 and we play something closer to a 4-4-2 but with Ramsey / McGinn having a slightly more free role.

Yeah it’s hard to call really, how great is it to have that amount of strength and competition though? It’s a tough call in terms of who to drop or have on the bench really. Depends on fitness, performance levels and how they suit the system for that particular game. You wouldn’t really get much of a drop off and each player offers something different, and we can keep them fresh, avoid burnout - suits Unai and how he can differ our approach depending on the opposition… Edited June 11, 2023 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it. I mean my suggestion above has us bringing Ramsey and McGinn on after 65 minutes - which is just incredible strength. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether he'd be the AM or the 10. But in a 4-3-3 he'd be in the front three not the middle three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
