bannedfromHandV Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 They’ve obviously set up much differently and we’re struggling to thread the passes through them, Bailey in particular. If the same pattern continues we’re going to get one right, sloppy end to the half though so let’s see how we restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be better if we reach the latter stages but right now it just have that early round carabao cup feel about it. thats bullshit though its a competition that we can realistically win and should be trying to win we havent won a thing in 30 years, and we wont be winning an english competition any time soon, its not beneath us, its our best chance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galway Lion Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Problem with playing high line is linesmen are not giving obvious initial offsides and let play develop. Villa have to win ball back and progress play from deep. Or play is allowed to develop giving them momentum. Put the effin flag up! Or have these rule changes caused this ridiculous situation?

Hobsons Choice Posted November 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2023 In fairness on a few occasions I think we've deliberately rejected risky but potentially fruitful passing options for the sake of ball retention. I'm thinking specifically of Lenglet stepping up, when he could have tried a through ball to Ollie who was on the CBs shoulder, but instead checked back and went with an easy ball. Now it could be that certain players have been bottling the risky option, but I doubt it. I think it's more likely that they've been asked to hold onto the ball, and limit risk. It's a trait of continental football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about winning and changing the mentality. We gotta start somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
