Nah but there are certain situations where it's obvious it's not going to work, and it goes as expected. I obviously get playing out etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 3 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3 Once again we just seem unable to fashion genuine chances. I feel like Archer is pretty deadly when fed but just can't feed anything to the forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) cash just runs away from players as they run towards the box, its maddening. Edited August 3 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 As always you can't read too much into pre-season but this game has followed the previous two in terms of how unimpressive Villa have been. Have been completely unable to look after the ball properly thus far. A lot of rushed stuff in particular from Bailey and Rogers that is killing attacks.

villan95 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 2 minutes ago, MaVilla said: I saw an interview with Emery where he discussed his preferred base formations. he basically said, that he liked to play a 442 for underdog teams, as its more structured and defensively solid. He said his preferred formations if he has the players (ie: good players), is a 433 or 4141, now, that may no longer be true as i guess people can change their mind, but the comments always stuck with me. Ah fair enough. I still think it wouldn't be smart to change when it's worked so well. Maybe if there's a slump at some point that would be the right time to change. We're not a million miles away from a 4231 shape either with the way our second striker plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 There is a lack of patience and purpose building from the back (miss you Emi) so it's causing us to get pinned back. That's why the long balls are working better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This squad will be very different when Konsa, Emi and Watkins are back in it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 we just look very flat footed, tielemans had the ball then in the centre of the pitch, looked up and nobody was moving ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted August 3 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3 (edited) Have I mentioned, Bogarde? Really excited about this kid. Fearless and clinical and super intelligent. Edited August 3 by Marka Ragnos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
