I think that we have recognised and addressed the physicality problem we had last year at times both in height and agression, I also believe that at times that extended to attitude too and Unai sees this lad as another leader, which will also be valuable to us, you can’t have too many leaders on the pitch, Tyrone returning will help with this as well.

ejs1111 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 what I really like about this lad is he has frequently been team captain. Another leader on the pitch- especially with the back4 would be very welcome while Mings is still recovering. UTV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTV!!! I jest with height, it has to be accompanied by lots of other ingredients too. But the holy grail is, stopping the opposition, getting at us. If crosses come in willy nilly, it has to be called out as poor....denial cannot exist in a progressive team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the very limited amount I've seen of him previously and the amateur research I've done in the last couple of days he's been at his best when inverting into midfield and essentially playing as a CM in possession (as some of the heat maps posted on previous pages attest to), which you'd imagine he wouldn't do at Villa given it's not the game of any left back at the club to play as a third centre back. Geertruida-Konsa-Torres-Maatsen isn't really a backline that screams solidity either and feels like we'd still be vulnerable to crosses etc, though conversely he's so comfortable in possession that he'd be a big help in controlling games better, which can be a struggle sometimes with Cash and/or Carlos. I am also intrigued. Maatsen did the same thing on the left quite well for Dormund (invert into midfield). Maybe Emery can now play his final form - the 2-2-2-2-1-1.
