villa pre-match thread

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Possibly the most sensible suggestion Ive seen so far.

Apart from the 3 goals that is. We won't score 3 goals in a game again this season.

Nice to see the Prophets of Doom still alive and well :icon_lol:

looks pretty defensive imo.:icon_sad:

 

[LCFC 4 life]

doesnt really matter Young and Agbonlahor will tear sheehan or mattock apart.

 

[Jeff]

Team announced, 5 at the back and 3 defensive midfielders. 3 more defenders on the bench. Whether it works or not, i hate it when teams play like that.

 

[homer]

Seven defenders, a defensive midfielder plus a keeper on the pitch

Three defenders plus a keeper on the bench

Only three attacking players in the whole feckin' squad of sixteen



Utter toss

 

[Micky]

feck me, i'm going to watch emmerdale

Nine defenders and two goalkeepers in the sixteen. Can anyone think of a more defensive turn out EVER? - What's the betting that we score four?

 

[alex]

We scored one and won..... How about that?

 

[Jeff]

We scored one and won..... How about that?

Doesn't mean I agree with the tactic of having 5 full backs on the pitch at the same time.

I'll stop going to away games if we're going to play like that every week.

 

[alex]

ok then....

Would you stop going to away games if we play like that and won 1-0 every week?

 

[alex]

Would you stop going to away games if we play like that and won 1-0 every week?

And by all accounts, we played well.

 

[The Voice From Above]

And by all accounts, we played well.

yes we did alex...and we beat a top premiership side on their own patch...but we played too many defenders

its just not good enough..

Yes, I want to be entertained, not watch us bore the opposition into submission.

Fair play to GM for getting the players working hard, and organised, but I don't like teams playing such defensive tactics.

I dont either Jeff. Nobody does. But if its the best approach, considering the hand we have, then it has to be done in order to get some wins on the board.

I don't think it's the best approach, it's just GM's way of playing, he's always done it - and that was why I was so against his appointment.
I listened to the local Brum radio before and after the match and they knew exactly how Leicester would play because they'd seen when he was at West Brom.
