Villa Style, Tactics & Formations 2018/19

[Matt Collins]

Jedinak can't play in a four man midfield in my view

He's way too slow and not good enough on the ball

[VILLA MOLE]

                                                                   Nyland

                                    Bree                       Tuanzabe       Chester


                  EL khazi              MCGINN                GREALISH     HOURIHANE         BOLASIE

No idea!

[Confusious says]

With the 7 departed scouts & technical staff departing Bruce will know it's the last throw of the dice for him, so he may Surprise us by some more attacking intent in coming games

[footyskillz]

There is no choice not to be attacking with 2 up top and the other attackers like Bolasie and Grealish .Mcginn and El Ghazi as well as the goals of Adomah and Houirhane

I may be in the minority but thought Taylor was one of our better players at Blackburn and a better option there than Hutton, who slows the game down with his first touch coming inside. Tuanzebe was good at Blackburn imo, I think he has real talent. Hogan if he is fit enough should be on the bench imo

[Toronto Villa]

If Taylor was any good it was fleeting. He’s a disaster waiting to happen every minute he’s on the pitch.

[Jockey Randall]

It's fair enough playing 2 up top and thinking it's attacking but Bruce and his team don't seem to think about how to make it fully effective. I think the best way to play it was how Leicester utilised it as a counter attacking system, moving the ball quickly up the field when in possession and punishing opposition mistakes.

Bruce and his team seem to think we can dominate possession playing 2 in the middle and pass our way through. It played right in Wednesday's hands and it clearly wasn't working after 15 minutes of the game on Saturday. We need 3 in the middle if they want to dominate the ball imo and if he wants to play 2 up top then I'd much rather see a 3-5-2.

The best the back four looked all season was Blackburn.

[footyskillz]

What happened to Bruce usual 2 up top ??

Seemed to initial play jimmy right then swapped him with Grealish ?!

Real puzzling how he approached the match and in game tactics

The most frustrating was he ended up with no strikers on pitch after taking Abrahams off.

Snigger.

What style? What tactics? What formation? It's just a random selection at best.
