I think Arsenal away is a good game to try something like a 4-2-2-1-1. Hourihane in there for his set piece threat and get the big lads up, play Grealish higher up the field and look to win free kicks. Be compact and we can nick something there. Heaton Fred - Engels - Mings - Taylor Marvelous - Douglas Luis McGinn - Hourihane Grealish Wesley no widthThe width has got to come from the left and right backs. Guilbert can do it not sure about Taylor.

I was not impressed with the AEG / Mings handbags though.
Quote from: Bad English on September 17, 2019, 04:12:26 PMI was not impressed with the AEG / Mings handbags though. If AEG had managed to headbutt Mings, I think the former would have been spark out on the floor, whilst the latter was looking around for the fly he'd felt land on him
When I say the standard of the passing was high (and it did get sloppier when they went down to ten) I mean you have to factor in the quality of the pressing and the defending too. There were plenty of balls that, against lesser opposition, would've been on target and incisive but that were cut out by good positioning and anticipation. This division is a proper challenge.
Heaton- Engels - Mings dont think i would swap them for any other 3 in the prem they have settled in and look solidGuilbert - love this lad and he will only get better, we have a true Villa star on our hands hereTaylor - did ok but needs an up-grade , in the same way Elmo did ok but we needed someone who offered more and Guibert came in and we look better for it, don't know if that's Target, if not it was a lot of money to pay for someone who's no improvement on TaylorGrealish - Mcginn - heartbeat of the villa side, Jacks not reached his heights yet but he is still instrumental in everything we do going forward,Mcginn is just Mcginn best iv'e seen since Des Bremner, no higher praise than thatDoug - Marvo - play them both, i reckon Doug especially would be just as creative as one of our wide players El Ghazi- Jota - Trez- not overly impressed with any of them so far, all a bit samey in there performances, but its early days for Trez hopefully one will come through to be a more dangerous player in the wide areasWesley - Davis - not worried about them if we get the shape right they will score the goals i also agree with Dogtanians post, enjoyed the game and we are a totally different team from the last time we played in this leaguei was a bit disappointed in the sub, bringing on Elmo looked a bit like we were playing for a draw, then the fella got sent offso we are playing against 10 men with both Elmo and Taylor in our 11, we needed to get Davis or at least Hourahane on straight away put pressure on them and give it a right go
I hope Supporters don't start turning on AEG he's a great lad and can be class on his day, I just think TM went a bit OTT, England call up prob got to his head and Anwar has reacted. Hopefully that's the end of it , both great lads
