To be honest, it doesn’t matter what the formation is.
The biggest issue is that the feckers come out fighting and lose this tepid, timid approach to games.

Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Chris_Jephcott on January 01, 2020, 11:39:14 AM
5 in defence. Will greatly benefit from Mings leadership at the back.

I feel a bit more confident having having seen that sheet. Subtle changes, but hopefully with have the impact.

How many traps will we set today?
Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Abbeyfealeavfc on January 01, 2020, 11:39:53 AM
Pleased about change of formation. Glad Mings is back. Still not sure about Nakamba and Luiz together and Taylor as a wing back, but the guys have my full support, so come on Villa!

Hmm. Back five, attacking full-backs to provide the width and attacking penatration = Neil Taylor.

Well, okay then.

Grealish out wide again, nakamba and Luiz in the centre, really? What planet is DS and the coaching team on
Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: itmustbe_it is! on January 01, 2020, 11:42:01 AM
3 at the back will stop us being exposed behind the full backs.

2 DMs give Jack licence to get forward to the areas we want him to be in.

Wing backs giving width, especially Freddy.

Trezeguet playing off Wes.

This is pretty much exactly what we wanted. I love it. F**k the F***ers now Villa !

Drinkwater on the bench for them. Would seem to suggest that his acquisition isn't a done deal.

Post by: Villan For Life on January 01, 2020, 11:42:19 AM
I like the 5 man defence, the first stage in our recovery has to be by becoming more difficult to beat.

I really don't like five at the back. Prove me wrong, Villa.
Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: cdbearsfan on January 01, 2020, 11:44:03 AM
Of course, it could be that Smith is just trolling all the five at the back fans, and we are just playing Neil Taylor on the wing...

I guess we won't see till kick off but I don't see that lineup as Grealish out wide, I see him as attacking from a midfield 3 with 2 up front, the width from the wing backs.

Incidentally, apart from Trez instead of Kodjia its the side and formation Ads posted on the first post of the prematch thread isn't it?
Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread

Post by: Tuscans on January 01, 2020, 11:45:25 AM
I'm sure Hourihane has played the odd game for Ireland as a wing back under Mick McCarthy. Doesn't offer anything defensively so about as good as Neil there but in the final third he would be a much better option.
Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Kimaster1976 on January 01, 2020, 11:47:28 AM
Just exactly how bad does Wesley have to play then before he's out the team?

My god just tell him he needs a rest or something if need be as it appears dropping him has been written in his contract as not allowed!
Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread

Disappointed to see Wesley out there again but at least he's changed it.

There's realistically nobody else. This is the formation most have been asking for; let's see if we're the football experts we think we are.

Well it’s a tactical change which we wanted. I’m fine with Taylor, he hasn’t done much wrong when called on this season.

As much as we want/need to see changes, it makes you wonder if such a radical set of changes in a critical game is a sign of desperation from the manager.
Title: Re: Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: PeterWithe on January 01, 2020, 11:52:11 AM
Course I hope we win but I don’t like this formation at all, if they play with one up top we’ll have 5 players round him, very easily outnumbered elsewhere.

I wonder if he's moved Konsa to the centre of the park, although seems unlikely with both Nakamba and Luiz in there too?  We will see.

                    Heaton
Guilbert   Hause    Mings     Taylor
      Nakamba   Konsa   Luiz
Trezeguet    Wesley    Grealish

This feels like a last roll of the dice from Dean Smith. Picking Wesley in this formation (or at all) and even worse, having to play Neil Taylor, looks like a recipe for disaster.

A comfortable afternoon for Burnley I'm afraid.

Smith can't win can he? Fans call for a change of formation and as soon as he does it's questioned as desperation.

Good to see DS adapting at last. Definitely should make us more solid, would have preferred Hourihane in there as we seem to have plenty of defensive options and hope that Grealish gets involved wherever he plays.

How can a goal be disallowed for a player that isn’t interfering?! Loads of goals have been allowed with non interfering players in offside positions. Almost as if they are finding excuses to disallow goals. Fuckin shite application of the rules.

Looking at the highlights, he seems to have been given a free role which is where he is best. It stops him being man marked out of the game or being stuck in areas of little danger to the opposition.

They are huffing and puffing a lot but all it takes is one slip and it’s squeaky bum time again. We need to ride out the next 10 or so and keep the ball better.

Guilbert needs to sort himself out. He hasn't got a pace advantage over their left back so he can't rely on it to get himself out of trouble.

Their left back is having way too much joy.

And this is where Smith has shown he still is not a good manager. Dyche makes changes and suddenly they are much better. Their Taylor been free and an attacking threat. A better manager would make a change to counter that. Move a man wider so he can’t get forward or leaves a hole in defence if they go too far forward.

Doug Luiz has had his best game for us imo. Seems way more assured with 3 at the back to let him roam forward.
With Wes’ injury, that should force their hand to go for a striker. Jarod Bowen (and another) for me.

Come on Villa - hold out! Not gonna be happy if that disallowed VAR goal costs us the points

But as PWS' theory goes, had the first Grealish goal counted there's no way of knowing that we would score twice more, the sequence of play would have been totally different. You can't go back to the future.
