Archer can’t be 100% fit to not get a game over both Ings and Watkins. Neither deserve a place on the bench let alone starting.

Watkins left wing, Bailey right wing. Buendia attacking midfield. With Luiz and Dendocknnckekeker holding.

Fair play to our fans for showing up in huge numbers despite the shit we’ve churned out. Another sell out today. Let’s hope our boys can rise to the occasion, dust off the start and make a really good impression for whenever becomes our new manager.

No McGinn, Martinez captain, would have started with Chambers.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Brentford Match Thread
Post by: Monty on October 23, 2022, 01:13:01 PM
It's absolutely 442. Well, we'll see, can work. The midfield 2 makes sense, and there's good material in there for counterattacking. God help us if we concede first though.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Brentford Match Thread
Post by: ozzjim on October 23, 2022, 01:16:15 PM
It's 4-2-3-1 surely. Dend and Luiz sit, Buendia at 10.watkins and Bailey wide, Ings up top

Post by: Clark W Griswold on October 23, 2022, 01:36:19 PM
Big day for Dendonkar, but he’s got his work cut out with the rest of the midfield / forward selection which is very attacking.
If it’s 4-3-3 I think I’d have preferred Nakamba for Watkins and I’d still go Coutinho for Buendia. Id also go Chambers for Konsa if he’s fit.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Brentford Match Thread
Post by: SamTheMouse on October 23, 2022, 01:38:57 PM
Not sure what to make of that, really. I like the selection of Luiz and Dendoncker, but Watkins has been shite lately and he's no wide man. Mind you, we've got no natural wingers at the club other than Bailey, so I suppose there's not much choice.

Should have signed Sarr, FFS.

Hopefully have a bit more control in midfield. It was embarrassing how much room Fulham had to surge forward in numbers. Good to see McGinn dropped too. Less misplaced passes will help with that control.

The job Dendocker us doing today is exactly what I expected from him when he signed, it's bizarre that Gerrard never even considered it.

Luiz has been our best player so far though, he's used the freedom of having someone there to dictate the play.

Front 4 all look dangerous and like they understand what they've been asked to do.

He lost his way a bit but was playing regularly for a Wolves side in the top 8 and playing n Europe. He’s also got loads of caps for Belgium, it’s no means guaranteed he’ll be great for us but to hear some talk he’s the new Djemba Djemba.

I remember under the stewardship of Sir Graham, watching highlights of Villa vs Everton many years ago when we led 3-0 at HT. We went on to win 6-2 that day. He said something to the effect of fans expect us to score 4,5 or 6. Which of course we did. But right now I would take a clean sheet and a stress free 2nd half. Would be ace to rack it up against these pricks who we never seem to beat but I’d like my Sunday morning to be nice and easy for the next 45.

Watkins is playing wide right and it has taken much of the pressure and focus off him. He’s linked the play really well. Ings is a natural finisher and he’s run the middle really well. I expect Cam to come on for Ings in the second half. Coutinho for Bailey or Buendia. Same shape and system.

Interesting stat - this is the first time Bailey, Buendia & Ings have all started together since they joined.

That's surprising, clearly working so far.

I don't think it was just Gerrard's selections and tactics that were the problem.

That team wasn't playing for him.

Just didn’t like the guy. Who could blame them.
