Ipswich v Aston Villa Match Thread

Looks like a 4-3-2-1 formation. Thinking Ayew and Jack playing behind Kodjia.

You seeing the three centre backs?

Yes 3-5-1-1

[oswald funkletrumpet]

God, don't like the look of that at all. Seems like desperation stakes now.

totally agree and fuck me that bench makes my eyes bleed

[avfcpg]

3-5-2 don't mind that if it is. Ayew and Kodija playing where they should..more solid through the middle, a bit of width with Bacuna & Amavi with Jack play making in the middle. That looks a more natural side to me with players playing in their actual positions.
Have we actually sold Traore or just renamed him Tsihbola? :-)

[Goldie.7]

Phew........... no Hutton.

[Monty]

So it's 5-2-2-1? Or 3-3-1-3? Or 3-5-2? 1-2-4-1-2?

Fuck completely missed Baker. So 3-5-2?

Baker played LB at Bristol City last season.

[avfcpg]

So it's 5-2-2-1? Or 3-3-1-3? Or 3-5-2? 1-2-4-1-2?

I'd say 3-5-2

[villadelph]

3-5-2 is fine with me, just make sure we're on our front foot and dictating the play.

[Monty]

With Grealish in a midfield three? Well it's narrow but it could work.

[Goldie.7]

Looks like a 4-4-1-1 to me with Amavi on the wing.......interesting?

[Matt Collins]

Definitely looks 352

Always alarmed when you switch formation with little prep - how many days of training have we spent on that? Just since Brentford? It took sir Brian months before he could get us playing 352 properly

Should in theory give us more control though

But not the team id have picked

Disappointing no Tshibola even on the bench

[villadelph]

With Grealish in a midfield three? Well it's narrow but it could work.

Could if be a 3-4-3?

Where is Tshibola with this knock from weeks ago..?

[ozzjim]

No more narrow than we have been all season. In fact I think all 11 I would say are in their right positions for the first time this season.

Worried about Tshibola. Talented but never fucking fit. Desperately short in the centre of midfield.

[ez]

I think it's now safe to assume Westwood is undroppable.

The last time I held such an opinion, Timmy had just begun his descent into madness and had picked Sanchez as our midfield one.

It didn't go well.
