Villa Style, Tactics & Formations 2018/19

I reckon he has got one of those lottery ball machines with the squad numbers on the balls.

Cast your mind back to last season and Albert Adomah not being in the squad early doors and one goal a year in the team.

Style, dull
Tactics, defensive
Formation, all over the shop

Close thread.

I'd say our tactics were negative as opposed to defensive.

The best the back four looked all season was Blackburn.

And 3 of the back four changed within 2 games since, mental.

We have no style, correction a festering corpse has more style.
We have the pace, nous and charisma of a dead slug.
Our tactics and selection are a case of "lets put the names of our players in a hat and throw it up in the air, the first ten out will play in front of the shit goalie I bought in to replace Steer".
Our formation is like a child has got hold of a marker and the "tactics whiteboard" and drew its interpretation of how a dinosaur goes for a shit, and thats wor formation for the next match.

He couldn't do that properly as not all of the balls found their way into the machine,as those with Bree,DeLaet,Doyle-Hayes,RHM and Elphick's numbers went missing on several occasions.

If only a journalist or better still Bruce said that in a press conference.

Yep, it's anti-football, I'm convinced that Bruce would love it if the games were 85 minutes of nothing happening with us sneaking a goal or 2 in the 5 minutes where the game was worth watching.

I'd settle for dreadful football if the trade off was endless winning.

[brian green]

I would settle for losing endlessly if we played brilliant football (against top class opposition).  I could live with losing every game 4-5 in the Premiership and being relegated with null points as an alternative to the wrist slashing misery we are currently being subjected to.

Odd.

[Lastfootstamper]

Not that odd. I reckon most fans will be fairly happy with either winning all the time or watching good football. Both is ideal, and it probably follows that if you're getting one, you're getting at least a decent amount of the other.

Getting neither is shit.

[brian green]

Precisely LFS .  I would sooner go to a Villa game home or away and cheer four times than go to one and never cheer at all.

What's good about effectively describing the relegation season?
