Aston Villa vs Swansea City Match Thread - The Dean Smith era begins
« on: October 20, 2018, 02:01:42 PM »
The Dean Smith era begins ladies and gents. Whatever side he picked today they will all play better and want to win. I am looking forward to seeing what formation we play in and how we approach the game.

I imagine a lot of the side he picked was down to the players he had all week due to the international break and those who had to travel.

New manager bounce or bump? Looks promising.

Was always going to be a strange selectiom after the international break but if Steve Bruce picked that side he would be getting pelters. Elmo on right wing again, Taylor starting at all....UTV

Can only assume Bolasie cannot manage a full game yet, but seeing Elmohamady and Adomah on the wings is not a particularly exciting prospect.

New bounce or not.  I hate that line up.  I hope I'm really wrong but Elmo, Taylor and Albert starting does not fill me with the joys of this new dawn.

At least he has picked 4 defenders to actually play in their right positions. I don't think it's a bad set up.
