Aston Villa v Everton Match Thread

Because we're mostly attacking, he won't change it even though the attacking is ineffective

[brontebilly]

It's the wrong formation for today and it shouldn't be taking this long to change it

[Demitri_C]

Anyone can see you need wingers for this game

Ings is a paseenger, the full backs crossing hasnt been good enough

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Get Ashley Young on now!

Noooo. Bailey please

Both.

[Bad English]

Sort it out Dean!

Bang on, picking this formation because it 'worked' against Chelsea was fucking stupid.

[Legion]

Bailey and Archer.

Harsh on Targett, he's playing like a full back being asked to play as a wing back and all his positioning is slightly off as a result so he's crossing from places he's not used to, etc.

To me we look like a team with good players and plenty of potential but out of shape. For all the positives Smith can see this is about 150minutes without scoring and not creating much in open play whilst our most creative players are sat watching.

We know smith won’t change it before it’s too late

Yep, horses for courses. The system today doesn't just weaken us in attack but in defence, as their strategy is to break into the spaces the formation is clearly leaving to incorporate a third man at the back.

[Jon Crofts]

Still, at least we haven’t got Andros Townsend.

[Demitri_C]

Still, at least we haven’t got Andros Townsend.

The kiss of death

[Toronto Villa]

This is going to end 0-0 or 1-0 to them if he doesn’t make a change soon

[Iamkmkm]

What is he waiting for?? Get them on the pitch now!

It's been evident for ages so why so long for a change.
