Without Kamara I think they'll dominate us in midfield, 2-1 them.
That's my worry. Fancied us to win this match before he got injured.
Will go for a draw.
View and my understanding of Premier League football.
I personally don't consider the physical issue as much of a factor outside of set plays and even then it's bordering on neglible as we are discussing high end footballers in level of player ability.
So to how I understand football at this level I really don't think the physical issue matters all that much. There are individual struggles, and perhaps Bailey is an instance where people's concerns about psychicality are legitimate in many games.
Request, consider and debate
I'd want to ask for more to demonstrate a better understanding of the level of football we're talking about. These are professional athletes from the Premier League. People seem to be concerned about their own experiences or ideas of size and strength. Look from the elite level perspective. This isn't youth or low level football.
With all due respect, the assertion made about this actual object strikes me as being very British or old school. Although Moyes and Emery employ distinct tactical approaches and philosophies.
Spannish Influence
Our manager is from Spain. The best footballing sides in Guardiola, Arteta and De Zebri are Spannish. That's my opinion. Emery Villa will also be one of the most attractive teams on the ball and in the league in time.
The wonderful football success of Spain's national team and individual players never wanted to distinguish themselves by being the most aggressive, but yes competitive, they were in control with the football.
Not as simple as physicality
Being bullied in the middle of the park is significantly less sophisticated theory and it's more complex. I understand if that's how people want to view the game, but given how the Premier League players' skills and playing styles have developed, I find that to be not only simplistic but also wildly not the case due to fine details at this level.
When it comes to dominating, are you concerned about physical dominance and a hold over our midfilders, as some others have mentioned?
Who has the ball is high key factor yet hardly brought uo in discussion here why so???
Surmise:
Are the people who view this as merely a physical sport the same people aghast at playing it out from the back. I suspect so. It makes sense.
Suggestion:
Might I suggest that Villa will strive to possess the ball for a long time? If so, Villa could have the upper hand due to that.
Fact:
West Ham currently ranks 15th in the league in terms of average home possession (43%).
They come in at number 18 for possession overall.
Villa have 48% possession away from home
It's Emery philosophy to retain the ball maybe we could include the focus here as much as anywhere in regards this dominating!
