Pinched from Drummond in another thread. Very little out wide. It is the way.

Martinez

Cash
Konsa
Mings
Torres
Maatsen

Kamara
Tielemans
Mcginn

Rogers
Watkins

That naturally relies on Rogers and Watkins remembering how to play football. Sancho and Malen until that point. Elliott too. Think I'd try Guessand at full back. Plenty of depth to fill in at centre mid. What do we think?

This will become more heated than the Maccabi TA thread.

What's the purpose of switching though?

We already have very different (and clear) formations for attack(325) and defence(442) so what issue are we addressing by removing 2 wide players to bulk out the centre of the pitch, especially when a big part of our trouble has been that we're too easy to defend because we're too narrow?

First he was having a pop at accountants, now he want us to play 3-5-2. Mark my words, the OP's a wrong 'un.

I’m surprised it took 9 minutes and 50 seconds for you to respond 😂

That Bozzie team is my favourite Villa 11. Probably why I'm so open to playing this beautiful, beautiful formation.

Calm down, brother. Think of the opportunity.

January deadline day signing of Connor Coady. Negligible PSR ramifications 🤤

Waste of time, you'd have more success offering a bacon sarnie to a member of ISIS.
