Aston Villa (H) 12/12 Build-Up & Match Thread

Kilman quick!? Turns like an Oil tanker. Think Nuno is always going to go Saiss over Kilman. Mangers will always go for experience, Kilmans positioning in a 4 thus far has been woeful, which is literally the most important attribute. Saiss is probably our biggest threat from set pieces in the entire squad.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Villa have had loads of shots on target this season. I wouldn't have played a 3 but 4 with Saiss looks weak. If we outscore them then great but neither of our CBs are proper CBs. And we have tons of options there too.

 

[Freddeno]

Lets go, this will be a very exciting game...we have a good team out, just shut down Grealish and Watkins..

So Willy Boly has been poor for ages. You want to play a 4, but you don’t want to play Saiss? So I’m a little confused. What is the solution from a squad with no stand out CB?

 

[t3ch]

lovin that attack, hope it results in something

good to see nuno being relatively quick to drop/rotate.

 

[SSB]

[t3ch]

A plane being flown over the ground with “Get Well Soon Wolves Ay We” on it.

I confused how people don’t like that team...

I doubt many have issues with the front six, keeper and left back which leaves you with 2 slow centre halves who have played in defence for Wolves almost exclusively in a 5. The player most would have said was your best centre half has been dropped because it doesn't suit him - although he's been mainly poor in a 5 since lockdown. Which leaves a right back who £30m has been spent on because of what he can offer going forwards, but defensively has shown concentration issues and depending on how they set up is probably going to be tasked with shutting down their best player

This is what we’ve bought. This is what we have. Semedo should be doing better and at CB that is the best we can do. There’s not much in it between them.

I think we lose a bit of height and muscle with that back four but let's see how it pans out.

Really hope Fabio gives a good account of himself and gives Mings something to think about

 

[The Bear]

Yes Saiss has played in a back four plenty of times for Morocco. Now worries there. Only on his aggression for me.

Just hope Mike it's all about me Dean fucking behaves

Seems unlikely, especially with the amount of diving merchants on villas team.

mcginn throwing himself to the floor whenever he can, luiz has been down three times already and we all know what grealish is

 

[The Bear]

Unlucky Neto couldn't get more on that cross then or it would have been an almost certain goal.

 

[Freddeno]

want higher pressure so we can get the ball higher up the pitch and create something

 

[Premier Quality]

Luiz and grealish falling to the floor in perfect synchrony there.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Grealish runs into Traore,goes down theatricality and gets a free kick. He is a cheating cunt

 

[prawnking]

Coady needs to get in Dean's ear before Grealish starts reffing this

 

[James]

I think a slight breeze would send Grealish to the floor
