I don't think the their real keeper would have saved that free kick.

Kirby seemed to play as an ALM after coming on, isn't he more of a CM normally ?
Yeah that’s what I think it was.Sancho and Hudson caused havoc.

Chile don't play much like that anymore since Sampaoli left.

Not if we don't have managers and coaches good enough to get the talent out of them.

they are all quite samey in that none of them are outright defensive or offensive but they all go about things a little differently. i know most in here see him as a #8 but i do think tob will settle in as a #4 in the long-term but more of a shielding/intercepting carrick type rather than a wanyama. winks and onomah you're probably always going to want a dm alongside them and they both bring similar qualities to the team but stylistically they're quite different. winks is obviously busier and gets through more work and more ball, onomah's a bit more expansive and likes to dribble, he also has untapped physical potential that winks will never have. i do still think if both reach their max potential then onomah will be the better player but winks has always been the safer bet and he's currently proving that, i just hope that josh gets a run in his actual position at villa as whilst he needs a lot of work still in some areas, there's a serious player in there.

I think they're all very different in style, but couldn't all fit in the same team. They fulfil similar roles in a totally different way.
Imagine your same question was about Kane, Lukaku and Aguero, and it's probably a similar response.

They were still playing a version of it in the summer. Maybe not quite as ferocious but still reasonably intense.

Special mention to Eyoma , who is starting to look like a very realistic future prospect for the 1st team.
Exciting to think what Poch could do with his talent in the next 2-3 years..and Skipp..and TOB..and Bennetts..and Onomah..and Edwards.
We've so much talent coming through it's frightening!

Just a question regarding eyoma. He seems to play at RB whenever I see him play but physically he looks more like a CB. Where's he likely to end up?

He definitely doesn't seem a natural right back, I think he ended up out there because of the quality we felt we had ahead of him. They clearly rate him and so wanted him in the side. I'm sure playing there has improved him, especially with the ball at his feet. Remember Vertonghen didn't start off at centre half either, he was a winger as a schoolboy who played youth football as a left back, it was only as he neared the first team that he started to transition into a centre back, but a centre back with excellent feet.
I’ve no doubt Eyoma will become a competent PL full back.Tbh he’s got enough size about him to be a CB.Our production line if full backs is freakish.Levy must be loving this in today’s market.I mean KWP is probably already £10-15m winks must be at least £25m now.

Eyoma will surely end up a CB. Ideally suited to the right side of a back 3. Comfortable in wide areas and able to carry the ball out.

If we played a 4-3-3, I could see them fitting in as the central 3. Don't see them all playing together in a 3-4-3 that we currently employee.
