AVB Tactics Vs Reading Explained...def worth a read!

I remember this game, 1 of our best performances of the season imo.

Why did we change it?

Thanks for bumping, missed this the first time around, but very interesting indeed.

Love the fact that we have a manager that has a genuine tactical system. Now it's up to Levy to get the right pieces to fit in.

Excellent start made with Paulinho and Chadli, think they will both excel in the AVB formation

If we are going to play the inverted wingers tactic, then I would like to see one of our wingers two footed (ort at least able to effectively cross with his 'weaker' foot). I don't want us to lose too much width.

That said, if our FBs can improve their crossing, this may sort itself. Rose's crossing on the weekend was a huge improvement on BAE's.

In fairness its pretty basic stuff (this article, not AVBs tactics).

A DM dropping in when full backs go forward, and a midfield with defined roles? Isnt that elementary?

One thing I will say, is that Paulinho will collect the ball from the CD's now. He is much better on the ball than Sandro, and does it for his old club side.

Bumping this thread as it's the way I would like/expect to see us play this year. The interesting thing for me is Paulinho. IMO he fits in the Dembele role (box-to-box) in the OP diagram... Does it mean pushing Dembele into the Siggi role (advanced)? For me, Siggi has looked good this preseason and he could be putting pressure on Demeble to start.

Paulinho will be the most advanced, Dembele still the most central player imo.

it depends what AVB has in store. If you watch Corinthians, Paulinho is the baller thats collects it from the CB.

I think this is very much the intention. The DM dropping in to a back 3 allows the FBs to get forward and provide the width.

Agree, but the FBs need to provide good quality crosses, which has been far from the case in the last couple of years...

I think the main success of the tactics employed against Reading was due to the fact that we were playing against Reading.
