Big risk from Ange, especially up against a stable team in villa where the players are all familiar with their roles. But I think the fans will appreciate his boldness, however it goes today.
That is rightly a concern with several players on very little/no minutes, with no real like for like alternatives.Really looking forward to seeing that middle three. They are all hard working so i don’t think it will be a push over. Only concern is running out of steam in the 2nd half.
I think you will probably be right, also because Gio played the Maddison role pre season. Both hard workers tho so that should help.Could but Deki covers so much ground he's the most likely to replace the energy of Sarr
Injuredtoo defensive minded.
I honestly wouldn't rule it out
That's what it will be IMO.I think I'd prefer Gill left and Johnson right
Hopefully they’ll swap periodically to keep Villa on their toes.I think I'd prefer Gill left and Johnson right
There are a lot of things to admire about Ange, but one of the best is his signalling. This might all go wrong today, but he's telling everyone from the players to the fans that we are no longer going to be passive, even in the grip of one of the worst injury/suspension crises of recent years.Even if this lineup doesn't work, massive credit for changing things from the last game. Our last few managers would have just stuck with the same line up and moaned about it. I'm loving Ange in charge.
Given the parameters of Ange not compromising tactical I think this actually makes the most sense. Reality is PEH whilst not an awful player just doesn’t suit the system. Ange has obviously decided to go with a line up with the most amount of players that can technically play his system rather than shoehorning technically limited players into it. Yes we might loose but we have see what happens when the likes of PEH and Dier start a game, they are just far to limited and we struggle to control the ball in the middle of the pitch. I don’t think ether way is less risky and if anything I can see the logic more with this line up especially as we are home.Big risk from Ange, especially up against a stable team in villa where the players are all familiar with their roles. But I think the fans will appreciate his boldness, however it goes today.
