Yorkie Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Sad I didn't stay up for the craic last night; looks like it was a fun one. Caught up on the highlights; mildly alarmed by how off the pace Tonali appeared (based on Villa's first two). Probably need to realise that not everyone is going to hit the ground running like Bruno and Isak. Might take wor Sandy a bit longer, particularly with the language barrier. Loved Anderson's goal.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Sandro was so bad for the first that I would be suprised if it was anything more than uncompetitive debut hiccups (against a decent side anyway, I know he played 45 against Gateshead).

TK-421 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Stayed up for this last night, and feel absolutely wrecked this morning, so just WFH. Decent enough match, both sides still a bit rusty, and trying some things out and giving fringe players some game time. and I'm sure things will be a lot differnet for the opening PL match. Some strange games/results in this tournament so far though... 4-3, 3-2, 3-3. Good entertainment though for the Americans and the travelling fans. Don't think I'll be staying up for the next one though, as I'll have to be 'In' work the next day. Edited July 24, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Interesting to hear McGinn say that Villa's focus was get the ball in behind Bruno and Tonali. Definitely something we need to mull over before the league game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Nice of him to give away the tactics, for sure. The midfielders getting on the half turn and playing a direct ball through is Villa’s whole game. Hopefully we can figure out a way to nullify it, actually might be pressing less and just screening in front of them so they have to pass back.

Teams know our strengths & weaknesses, so we need to evolve. Last year, by nullifying Bruno, we really did struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Started watching, determined to watch all. Fell asleep on sofa at 2-0, woke up half time. Decided to sleep in spare room and watch second half on ipad. Woke up at 4am with ipad on chest, having seen no more of it. Watched the goals, read the reports this morning. Sounds like a decent kick about, that's exactly what the managers will have wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Another worry for me is Nick Pope - injury means he isn’t getting a proper pre-season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
