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...
