Pre-season (2024/25)

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.

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.

Yeah, no surprise EH looking at different systems. We aren’t a surprise anymore. Teams know our strengths & weaknesses, so we need to evolve. Last year, by nullifying Bruno, we really did struggle.

Good run out, Gordon looking sharp, I know it only pre season but we still look in desperate need of a LB


We didn’t play with one.

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.

That’s all it was, just getting match fitness and sharpness back.

Im tipping Villa to make the CL this season.

 

Over us.

Another worry for me is Nick Pope - injury means he isn’t getting a proper pre-season


Think he started his training this week, so isn’t far behind.

Won’t be an issue, I think, with four at the back.

It’s quite natural, we humans have tendencies to want to draw definitive conclusions  

Yep, but less so in the ones with good reasoning skills. Could do with a bit more grey between our black and white thinking at times.
