Only them ?
Aston Villa v Burnley Match Thread.
- Thread starter The Fear
- Start date
Damned with faint praise! But the second goal in fact both goals were due to weak defending and burnley players simply wanting it more.
Yeah its the terrible defending and dropping too deep with 30 minutes left that has cost us. Wesley is only one of a number of issues smith has got to sort out.

At the moment.
Yes 57, didn't fancy Peter at all. Thank God Ron was Villa boss and not me. Sir Ron sold Gidman,Deehan and Gray and we all thought we were doomed. Ronnie understood that football is a team game. I know we are all frustrated (refereeing is probably no better or worse than in the past but their errors are now highlighted). As a club, we are going to join the big boys.lt will have hiccups along the way and we may be relegated but our amazing club will sooner or later be an elite football club.

Can't remember if I said this earlier in the thread and I can't be arsed to look back but I thought Marvelous was excellent. Fast, loads of energy, made tackles and interceptions and when he gets the ball he drives forward with it most of the time. I'd not heard of him before we signed him but I've been impressed so far.

It was another disappointing day for many in the Aston Villa fanbase as we allowed visitors Burnley back into the game twice to secure only a point on Saturday.

Yes. Agree. Just shows what we have been saying and why the likes of Westwood and Connor got and get criticised when they play.
A CDM or DCM (which ever way you swing) needs to do more than safely pass the ball sideways and backwards
Get the ball and if able drive into the space forwards .

My Son who is not easily impressed I have to say thinks Marvelous will be the next £60m midfielder.
I think he that good too, fast feet, always wants the ball drives forwards snaps into tackles, I'd like to see him Luiz , Jack and SJM in the same Villa team and us go 3 at the back with wing-backs

There is definitely a place for Luiz and Marvelous in the middle. I think that is the way forward.

I thought I had seen the next level of DM in David Luiz, but Marvellous is now pushing the bar even higher. The competition in central midfield is only a good thing. Similar to villan, I’d like to see us change it at the right time with Luiz and Marvellous in the midfield who keep the shape allowing SJM and JG to get forward.
When you think about the talent we have and the positives from Saturday, we’re only a goalscorer and perhaps a winger from being a top 10 side.

We'd have to play a kind of 3-4-2-1 in that case wouldn't we, to accommodate that many in the midfield?

Engels / Mings / Hause
Guilbert / Luiz /Nakamba /Targett
Grealish / McGinn
Wesley
Is that what you are suggesting? Looks ok on paper to me!

Pretty much how wolves play. I do think it would work for us, my only concern would be our mentality when we are up against it, as we’d end up 5-4-1 and defeat the object.
I can’t see DS changing from 4 at the back at this stage, which I’m alright with a long as Fred and Targett continue to get around the wingers at the right time. That’s the thing we need to do more of whatever the formation.

We didnt play 3 at the back yesterday and sacrificed a winger.
I think the same formation as yesterday with Luiz in for Connor is interesting. We coped wide defensively without 2 wingers until that idiot Taylor came on.

4-2-3-1 for me. Get people closer to Wesley and running past him. The 2 can hold the fort if we lose the ball.

Im sure Deano will see the light eventually.

Totally agree. Put those two in midfield and let Grealish, McGinn and Jota/Trezeguet/El ghazi do whatever the hell they feel like ahead of them behind wes.

That's pretty much the formation he played yesterday.
