Match Thread | Aston Villa vs Man City (06/12/23)

Good to see Bernardo in the middle, hopefully not too high up the pitch. Get Bobb on for Lewis.

There’ll be changes positionally, in build up, in the off the ball shape/press, if not in personnel. Harder to spot what they are though.

Yep. Stones and Akanji have swapped roles. Akanji is Rodri and Stones is… Stones.

Villa back line is very high… a ball over the top for Erling to chase might be a better tactic than what we’ve shown so far?

 

[argyle]

They're not fit. Both coming back from injuries and can't play full games.

So the same as Stones yet he is preferred.

Not a chance in hell he makes the same call in the other direction

i hear you BW.

I’m thinking of so many changes to be made just from issues I can see but I’m not Pep so who is say what I’d change would work.

Wondering if Bobb can come on and do a job. Doubt Pep would bring him on. Would be nice of course but something really needs to change.

Yes.I really can't see him bringing Bobb on at all.

5 at the back with Lewis as an inverted wing back? Bernie more central

 

[wolviedinho]

Least pep is reacting to the situation.
