Match Thread Aston Villa vs. Everton - Carabao Cup Third Round

[Davideeyore]

5 at the back and going with 2 in CM Onano and Garner will need to be like an old fashioned midfield pair.

Hindsight will be great later when everybody is fuming he started Keane.

But I agree.

I genuinely dgaf who started so long as we took this seriously enough as a chance to experiment and rotated reasonably. If we get blasted, I don’t care. We learn something today which we wouldn’t if he went with the same freakin lineup as always or a complete B team. Good on Dyche

I’m looking for Patterson to impress, I’d settle for a hat-trick

Shocking line up & shocking formation !!

 

[Melchizedek]

People always consider 5 at the back as defensive, but if done correctly it can be quite attacking.

Are there any books I could read about this subject? Specifically how to coach the European variety?

Needs a better performance than he served up here a few weeks ago thats for sure.

Absolutely hate Keane anywhere near the team tbh, him or Godfrey just instantly puts panic into the backline.

But it's a good side with plenty of players needing to impress for the weekend, likes of Patterson, Harrison, Danjuma and DCL all making a claim for a starting spot on Saturday.

Disappointingly strong lineup imo. I'd rather go out early and have a go at the FA Cup instead.

Ahh yeah because that's us like, flush with silverware.

Let's just go all out for the title instead.

Their midfield concerns me the most, its gonna be carnage in there.

Doncaster destroyed Garner and Onana, no wonder he has extra defenders.

What people forget is Mickey Keggers is a striker in disguise.

Bit depressing how decent Villa’s second string are. Don’t do it to yourselves, lads; a bummin’ is a-comin’!

That’s pretty much their first team aside from about 3 players, not a second string at all.

Old fashioned as I. Gareth Farelly and Gavin McCann.

Look, we all know Keane shouldn't be anywhere near a starting line up but if Dyche is going to persist with giving him chances then a three makes sense.

That said, there's absolutely no reason to start Keane in any match beyond injuries and three, really five, at the back is always a nightmare to watch us play.
