Decent result from Vile Park this evening.
Villa could and maybe should have got something from that. United's playing out from the back is comical.
I hate that tactic tbh because we then usually then have a period of boring sideways and backwards passing. Moreover, in a significant number of occasions, possession is lost. It's OK if team mates move quickly into space and into wide positions, but they seldom do. It just slows the game down.
There’s a huge difference in how effective it is between when Lisandro Martinez plays and when Maguire is in the team.
Martinez is exceptional at taking the ball under pressure and breaking the opposition lines. Maguire dawdles on the ball and corners himself inviting pressure.
He’s a perfectly competent defender Maguire, but there’s a huge gulf between the confidence he has in his own ability in possession and the reality of it.
