This side is weird.
A match like the recent visit to Nottingham I'd written off and then they get a comfortable win with Pickford barely making a save all game. On a ground where Arsenal and Man. City have been turned over in recent months.
And then you see some of the pap that is being produced at home currently.
Whatever Moyes is doing with preparation for away games he needs to replicate for BMD. Do the team stay in a hotel before home games?
Anyway considering how patched up the team was that was brilliant to watch. Harrison Armstrong going to be the best young player produced for many a year as he looked so comfortable out there today. Shows the value of his two loan spells.
Also J O'B needs to get an extended run centrally. It is time Moyes.
I think it's a few things.
Some teams are easy to read and I think Villa are one of them, tippy tappy football out from the back. Despite what people say about
Moyes he's a very good tactician, reads the opposition well and sets his team up to suit away from home.
When we are at home it's totally different, we are expected to be on the front foot and the away teams read us like a book and set up well against us.
I think at home everything needs to be a bit quicker and you will see a different team,
Grealish needs to let it go quicker.
We are also a little defensive minded when at home and I think it confuses the players. How many times do you see our wingers knocking it backwards, when for me at home it should be all out attack.
Then there is the mindset, we should have a defensive mindset away, and an all out attack mindset at home. We have the away mindset sorted, at home we look confused sometimes.
We seem to feel the expectation at home and I think the reigns need loosening at BMD and the players told to go out and enjoy it rather than playing chess at home like we do away.
