No fluidity to our game play, I hate this 3/5 at the back especially with the attacking talent we have. No drive in the team to move the ball beyond the half way line and get an attack going, too many passes trying to be pinged to an isolated guy up front who often has 2 or 3 villa players on him.
I like 3 at the back, but you need someone to carry the ball. The wingbacks don’t seem to want to, and Rice has barely run with the ball so far this season.
Very poor first half. Antonio needs to play alongside Scamacca. Fornals is totally ineffective, and so is Soucek. Behrama for Emerson, Lanzini for Soucek and Antonio for Fornals - this may improve our performance. Maybe also Cornet for Cresswell.

Hopefully we'll see him and Cornet in the second half.
You go to a back 5 and you drop the most attacking of our supporting attackers and leaving fornals on the pitch...
Moyes cant afford this level of performance
