Some Villa fans want to see formation change against Tottenham

Aston Villa fell to a 2-1 Premier League defeat to AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium last Saturday.

Dean Smith used a 3-4-3 system against the Cherries, with new striker Mbwana Samatta leading the attack.

Samatta got his name on the scoresheet but it was defensively where Villa were punished.

We feel that the wide players are not as effective for Villa at the moment and several Villa fans want to see Smith play with two strikers and Jack Grealish behind them as the playmaker.

Anwar El Ghazi and Trezeguet have no Premier League goal involvements since the first day of December and Keinan Davis looked promising when he came on from the bench.

However, Davis has suffered an injury setback and that could mean January signing Borja Baston gets a chance in the side alongside Samatta.

These fans provided their opinions on Twitter, with a lot of them warming to the idea of playing two up front, starting with the next Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur.
