Anderson shouldn't be learning the 6 role in the first place. He wasn't signed as a Rodri replacement. Is that really so hard to grasp? Selling Nico G was a mistake. Buying Enzo F, of all the midfielders on the market, was a mistake too. Buying a 6 who'd pick up the role easily by playing (not sat on the bench), then not playing him because he's “young” (a stupid excuse), is pure BS. Fatzo is the problem. We shouldn't even be talking about Anderson. The two Enzos are bums.

Elliot of Anders cult asleep so can get this take off

Took Fabinho 6 months to become serviceable Rodri was already good but took 12 months for him to reach Ferna levels. Learning 6 takes time but I just doubt an English midfielder has the IQ for it.

The problem isn't even the 3-1-6/any of the formations people keep talking about (by the way, those are just numbers. There's a lot going on beyond them. It's positional play). The real problem is Enzo Maresca and his choice of players, and the roles and responsibilities he gives them within that structure. He is the problem.

Villa aren't even that good as a collective, man. They've got a few brilliant pieces, but they're beatable. Very beatable. A team we could've taken three good points off. The Villa loss. The Forest loss. Maresca's decisions. The line-ups. The subs. Everything about these three consecutive defeats is hurting me badly. This bald guy, man.

Boubacar Kamara is one of the best & most composed holding midfielders in the Prem. Doesn't get nearly enough credit.

Press-resistant under pressure, always scanning before he receives, and never rushed on the ball. He drops between the CBs to give the build-up a stable base, then breaks lines with simple, intelligent passing. OOP, he screens the back four, reads danger early, and snuffs out transitions before they turn into chances. Positional discipline at its finest.

Not flashy, but the structural glue that makes Villa tick. A proper footballer.

The club's analysts are sitting down with Anderson to walk him through instructions, while there's an elephant in the room causing all of this, and the only natural DM who can do that job effectively alongside Anderson is sat on the bench?

Tell me these people aren't serious about their jobs, man. Did we employ clueless, dumb analysts?

It frustrates me how these people don't get the basics. Enzo Fernández is useless in this team. That's a fact, you fools. Play Bouaddi & leave Ando alone. Stupid.

Noises coming from the #ManCity dressing room suggest Elliot Anderson is effectively being asked to operate as both a No6 and No8 when picked as the deepest midfielder, to join play high up the pitch.

That also relies on somebody covering. That somebody does not exist in this current setup, Enzo Fernandez always too high and wide elsewhere. When they lose duels as happened at the City Ground, @ManCity are not stable enough to recover.

Club analysts have sat with Anderson to go over video clips on how best to follow these instructions to the benefit of the team.
