A Blog For Aston Villa Fans

Now, if you're smart, you've figured out that there's football beyond England, and you caught up on your Bundesliga/Ligue 1/La Liga/Turkish footy this morning. But if you're still dying for some footy, I suggest you check out Graham's historical formation charts. They're sepia-toned!

Typically great stuff from Zonal Marking, featuring a look at the weird positional play of our very own Ashley Young.

H/T to the Twitter feed of the always excellent Zonal Marking. I've been thrilled with the idea of Young playing in the center since the first pre-season game, and the idea of this becoming a permanent move is beyond exciting. This is the kind of stuff that makes me think adding another striker is a waste of resources; the talent is there, it just needs to be utilized correctly. Great quick read.
