Froggatt urges Villa to try two strikers

Former Aston Villa player Steve Froggatt has called for the team to play with two strikers up front, a move that has divided fan opinion amid ongoing midfield injuries.

Ex-Villa man Steve Froggatt has backed a two-striker system for Aston Villa, suggesting Ollie Watkins and Tammy Abraham could form an effective partnership. Fans have expressed mixed views on the tactical shift, with some believing the 4-4-2 formation would work well until midfielders Tielemans, McGinn and Kamara return from injury.

Watkins has struggled with form this season, scoring one goal every 4.6 games across all competitions. While some fans suggest pairing him with Abraham, others recommend playing Tammy as a lone striker or moving Watkins to the right flank. Manager Unai Emery has yet to confirm any tactical changes, with some supporters urging patience as he works to find the best formation amid the current injury crisis.
