Should Villa Start Two Strikers Up Front?

Former Villa player Steve Froggatt has called for a two-striker approach, sparking debate among fans on whether Tammy Abraham and Ollie Watkins should start together.

Fans are divided on ex-Villa man Steve Froggatt's suggestion to deploy two strikers amid the club's midfield injury crisis. While some believe a 4-4-2 formation with Abraham and Watkins would work perfectly until players like Tielemans, McGinn and Kamara return, others question if Watkins is fully fit and performing at his best.

The discussion highlights the complementary styles of the forwards, with Abraham noted for his pressing and clinical finishing, while Watkins is praised for creativity and hold-up play. Some fans suggest Watkins might be better utilized on the wing, with Abraham as the main striker, while others prefer giving Abraham the lone striker role temporarily.
