Froggatt wants two up top - so is it the 'right move'?

We asked for your views on if you think two strikers up top is the right short-term move? If you scroll down this page and read Mike Taylor's column, you'll see it's something ex-Villa man Steve Froggatt has been calling for.

Here are some of your comments:

Rob: Watkins is struggling, play Tammy as the number nine. Bailey is a liability, so maybe try Watkins on the right, he has the pace and will track back, definitely think it's worth a shot.

Joe: Watkins has scored one goal every 4.6 games this season in all competitions which is woeful. He needs assistance from Abraham with two up front or Tammy needs a crack at it himself as a lone target striker.

Martin: Two up front until the heart of midfield is back feels perfect. Emery has played it with us before with Rogers and Watkins. Abraham is perfect for pressing and hanging about in the box whereas Watkins will hold up play and not press as hard as Abraham. A 4-4-2 is a brilliant old school formation that Villa will thrive with until Tielemans, McGinn and Kamara are back.

Harvey: I do think that two up top is the right move for us right now because of our midfield problem. We can play Emery's 4-4-2 plus, as much as I love Ollie, he just isn't clinical enough for where we want to be, but is creative. And Tammy is clinical!

Sam: I'd just leave it with Unai. Even a genius like him will take a few game weeks to have worked out his best formation following the injuries to Kamara, McGinn and Tielemans. I'm sure he'll make the changes required to help us keep the pressure on the top two, and the chasing pack. The Tammy and Ollie show does have a good ring to it though!

Rob: I can't see it working on a recurring basis if I'm honest. When we try to attack directly in front of goal, I think our tactics rely too much on Ollie in a way that doesn't seem to happen when Tammy Abraham's been playing instead. Having seen Tammy play well as a sole striker and watching Watkins struggle without service while Tielemans and McGinn have been injured, I think it just makes more tactical sense to bench Ollie and start Tammy at the moment.

Prit: I think if we had a fully fit Ollie Watkins having two up front with Tammy Abraham would work. However, I'm not sure Ollie is fully fit and he is struggling to get up to speed with the game. If Watkins is injured, just take some time out and get fit and come back stronger.
