Villarreal look very organized defensively when they don't have the ball. They are playing a 442 and apparently, that's what they will be playing vs us thursday.
Their striker, Bakambu looks to be a more refined version of Origi, their 2 CM's don't seem to be overly committed in attack. Pina seems to be more defensive where as Bruno is their main ball playing midfielder. Suarez is an attacking midfielder playing right side, seems like he comes in often when he has the ball. The left wide player is Castillejo, looks more of a winger. I also like the look of their CB in Bailly, big, strong, quick and seems comfortable on the ball.
We're gonna have to be careful when we press them as they all seem to be very comfortable on the ball and could pass their way out of trouble. Castillejo and Bakambu look pacey and could cause us problems.
