CHRIS SUTTON: Instead of a crouching technique, put FIVE in the wall!

We've all seen the picture of five Argentines and their handbags. What we don't see is someone lying down behind them or any other silly tactics.

Unfortunately for Aston Villa, their plan to stop Kieran Trippier from scoring on Sunday didn't work. 

Trippier couldn't go over the wall because he was too close. He couldn't go under because John McGinn is having a lie down. His only option is to aim for where the two Newcastle players are standing. 

They are there to block the view of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and will split at the last moment. 

Trippier's task, therefore, is to blast the ball into the gap they leave.
