Targett no mug, played in every game under Gerrard until Jan 10th, played 19 games in total 2021/22 season before Newcastle came sniffing & so they got Digne in sharpish, Digne made his Aston Villa debut on 15 January 2022.

Targett was the only outfield player to start all 2020/21 - 38 PL matches & was voted Villa's Players' Player of the Season by his teammates in 2020/21.

Under Dean Smith Villa played 4-3-2-1 & full backs played same roles for him.

Gerrard at Rangers used same 4-3-2-1 tactical formation to effect.

Younger brother often watches PL & world leagues Tv-games to study attacking formats & daily reads coaching tactical analysis for his job/career, so it gets passed on to me if I ask.
