That was after the Milan game. When Villa played as a 9. That was the first time he said he preferred playing with a 9 in front of him, iirc. Around the time the false 9 position was being neutralized.
He never seemed all that keen on going back to RW until this season and he didnt run enough to be an attack midfielder. So putting a CF in team was almost not an option other than the overly attacking Milan formation.
