AVTuco

Our guys are really fighting for the ball, level of effort is great!

Bentekeeeeeee

Gabby again!

Hope Luna gets his head straight. Decision making doesn't seem to be his strenght.

That's entertainment!

Our counters look dangerous, but our defense is both mentally and physically inept.

Better get used to it I think that will be our whole season.  Bring it on !!

The way we fall back when the opposition closes in on our penalty box is scaring the **** out of me.

OMG our D!!!

I'm trying not to get excited because I know it's very unlikely.

Too bad it's a loan instead of a sale. That means that this arguing will go on during the season and finally flame up again next summer when Bent's loan is about to expire.

Let's just make sure not to overreact no matter the result

Where's the fun in that?

I want to see Helenius in and KEA out. Probably won't happen but there's so much more potential in Helenius than KEA.

It will be very exciting, that's for sure. UTV!

I'm starting to dislike Bent now since it's his fault this boring thread doesn't end.

Am I the only one who doesn't think a loan deal is that bad ( assuming they take on his wages )? He's at the lowest low of his market value right now. If he has a good season then his value might go up and thus Villa would be able to get a better offer than what has been on the table this summer.

Sounds good to me too!

Thanks for keeping us up Darren - all the best

Probably not this season, hopefully next, I think.

I'm happy we hung on to the end and won. Even if it was a friendly, a young team can build on this aswell.

Didn't see Okore's OG. Was it a glaring mistake or just tough luck?

 

Seeing as AVTV don't seem to be able to manage replays I can't say for sure, but mostly the mistake was made by Luna allowing the rather good Pawlowski past him iirc. Okore could have done better, but had a pretty good game and I think he'll be excellent.

 

Luna is a very good footballer, but not necessarily much of a defender.

Thanks. Didn't mean to put down Okore.

WIN!!!!

I think Con thought a 'false 9' was the same as a number 10.

 

Yes I did, now I've corrected the chart. I agree that Benteke could also play the false 9 role.

 

 

Weimann

                 

Agbonlahor

Helenius or Benteke

Delph

 

Clark

 

Westwood

Luna

       

Vlaar

   

Okore

       

Lowton

Guzan

 

Benteke as a false 9?

 

Are you absolutely mental?

Thanks for your answer.

Can't Benteke be a False 9 then, if you don't need to be a midfielder?

Ah sorry should've clarified I'm saying Hes better.

Can't say I agree with that, but I'm in the minority so I think I'll shut up now

For your own sake on this board, yes you should shut up now.

However, for the sake of this board, you shouldn't. At least I want to see what happens when you start that discussion.

Where does the "fight and do cocaine" reference come from in the first place?

Thanks for asking the question I haven't had the courage to ask. Waiting for an answer..
