It has to be this squad for me: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Dunne, Bennett, N'Zogbia, Westwood, KEA, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Benteke
with Ireland subbed on second half...
*If Dunne isnt back then swap him for Clark*
He's only looked crap when he's had to play alongside Bannan (Bannan hides from the ball/loses possession)
KEA's got tekkers, i would start him over Bannan anyday.
I disagree.
Bennett and Bowery still have potential and we got KEA dirt cheap... regardless of how much Bowery develops/improves, we'll still get more than double what we paid for him.
So the stats say in descending order that Delph, Westwood and Bannan are all capable of passing the ball. We need a strong defensive mid capable of tackling to make a duo with either of them, this would surely sort out the midfields defensive problems, then the next problem to sort out would be attacking mid but N'Zogbia's looked great the last couple of games so this problem might go away on it's own.
Newcastle squad:
............................Krul
Debuchy...Coloccini....Mbiwa.....Santon/Haidara
....................Tiote......Sissoko
Ben Arfa............Cabaye...........Gouffran
...........................Cisse
I don't think we'll take any points from the game
Im talking about loaning players, (hence why i put "possible loans") you make it sound like im suggest we buy them with no funds, If we enquired about all of those players to loan, then one of those clubs is bound to say "yes" considering we can offer there players some experience of playing in the toughest league of the world. (if you don't ask then you don't get)
The players are lethargic in the second halfs because they use up all their energy in the first half chasing down the ball "naive" trying to win back possession, but only teams like barcelona can do this tactic properly because they can keep possession of the ball longer once theyve won it... so that the players can get a breather.
Ive said this before, Villa need better medical staff because we always seem to have the highest number of injuries in the PL.
p.s. it looks as though hardly anyone looks through the site issues section, wouldn't it be a better idea if you made a poll in the main VT section? (asking whether people would prefer a better liking system)
When i say a bigger site i mean, more well known. (the more well known it is, the more people that will use the site and with the more people that use the site the more likely people are to donate)
When i say it will use up fewer pages, im implying, people who put "I agree" or "this" could just "Like" a post which would stop people collectively having to read through pages of it and just read through the interesting parts. (in the the transfer thread im guessing theres probably about a sixth of the pages that are "this" or "I agree".... less of that equals less bs to read through.
Am i having a laugh erm...no
-1st choice ST for manu Van Persie, 2nd Rooney, 3rd Henandez, 4th Welbeck (realistic imo)
-Ahead of Jardel at Porto is: Maikon, Nicolás Otamendi, then their subs are Rolando and Jardel, then in reserves is Abdoulaye Ba, we could probably loan Ba too.
-Callejón started a few games in the cup ahead of Di Maria but thats about it.
-Muniain has been on the bench mostly this season im sure.
-Varane has only been started while Pepe was injured. (im sure he was loan listed at the start of the season too)
In terms of recruitment, he insists the loan market is “not something I’d disregard”.
I still believe a few Loans could keep us up...
Possible Loans:
Pogba-Juventus (CDM)
Luca Marrone-Juventus (CDM)
Gustavo-Bayern Munich (CDM)
Nevstadter-Schalke (CDM)
Varane-Real Madrid (CB)
Santana-BVB (CB)
Rolando-Porto (CB)
Jardel-Porto (CB)
Raúl Albiol-Real Madrid (CB)
Remy Cabella-Montpellier (CAM)
Leitner-BVB (CAM)
Thiago-Barca (CAM)
Marko Marin-Chelsea (CAM/WINGER)
Muniain-Bilbao (CAM/WINGER)
Shaqiri-Bayern Munich (CAM/WINGER)
Scott Sinclair-Man City (WINGER)
Callejón-Real Madrid (WINGER/ST)
Guidetti-Man City (ST)
Welbeck-Man U (ST)
I don't understand why people kept saying they wanted Vegard Forren from Molde, when villa have been scouting Basel who have Dragovic a better CB imo.
Basel>Molde
We've been linked to Scott Sinclair on loan a few times now (I'd be happy if we got him, even though a winger shouldn't be our first priority)
I played 1 match on legendary difficulty but it became boring quickly, Manager Mode had me hooked for a while when the game first came out, but it started to become too repetitive after a couple of seasons.
