VILLA: Friedel; Cuellar, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Young, Milner, Petrov, Downing; Heskey, Agbonlahor. Subs: L Young, Sidwell, Carew, Delfouneso, Delph, Guzan, Beye Hmm, no Reo-Coker in the squad. Injured or on the way out?

4-5-1 for me. Guzan Beye Collins Cuellar Warnock Albrighton Sidwell NRC Delph Young Delfouneso

I think we will lose this, its just typical for us. 2-0 Sunderland

When the **** has Sidwell ever won the ball or Reo Coker been able to pass the ball properly after winning it in order to create a quick attack. You are blinded by your belief that Petrov, our best player last season and one of our best this season is somehow shit and that Reo-Coker is the second coming of Gheorghe Hagi. Did you watch the Bolton game, did you see the all important first goal early on? Oh wait, what happened there, that's right, Sidwell won a tackle in the middle of the park, got it wide and 10 seconds later were 0-1 up. Not just winning tackles but also putting players under pressure because of his very good work rate. Reo-Coker, well clearly as remember I counted the passes in the Peace Cup, he had something like 34 passes succesful out of 37. He wins the ball and passes it simple and keeps the ball. The pass of the ball isn't the key in the attack, it's the winning of the ball, Bolton have the ball in midfield and look to attack, Bolton wingers as usually are, are pushed up which means as soon as we win the ball, a simply 10/15 yard pass into Young/Milner or whatever and they have a one on one with their defender and we break. With Petrov in the team, it's a rarity we win the ball back in midfield which means when we do win the ball back, it's usually deep in our half meaning Bolton have time to re-organise. Petrov isn't shit, and Reo-Coker isn't the second coming of Gheorge Hagi but it's clear to me were stronger with those two in the team rather than Petrov. Just look at the results in a 4-4-2. Sidwell and Reo-Coker - Peace Cup - Win, Win, Draw (Win on pens) Sidwell and Reo-Coker - League - Win 5-1. Petrov and Barry - Shit. Petrov and Delph - Shit. Petrov and Sidwell - Pretty shit (2 wins in like 7?) Now what's the common factor in that? Please tell me what Petrov does in a 4-4-2? He doesn't score goals, defensively he's average and he passes the ball backwards all the time. Okay Sidwell hasn't been scoring or making goals but at least he can run around, pressurise players, make forward runs to give space to other players and generally to a decent box to box role. Petrov can stand around the pitch, get the ball deep, pass it back, get the ball again, pass the ball back. Let the midfield run past him. Yeah nice. This. Completly agree with AVFC on this. Sad thing is Petrov will start.... I think Petrov is a better player than both Sidwell and NRC but Sidwell and NRC is a better combo than Petrov with any of our other CM's. Strange, it really is....

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Oh so very wrong.

I would. Sorry to say this but I think we will lose.

Somewhere between 26-35. I am now 33 years and have been with the same woman for 5 years and I have a 2 year old son. Loving every minute of it! But there was some fun times when I was young!

We will play a similar team as today I reckon.

Hello General! My first contribution to this thread (I think) I would just like to say thank you, to you, to Randy and the board for once again backing MON in the transfer window. IMO we have had a great window with great players signed. We have strengthen were we needed it most, at the back. Dunne, Collins and Warnock super signings! Once again, thank you! We are looking good!!

Good win! Positives: *Three points *Gabby scored a goal again *Ciaran Clark, didnt put a foot wrong *Cuellar, likewise didnt put a foot wrong *A home win *Milner great performance Negatives: *Gabbys shit performance (bar the goal) *Our complete lack of movement *Attendance

I´m a pessmist. I reckon we´ll lose 1-2, Young for us, Demsey 2 for Fulham (if he plays...)

WTF has happend to Davies? He used to be a really good defender IMO

My line up would be: Guzan Beye Cuellar Davies Lowry Albrighton NRC Young Gardner Milner Carew But MON will line up: Guzan Beye Cuellar Davies Shorey Milner Petrov Sidwell Young Agbonlahor Heskey

Yes, we are fifth in league FFS. Who would have done it better?

Liverpool, **** hate them and their fans... Over here in Sweden Liverfool fans are just so stupid, cocky, incorrect, smartasses and ugly. Cant stand them....

This is my first post on this thread! I just want to say keep up the good work General! What a fantastic club Aston Villa is turning out to be with you Sir, Randy, MON and the other boardmembers steering the ship! I´m bloody loving it. For the first time I can remember we wont be held ransom. Damn, I cant get the smile out of my face! :notworthy:

I see Pompey beeing linked to Aliou Diarra from Lyon for 5 million. Maybe worth a try?

Would love it, but I don´t think so...

:nod:

I have never seen him play for Hamburg but I saw alot of him when he played for Ajax, and back then he was bloody awesome! When he played RB he wasn´t afraid at getting forward and he wasn´t afraid to get stuck in! Add to that he has a really good technique (spelling!?!?). At CM he is a real how do you say it - "ball player"? Great passer and as I recall it has a decent shot on him.

The more I think about it the more I like it. I think De Jong would be really really good signing, as I recall it he was one of the best in a young Ajax side a couple of years ago. I used watch all of the Ajax CL matches (because at the time Zlatan was playing for Ajax, and swedish tv was always, always showing the games Zlatan was in) and in those games De Jong always was one of the better performers on the pitch. Would be really pleased if this one comes off.

Nigel Reo-Coker, Wesley Sneijder and Jermain Defoe are set to join Aston Villa this week. Reo-Coker £7, Wesley Sneijder £12m and Jermain Defoe £8m Martin O'Neill - Birmingham Taken from Sky Sports "your view" It must be some truth in it, now we´ve had MON, Randy and the General posting on that site......

Nigel De Jong is a fine player, I would be delighted with that signing if it comes off! I remember him beeing linked with Arsenal a few years back when he was about to leave Ajax. Maybe not "the shiny signing" (read Wesley Sneijder) but perhaps an equally good signing for us as a team?

I think with the Euro qualifiers out of the way and La liga coming to an end we will see a bit more action on transfers! Heres is hoping we will kick off with NRC today and Sneijder early next week

I´m absoultley sure that if we were able to snap such a talent like Samir Nasri up, he wouldn´t play second fiddle behind Berger.
