Shocked to see such a defensive approach. If I'm wrong, then hats off to Mcleish.
A bench of Nzog, Bannan, Delph and Ireland - must be a little more creativity there surely.
I reckon a back 6 - the usual 4 plus Carlos and Heskey, Herd sweeping up in Midfield. Gabby wide right to tempt away some players, Bent wide left to pick up another couple of markers. This leaves Petrov to show off his newly found super pace and sprint at them for 90 mins.
4-0 to Villa - Three 60 yard screamers from Petrov and a last minute header from Given. You heard it here.
