frustrating first half... looking like it could be one of those days, but we've had the best of the first half and some great chances. Lets hope MON really fires them up during the break

I like the play, he doesn't miss by much

Freekick in a good area

Bit lucky there some days those are counted... so close Carew!

Great passing going on

heskey off injured . lets hope Carew has a big game

i'm watching this on tv... but i'm in Australia so i dont think i'm any help to you

great ball by milner to young... he should have done better

agh so close petrov and gabby

Going for 3-0 with milner, downing brace. Up Villa!

I wouldn't worry too much about that story Madrid have been linked with a truckload of players.

Maybe we should 'rest' Brad Friedel and give Brad Guzan a game. Just to put the shits up Sunderland like. They'd certainly think twice about taking a dive in the box.

problem with resting him is that it breaks his 206 odd game streak.

Collins in for injured Warnock and keep the rest the same. Hopefully we can get into a position where we can take gabby or young off a little early, cause there are a lot of fixtures in a short space of time coming up

Such a great result!! Over the moon right now.

The entire backline was epic, great work by MON .

Now lets use this to really push on for the rest of the season its going to be a good December

While i agree 4-5-1 is a good formation and away from home can we effective against stronger teams, all this talk about our defence being so much stronger in this formation while goals being scored is not effected is rubbish.

Last season we had a bloke call Martin Laursen, do u remember him? he was a great leader, an awesome defender, was our target man in set pieces and most of our great results in the 4-5-1 had him playing. Also Ashley Young and Gabby were in great form.

I Reckon we should go the Liverpool formation 4-2-3-1 with gabby as lone striker and the 3 wingers interchanging in the 3. Wouldn't mind either Reo-coker or Delph as the Defensive midfielders.

The 4 boys up front will have enough pace and skill to cause problems especially with make shift defenders on, plus we'll be less likey to just hoof the ball upfield. and having the extra midfielder should help cut supply off to rooney. Need a Big game from Warnock as well Valencia has been playing well.

Any sign of Carew getting A short spell on for heskey?

Link please, any kind of link

This is definitely a must win game, we haven't picked up as many points in recent weeks as we would have liked and have a tough run coming up.

Plus the boys should really be up for this with Downing coming back and getting into the semis
