sonic_bouma Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 This season it seems every other game somebody gets injured within 24 hours before the game and doesn't even make the bench Glad Benteke is back though If Fulhams forward line aren't at the races then we have a chance If they play well we concede 3 or 4 coz that back four of ours is nothing short of a liability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain4Life Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I can only conclude Kozak is injured. Else no-one with a brain would pick *not even good enough for our U17 team* Helenius ahead of Kozak, imho. And *fingers crossed* Herd will shine for the first team. I think 4-3-3 is ambitious, but personally I'd rather seen a 4-4-2 or even 3-5-2 again .. Without Vlaar, we need all the players in defence, we can get, if we are to get a result. *worried* *still selling this one for a boring boring draw* Edited December 8, 2013 by Villain4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regular_john Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Kozak was fine against Southampton. He was hardly going to shine when we couldn't keep the ball for more than 7 seconds. He got the goal, not sure what else he could have done? Must be injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Looks like were doing everything we can to make fulham break their duck in regards to team selection Hope im wrong Herd is not premiership standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I have a feeling that Herd will pop up with a goal today for some reason. UTV!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nice minute long section on a 32 year old Berbatov on Sky, missing a load of shots, the man for us to watch apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Don't expect a result today with that defense, it's perfect for Berbatov to have his one game of the season so the London press can write something tomorrow morning. Not too fussed though, I'd be happy with a draw given the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjaacckk91 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 benteke find those scoring boots son, we might need them. hoping its 3 at the back, because herd at cb in a back 4 scares make for a good game with lots of goals though, and still think we'd do em over =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 We've only lost 1, yes 1 game away from home this season and that was against Chelsea at the Bridge, a game that we probably should have won if not got a point from. We won't lose today. But Southampton hadn't lost at home before they played us. Football isn't that straight forward. Southampton were playing against a team who had only lost 1 game away from home though. Today we're against a team that has lost 8 games in their last 10, Hangeland is out injured, they've lost 6 on the bounce. If anything maybe they'll get a draw, but I don't understand what evidence points to us being ruled as losers? Lawro thinks we'll lose, even Merson on Sky is saying playing against us is the start of their season now. Talk about writing us off for no reason! I get what you are saying... I just know I have seen this from Villa so many times. Players get their first goals... teams break their ducks.. Newcastle at VP last year for their first (and last?) away win for example. Plus we are poor without Vlaar and cannot defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical london media bias You would think we were the side who hadn't won for 7 games what a joke Exactly, that section that Sky just did on Berbatov sums it up. How can you bang on about Berbatov being the danger man with a bunch of clips showing him MISS the goal. Team A (Home): Lost 6 games in a row, hasn't won for 7 games, 'best striker' has scored 1 goal all season. Currently 19th in the league. Team B (Away): Unbeaten in 5 games, have only lost 1 away game all season. Currently 10th in the league. Favourites to win across a wide spectrum of pundits? Team A! Not sure if serious.

Avfc96 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Herd is not premiership quality, nowhere near it. Kozak has to be injuried otherwise he should have started in front of Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I expect Herd will start at CB. Stronger and better in the air than Lowton so makes sense, positionally both are pretty poor at CB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
