Phumfeinz Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I just want to see our best possible first team so we have an idea of where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) #AVFC: Guzan, Clark, Baker, Okore, Hutton, Delph, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Richardson, Weimann, Agbonlahor #avfc subs @WFCOfficial Given, Lowton, Senderos, Herd, Bennett, Stevens, Gardner, Bacuna, N'Zogbia, Tonev, Grealish, Robinson Think that will be a 4-3-1-2 - sadly, with Clark playing LB again. .................Guzan Hutton, Okore, Baker, Clark ....Westwood.KEA.Delph .............Richardson .........Weimann.Gabby Then again, it could be a 3-5-2 ..........................Guzan ................Okore.Clark.Baker Hutton.Westwood.KEA.Delph.Richardson ...................Gabby.Weimann Vlaar not even on the subs bench - hope he appears for part of the Parma match! No Darren Bent either.... is he off-ski? Edited August 5, 2014 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Could be a number of formations then.. My guess would be 3-5-2 Okore Clark Baker Hutton Delph Westwood KEA Richardson Weimann Gabby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 All I want is to see Vlaar & Okore, that's all. Really Paul, that's all I want. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Second half, I'd love to see us finish with a front 4 (well 3 behind the striker) of ...........Robinson Tonev.Grealish.N'Zogbia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) 3-5-2 then from the looks of it. And presumably our starting X1 by the looks of it too. Vlaar instead assuming he comes back obviously. Edited August 5, 2014 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think N'Zogbia and Vlaar will replace either Baker or Clark and either Gabby or Weimann Think we'll have a better idea Saturday against Parma but agree, the starting XI is practically out there tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlaar instead assuming he comes back obviously. Think Okore is getting extra minutes because of his injury and Senderos/Vlaar are still both not long back from Brazil, reckon second half we'll have Okore, Senderos and Vlaar as our back 3.

samjp26 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) According to Jack its a 4-4-2 :/ no Vlaar either? 3-5-2 then from the looks of it.

jayEm Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Has Richardson played at left back yet? Am I completely wrong in thinking that it's his main position? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Not the strongest line up, would definitely start N'zogbia, but maybe we're trying to be careful not to injure him given that he's not played for so long until recently. Hopefully we'll give him and Grealish a go in the second half. I'd have liked to have seen Gardner gain some more minutes here too; it's about time we saw what he can do.

mikeyp102 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) It appears Richardson wasn't signed as our lb or wing back. Seems weird to have him that attacking. Thought Nzog would've started as he only seems to come off the bench, hopefully just a fitness thing. Edited August 5, 2014 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Julie B has just had a tweet shown on the AVTV feed. Surprisingly, no mention of Dale Stevens though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 thing for me is, we have Clark playing LB tonight (allegedly) whilst having both Bennett and Stevens on the bench who both play left back. Second half, if we change all of the starting XI we'll end up with a CB pairing of Senderos and Herd (!) and playing one of our LB's out of position. I know pre-season is about fitness and getting game time under the belt but how about a bit of balance across the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
