OutByEaster? Posted August 18, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think I'd leave Gabby in for the moment on the basis of his ability to play all three of the attacking spots. I'd move Westwood up next to Delph and drop Richardson, who did okay on his debut but would be the one to miss out in order to bring Sanchez in for me. Maybe then add Cole as a sub for Westwood late on if we're chasing it. ---------------------Guzan-------------------- Hutton---Senderos-------Vlaar----Cissokho --------------------Sanchez-------------------- ----------Westwood--------Delph------------- Weimann-----------------------------N'Zogbia ------------------Agbonlahor------------------ Subs Given, Okore, Baker, Richardson, Grealish, Bacuna, Cole There are some good players that might not make our match day squad in a months time - for me, the likes of Bent, Clark, Baker, Bennett and Al Ahmadi might struggle to make the bench once Benteke and Kozak are back - and that sort of competition for places bodes well for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bunnski Posted August 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2014 We actually can't lose on Saturday if The Rock plays. That would be the 4 baldies at the back with The Rocks afro and Keanos beast beard on the sideline. 10-0 Villa 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I would play a 4-1-3-2 Sanchez coming in as defensive mid in front of the human wall, nzogbia, Delph, Westwood in the 3 and bent and Weimann up top. Cabella will take some stopping if his debut is anything to go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Going to be a very difficult one. Newcastle are a lot more tricky going forward so we'll need the back 4 to be as strong as they were on Saturday. Hopefully Sanchez will be ready to play so we can add that little bit more solidity infront of the defence and allow Delph/whoever else is in midfield the opportunity to get forward. Weimann will probably hold his place after scoring V Stoke, but I'd drop Gabby for this one. He's not as useful at home where we can't rely on counter attacking, although he might be useful as a late sub if the game is still 0-0. Guzan Hutton Vlaar Senderos Cissokho Sanchez N'zogbia Westwood Delph Bent Weimann I think that'd be okay. I can't see Lambert dropping Westwood, and I doubt he'll play Cole this weekend.

AVTuco Posted August 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2014 Newcastle looked good against city and Cabella looks like a great signing so I hope sanchez is fit enough to start. A bit controversial maybe but would it be wise to start Okore to match the pace they have going forward. Senderos was excellent against stoke but I could see Newcastle causing real problems when attacking us. Would not change the back four. Hell no. Would be a crime the way they played.

Rugeley Villa Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 hope a decent crowd turn up and we turn the volume notch up, going to be a tough game which i think we will win 2.1 or draw at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Anybody know how the ticket sales are looking so far? Really hoping that Sanchez plays, Lambert says its down to how he feels personally so if he says he's ready to go I imagine he'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'd play a diamond I think with Sanchez at the base and Cole at the tip. Bent to replace Gabby up top with Weimann.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Anybody know how the ticket sales are looking so far? . Nope but id imagine it will be near on a full house given its the first home game, we actually won and played well last week, and we have something of a "marquee" signing hoping to make his debut. We need to keep the momentum going. I myself will be up the boozer early doors as I dont have BT sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Weimann have to play upfront, if the past seasons has told us something it is that he's not a winger. I think everytime hes played as a striker he has done well,i would go with this lineup: --------------------Guzan--------------------- Hutton---Senderos---Vlaar---Cissokho -------------------Sanchez--------------------- --------------Westwood---Delph-------------- N'Zogbia--------------------------Agbonlahor --------------------Weimann----------------------- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2014 2-0 to Newcastle. They have a better team than we do unfortunately. We've been poor at home for a long time now. With Benteke and Kozak injured, and no attacking midfielder, I think we will struggle. I'd take a 0-0 all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 In a way this is a bigger test than the Stoke game. Its our home form which was the major problem last season so its imperative we get off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is we are on about 33/34k and think it may push up to about 36 come match day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
