westholmevillan Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I've seen nothing from Sinclair yet that says he should be starting. I'm also not sure that Benteke did enough in his sub outing to start. If we can find a way to replace Cleverly in the middle, I'd be delighted - other than that, same team as against Chelsea for me. But Sinclair has only had about 30 mins of game time....surely, too soon to judge! Edited February 9, 2015 by westholmevillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Got a feeling this will be 2-2. I know it seems absurd that we could score that many goals against prem opposition but i think both teams will be fired up, get carried away and there'll be many defensive mistakes. Hull will see this as an absolutely huge opportunity to kick on in their relegation battle and hopefully we will rally together after Saturday's performance and actually start to show some fight.

flamingsombrero Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Mahoosive!! Despite the result we'll go into it buoyed by the Chelsea performance but then they'll be up too from the point at Man City. Time for talk from Villa players and Lambert is over. Don't tell me how well you supposedly did, SHOW ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hull are terrible they will pack the midfield and just kick our players to pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about where I am. I wouldn't be against SInclair starting, but a sub appearance against a team like Hull might actually be a better option. Sanchez to come back in for Cleverley and I'd be happy with the same team as Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't think Sinclair has had enough match time to start. Benteke has to play, don't know who for! Sanchez for Cleverly, maybe or stick with the same midfield as they didn't do too badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think people saying it's Lambert's biggest ever game are exaggerating - Hull at home last year was bigger. That said, we can't afford to lose. I think we'd better go 433 again: Guzan Hutton Okore Clark Cissokho Westwood Sanchez Delph Gil Weimann Agbonlahor Benteke to come on after 60 mins for whoever has done least out of Gabby and Weimann 1-1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Guzan Hutton vlaar clark cissokho gil Sanchez delph Gabby Benteke Sinclair This for me. We have problems getting the ball forward. Playing Westwood/Sanchez with cleverly and Delph is a massive issue. We need Gil on the ball in the centre with another attacker upfront. We don't need three defensive midfielders.

Isa Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I believe we'll win, or won't lose at least. This is the sort of game that Lambert usually pulls out of the hat. I'd go for: Guzan | Hutton Okore Clark Cissokho | Westwood Sánchez Delph | Gil Benteke Sinclair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7392craig Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'd like to see Gill, Westwood and Delph in midfield, with 2 of Gabby, Weimann or Sinclair either side of Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'd like to see Gill, Westwood and Delph in midfield, with 2 of Gabby, Weimann or Sinclair either side of Benteke Not for this one. I'd happily set up like that against Leicester at the weekend but our first priority has to be not losing this game, and then let's see if we can win it.

Actually not a bad shout I reckon. They'll hardly get out their half so we probably could do without full backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you but look how we've done so far setting up 'not to lose'. The best way to ensure you don't lose is score more than your opponent, so that midfield 3 should be fine considering there is a whole back 4 behind them.

AshVilla Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) We can't set ourselves up not to lose against Hull that will play right into Bruce's hands We have to attack them like we have done previously and get the early goal like we did at VP this season when we played them and hound them like we did with Jbowz in the previous season If we sit back and let Hull grow into the game and nick a goal i think we will struggle to equalize Edited February 9, 2015 by AshVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
