supermon Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 ---------------Guzan----------------Hutton---Richards-----Clark-----AmaviGueye----Westwood ----Veretout------Ayew-------------Sinclair--------------------Gestede-------------- Great minds. Thirded. Pretty good side for Grealish, Gil to fight their way back in to with I imagine another couple of signings on the horizon. Fourthded, which I am aware isn't a word. Based on who's fit at present that would be my team for Bournemouth although it wouldn't surprise me to see Gabby in for Gestede. Fifthded.

He's a box to box midfielder that also played a more attacking role last season and thrived. He's like Veretout in that he can play as a DM just as well as he can play as an AM. We have a very versatile midfield all things considered with both Sinclair and Ayew being as much AM's as they could be FW's. Only Westwood is the single role player but he plays that role so well it's not a fault in his game in the slightest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 7, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2015 it doesnt matter if hes been terrible or if we agree that he should not play at cb, fact is, sherwood clearly plans on playing him there as one of our main two this season. Well yeah actually it does matter that he has been terrible, if he plays like he did in his last two games on Saturday then there will be uproar from Villa fans. Sherwood making him captain worries me a lot but not as much as Sherwood thinking he's a centre back. I think people are picking who they think will play there. Not who they would like to play there. I don't think there's any doubting the fact that Sherwood is going to put the new captain in at centreback whether we like it or not. If I had my way he'd probably be on the right alongside Clark and Okore (when he's fit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feidhlim Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 ----------------------Guzan Hutton------Richards-------Clark---------Amavi ----------Westwood----------veretout Sinclair-------------Gueye-------------Ayew ---------------------gestede I think he will find a place for Bacuna instead of Veretout and play 433 with the ball and 451 without.

Dante_Lockhart Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I still think we'll see Veretout on the bench for a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know but still doesn't stop me having issue with it as he has been terrible but yeah I'm sure he will start there also, hopefully he has learned quickly from his mistakes in pre season and if he hasn't then hopefully Sherwood moves him to right back sharpish.

ejs1111 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 hello everyone- new poster... 25yr long Villa fan from USA. Been reading VT for years. My understanding is Gil is injured and I read the Grealish is playing in a youth game Friday? If true- that would mean neither are available for Saturday to me. My lineup assumes that players who have not played in pre-season are still eligible to play Saturday. I'm hopeful TS will play the best players, the new guys are kids... so I have a tough time envisioning them not being 'fit' for a match. 442 diamond for me- 2 attackers up top and FBs for width to really go after Bourne tomorrow. I don't think we will see wingers used until Gil and Grealish are healthy and ready to play behind the striker(s). Villa 3-1 victory for me. UTV!!! ------------------Guzan------------------ Bacuna---Richards---Clark---Amavi ----------------Westwood--------------- -----Gana----------------Veretout----- ------------------Ayew------------------- -------Gestede---------Sinclair-------- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 7, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2015 Welcome ! Using those personnel I'd probably have Sinclair alongside Ayew behind Gestede up on his own. And I see you using Gana. Very accurate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Indeed that's the XI I'd pick if Gil and Grealish aren't ready. I like the idea of Gestede with Sinclair off him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Might not be the team I'd pick, but think it will be: ------------------Guzan------------------ Hutton---Richards---Clark---Amavi ---------Gueye---Westwood--------- Bacuna-----------------------Sinclair ------------------Ayew---------------- -----------------Kozak---------------- Edited August 7, 2015 by dAVe80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) VILLA: Bunn, Hutton, Richards ©, Clark, Amavi, Westwood, Gueye, Sanchez, Bacuna, Sinclair, Kozak. Subs: Guzan, Gestede, Baker, Veretout, Ayew, Agbonlahor, Cole. That's how I think Sherwood will line up tomorrow. He seems to (sadly) rate Bacuna in advanced positions and I also think he'll go with Bunn in goal. Too early for Veretout and Gestede to start though. We'll miss both Grealish and Gil as well.

Mr_Dogg Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Gueye will always play in the 2 in midfield IMO, whatever the shape around them might be, he has the energy for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Let's revive this thread. With Gil and Grealish (hopefully) coming back into the fold and new signings looking more likely (Traore, Praet?), who will miss out? Tim can't have promised all new signings constant first team football. I reckon Ayew will need time, as would Traore by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
