villa89 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Really need to get a win here to get back on track after a poor performance and a disappointing loss. Grealish has to start if fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) We face a team with a great league record against us at Villa Park. Of the 8 games they have played at B6 they have only lost once (2-0 five years ago) and they won half of these games including a 3-0 victory on their last visit in December 2012 before their relegation put a stop to these games. They will be back on Saturday and we really do need to put the Leeds result behind us and maintain our unbeaten home record. I would start Ayew for Gestede and Bacuna for Hutton. I really hope that Baker, McCormack and Tshibola will soon be fit enough to challenge for a starting place and would seriously look at starting the first one of these if not all three for this one if they were. Good away records are there to be broken so its 2-1 to us then. Edited December 5, 2016 by John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be noted that 2 of those matches (1 win and 1 draw) were under the guidance of one Steve Bruce. And for completion's sake, let's remember the 5-0 thrashing we gave them at VP in the league cup in 94 With Nii Lamptey getting on the scoresheet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 We have our first loss under Bruce, can make some changes now without worrying about ruining momentum. Bacuna back in and Westwood back to the bench plz. Gestede to the bench too plz. kthxbai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Id like to see Bruce go more attacking. We arent scoring enough to win games consistently. We are playing against a lot of shit teams defensively and rarely score more than 2. Gollini Bacuna Chester Baker Amavi Tshibola Jedinak Grealish Adomah McCormack Kodjia Our back four is good enough not to concede more than 1. That team will score goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 6, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 6, 2016 For me: ------------------Gollini--------------------- Hutton-----Baker-------Chester----Amavi -----------------Jedinak-------------------- ------Bacuna------------Westwood------- Adomah---------------------------Grealish -----------------Kodjia--------------------- Subs: Bunn, Elphick, Gardner, Ayew, Cissokho, Agbonlahor, Tshibola I'd like to have been able to put Gestede on that bench in fairness. I worry for McCormack - I think he'll struggle to make the bench in our current system. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why he can't start in the central role. Kodjia and Adomah in the wide forward roles. If it's not working.. goto a 442.. with Mac and Kodjia up top and Jack/Adomah wide.
