I have far from reason to feel shame, But I dont want to get too personal here. Villa will no doubt p*** me off when I watch the highlights tomorrow. Haha im only joking mate I'm not looking forward to tonight at all. Half wish I had decided to take the missus out instead! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get Bacuna in at RB and put Amavi back in but Bruce isn't going to do that is he. I can't see us winning any of our next 3 games. Replace Hutton and put Amavi in instead of Taylor if Bruce is going to play that formation then that's Villa's best team but is Bruce going to do it? If he wants to start picking up points and save his job then he has to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 If Bruce has any noose about himself he'll replace SJ with Bunn, set up to play on the front foot avoid the "shots-an-mass" at Bunn. A clean sheet would mean so much to the defence in front of him and Bunn himself. We may then have slight chance of containing Toon on monday. Sitting back and hoofing it, even Rimmy Jimmer wouldnt keep a clean sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'm already worried. If we lose this I'll be very worried indeed. This could be a make or break game for Bruce. Also, I'm missing this one so it's bound to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted February 14, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 14, 2017 So today I am the manager and I'm selecting Bunn Elphick Chester Baker Bacuna Thor Lansbury Hourihane Amavi Hogan Kodjia Subs: Loanee / Hutton / Taylor / Grealish / RHM / Green / Adomah Without Bree and Jedi I think it's pretty much as good to push for a win as we have and also shows that this squad is better than it is perfroming and without doubt questions need to be raised about that should it continue. Calderwood ..... I'm looking firmly in your direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've never said anything other than if things don't improve then he'll have to go. if we lose tonight, then I think we'll lose to Newcastle too and we may never recover from that. Hence why it's make or break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think we may see a change in formation and go to 4-4-2. Johnstone Hutton, Chester, Baker, Taylor Adomah, Lansbury, Hourihane, Thor Kodjia, Hogan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnstone Hutton, Chester, Baker, Taylor Adomah, Lansbury, Hourihane, Thor Kodjia, Hogan Might make sense. Bruce knows and trusts it, and those players should be good enough. The slight worry is always around the defensive midfield. It's not something that comes naturally to Lansbury. But that side should still have enough about them.

chrisvilla4 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Off out for valentines so will miss the game. Yes! Woohoo! Fantastic! Party time #freeatlast (Will be sneaking to toilet with my phone) 3-0 villa!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Perhaps Villa will surprise us and win a game comfortably. Perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't think we've put a single good performance in (relative to how we've been this season) playing 4-4-2 this season. I know we have new midfielders but it still worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnstone Hutton, Chester, Baker, Taylor Adomah, Lansbury, Hourihane, Thor Kodjia, Hogan My thoughts too. I'm convinced he will change it, He MUST realise we have been taking the wrong approach. I fully expect a transformed side tonight to come out and really show what we can do when these - very decent players - go out with plenty of attacking intent. My own preference would be Bacuna and Amavi as full backs as I just think we need a much more 'Kevin keegan' approach to it all - but he wont do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted February 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2017 how's about... -------------------------------- Johnstone ----------------------------------- --------------- Chester ------- Elphick -------- Baker ------------------- Adomah ------------ Lansbury ----- Hourihane -------------- Amavi --------------------------------- Grealish ------------------------------------ ----------------------- Hogan ------------ Kodija -------------------------- ... not sure I want to go 4-4-2. There's arguably 7 attacking players there, so it shouldn't be seen as a negative thing this 3 at the back lark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we've already discovered Adomah can't play as a wing back, Bacuna would be a better option in that formation in my opinion. He can defend well and also deliver a better cross (see 14/15 and the amount of crosses he put in that Benteke benefited from) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
