NottingVilla Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Samba/Terry I do not trust.....got a feeling Green will score for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't prepared for this That was my thought as well. Hopefully he's looking at it totally flummoxed having spent all week training to play against our previously successful line up. Maybe he is also going WTF? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in an emergency, either Chester or Elmohamady can play there depending on whether or not you're Martin O'Neill. I've seen nothing to suggest that Elmohamady is a better right winger than Adomah - I thought Snodgrass was left sided and would compete with Green on that side. Whichever, I don't want our second best right winger playing ahead of our three best right backs at right back - it smacks of shoehorning him into the side. Elmo played there most of the time for Hull. He's ahead of Hutton (who isn't) and probably fresher than Bree and RDL who played midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully his back goes into spasm again I can't stand him & have no idea how he is still here but chucking him on for 10-15 minutes against tired players still seems to have an impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 My first thought is completely baffled My fan thought is "I hope this works" My religious side is "God, please let this work" My intellectual side is "I can't wait to see how this plays out, should be interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 After last season fiasco with 5 at the back, I'd be surprised if we were playing 5 at the back, I'm expecting to see Chester right back and Samba and Terry central. Which leaves me worried, I'll go mental if we play our normal defensive sh?t tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm not saying shit about this formation.. Many Villa fans threw their toys out of the pram last Saturday at Bruce's selection namely Davis.. Many Villa fans threw their toys out of the pram on Tuesday at Bruce's selection namely for playing "a weak team full of kids" I'll complain after full time if there is any reason to as the last two games have made many fans to look foolish. I am amazed so many fans are yet again throwing their toys out of the pram.. Have you not learned from last Saturday? We don't know shit.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Pretty much what most of the Bruce out lot are moaning about, shit defensive formation away from home, to do it at the end of a week when we've played 2 attacking formations and scored 8 goals is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I can't think of many questions where Samba is the answer. This strikes most of us as an absurd team/formation considering everything we know and have seen in recent weeks. So let's see who wins in a Armchair fan vs Paid Manager fight!

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Looks like a 3-5-2 with Taylor and Elmo as wingbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2017 On paper it's a 5-1-2-2 with a left back who isn't great getting forward, a right back who isn't great defensively and a winger up front. I'm going for a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
