They dont have a better squad than us. They work harder than us. Don't think many would argue with that. They are without ego. The team comes first. Jury still out on this villa side in that regard.

Sam-AVFC Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Some of you must find life so stressful! Criticising and disagreeing I get, but when you’re spamming new criticisms every 30 seconds it comes across as slightly histrionic. For what it’s worth I think it’s time to give someone else a go up front. I really don’t see a massive problem with any of the other selections - I get the Hause worries too but I think he gives much better balance to Engels than Konsa because of his physicality. I imagine the ones worried about Lansbury are the people who rave about Luiz regardless of how he actually plays. Edit - just seen @screwdriver’s post and now I’m worried about Lansbury starting Edited December 14, 2019 by Sam-AVFC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a particular tactical plan which has been outlayed? Do these players suit that plan? Maybe those players could click?, Will be interesting to see how this plays out, it could go well, and it could not, hoping for the best!" As opposed to predicting doom before a ball is kicked and calling everybody including the manager shit. Some of you almost WANT it to go badly so you can prove yourselves right and pat yourselves on the back. I bet some of you are having wet dreams at the thought of Wesleys first mis control as well. lol You’ve created one hell of a strawman there I’ll give you that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa wasn't awful Leicester were just bloody good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 14, 2019 Moderator Share Posted December 14, 2019 In fairness, the manager has made two choices - he's picked Hause and Engels over Konsa and he's picked Lansbury over Luiz - that's all. It's not some sort of radical reshuffle. For all we know Luiz and Konsa might have had colds this week - as it is, he's gone for a left sided centre back and more forward thinking centre mid - it's not like he's got his pants on his head, a cucumber up his jacksy and he keeps repeating the word "papple". It's just a couple of choices with a squad that has limited depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm still in shock I'm a Henri fan but not as a starter. He must have had a worldly week in training. DS this is on you now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I saw the team and thought this will cause some moaning on villa talk. I don’t care what the team is, that’s why we have a squad, only surprised that Conor isn’t in the squad but there’s probably a reason. In Dean I trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith likes a right and left footer as a CB pairing so Hause makes complete sense. I like Luiz but it's not as if we're dominating the midfield battles so a good opportunity for Lansbury to take his chance. Wesley was never going to be dropped. We don't have any other viable option, Kodjia isn't any better and Davis isn't fit. Trezeguet at striker is just ridiculous. Wesley as a footballer is even more ridiculous.

DS this is on you now. To be fair the vast majority of our team are not playing at a level were getting dropped is beneath them. If Lansbury has put his hand up in training and earned his start that way, fair play to him. That's how training should be anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Not sure I can think of team less suited for Lansbury to play against than Sheffield United, even less confident of a positive result now. Hope he has a good game though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I think it was plain to see that midfield needed a shake up. Lansbury has been very good when he’s played this season, granted in the cup; but didnt he get 5 assists in 2 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
