AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 You would really start Heskey over Carew?? Heskeys pre-season form has won him quite a few fans it seems. Definately, it's also Ithink he looks changed, alot slimmer, quicker and stronger, more balanced ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holtender1987 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 if their fit then id go with: ...........................Freidel........................... Young........Cuellar........Davies.........Shorey Milner........Petrov.........Reo-Coker.....Young ...........................Delph............................ ...........................Carew........................... Subs: Sidwell Guzan Gabby Heskey Gardner Albrighton Beye Much better bench already compared to last year. We could actually bring people on knowing that they could do some damage. Not even got the Fonz or the injured downing in that squad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenye Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 ----------------Guzan---------------- Beye-----Davies--Cuellar-----Shorey Milner---Reo-Coker--Petrov----Young ---------Carew--Agbonlahor--------- Bench: Friedel, Gardner, Clark, Sidwell, Delph, Albrighton, Delfouneso. Heskey Suspended L Young Injured 2 Defenders in by then hopefully, they would both be on the bench istead of Clark and Gardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I am amazed witht he love affair the Villa fans now seem to have for Petrov. I think NRC has shown in pre-season (the best we've had for years) how important it is to have a DCM with drive and energy. For me Petrov is not enough of an athlete to play in there and this was demonstrated in the last 15 games of the previous season and the first few games of the Peace Cup. I couldn't disagree with most of the teams (given the size of our squad and injuries it almost picks itself) except for Petrov's inclusion in front of NRC?

barry'sboots Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I am amazed by Villa fans love affair with Petrov. For me, NRC has proved in pre-season what we have missed in the DCM position - it requires an athlete with drive and energy. This is not Stan for me and this was shown in the last 15 games of last year and the first couple of the Peace Cup. For me NRC has to play, particularly if we are looking at a 4-4-2. Other than that hard to disagree with most of the teams, but then our squad + injuries means the teams almost picks itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boumasbabies Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Saturdays Starting XI ...................................Freidel.................................... .....................Cuellar................Davies....................... Beye...............................................................Shorey ......................Petrov................Reo-Coker.................. Milner.................................................................Young ......................Agbonlaghor.......Heskey........................ He is definately going to start Freidel as he is our No1, he has looked good and slim in preseason (as has Guzan) and has still played more consecutive games in the premiership than anyone. Heskey gets my nod over Carew as big JC will probably play 90 mins of competitive international football tonight against Scotland, where Heskey if he plays will probably play 45 mins of a friendly and will therefore be fresher. If we are winning by 2 goals I would expect to see Delph and Albrighton subbed on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Potentially good news - Cattermole has allegedly passed a medical at Sunderland so won't be in the Wigan squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaretMahoney Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just heard on the Fox Soccer Report we haven't won at home against Wigan in 4 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Well the season starts and we have had the task of replacing our two best players - none of them have gotten replacements. We have sold an extra central defender as well, which leaves us with two! I wonder who would play away to Liverpool should one of the guys get injured and MON not bring in a new one. However, John Carew was great last night and should definetely go ahead of Heskey in the first game and hopefully it will stay that way forever. We are favourites and this is actually a must-win game in terms of us missing the second game before meeting Liverpool away the following week.

Don't tempt fate, O'Neill would get lynched! He is taking some risk though, I agree with you. However, John Carew was great last night and should definetely go ahead of Heskey in the first game and hopefully it will stay that way forever. He was greatbut played the best part of seventy-five minutes? I think John will be on the bench and come on for Heskey late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wigan are now without Olivier Kapo for the match. With the tragic announcement re Luke Young's brother I totally expect Beye to make his debut! I think we'll line up in a 4-4-2 as follows: .............Freidel Beye.Cuellar.Davies.Shorey Milner.NRC.Petrov.Young ........Gabby.Heskey Subs: Guzan.Clarke.Sidwell.Delph.Carew.Albrighton.Gardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stato Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I don't think L Young was ever going to start this game anyway because he's had next to no pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
