El_Hierro Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Skrtel out for 2 weeks. Possibly replaced by 18 year old Ayala, or Sotiris Kyrgiakos if they get him signed in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Hierro Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ------------------------------Guzan------------------------------ Beye------------Cuellar----------------Davies----------Young ----------Sidwell--------------NRC--------------Petrov--------- Young-----------------------------------------------------Milner ------------------------------Carew------------------------------ If Young isn't fit or up to it then Shorey. ...is the team I'd play. All of a sudden (Shorey out, Young in) it doesn't look too bad at all. Get Distin in place of Davies and we're talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davies4England Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Not confident about this game, think we could lose heavily, although hopefully the players can use last seasons game as a bit of motivation after the beating they gave us then.

avfc89 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Its going to be intriguing to see how the team reacts to the defeat against Wigan, I mean they are getting slated left, right and center at the moment, I hope that gives them the extra impetus to put up a fight and have a go.

ED Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Guzan (Freidel's reaction time has looked slow for some some time now) Beye Shorey Cuellar Davies Reo-coker Sidwell Petrov Ashley Young Milner Agbonlahor I'm still trying to figure out how we got to late august with that as our predicted team :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Reo-Coker should be given a man marking role on Gerrard. If Sidwell and say Delph can then tight to the other two midfielders, we can really stop them playing, I'd play Luke Young at right back, Beye at left back, mainly because I think Young is a better defender and will be copying with Beanayoun, while Beye is taller for any crosses at the back post towards Kuyt. Milner should play on the left, given the task of keeping Glen Johnson quiet, although Ash works hard, I think he'd get stuck defending the whole game and wouldn't get him on the ball up the pitch and also Johnson has the beating of Young whenever i've seen them play each other. let Young play on the right or even Albrighton and use Ash Young as one of the 3 in midfield, i.e Coker - Sidwell and Young....playing Carew upfront, especially if that Ayala plays, as he can look to bully him.

Oaks Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 If we play 4-4-2 and Petrov in the middle i dont think i will bother watching it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 we are going to get destroyed Oh god yeah, the day will be great until about the 5th minute in when we are 3-0 down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I am real looking forward to a great performance and high scoring win... Wake me up when it happens. I would watch the Villa last year and even before a ball was kicked i would think we would do okay. Now not as confident now but I still have faith in the players just not sure whats going on at training ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Totally not looking forward to this match at all - I can't see beyond a heavy defeat and I'm usually an optimist!!!! With Davies potentially out we have massive problems unless we actually sign someone (beginning to feel that will never happen!) Who knows if Carew will declare himself fit or not?!?!? Also, I can see MON reverting to Petrov and Delph in the middle as they didn't play at all last night I'd pick .................Friedel Beye.Cuellar.??????.Shorey .........Sidwell.Petrov.NRC Milner..............................Young .................Gabby Subs: Guzan. Heskey.Carew(?).Delph.Gardner.Clark.Lowry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenno Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 We are going to get such a mauling - I think the result might be even worse than last season. Carlos Cuellar is our only fit centre back FFS. I'd be satisfied with anything less than a 3 goal defeat. Oh, how times change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Curtis Davies injured. You've brought this on yourself Martin O'Neill for A) not signing another centre back not replacing Laursen C) Letting Zat Knight go when we've not even **** signed anyone and probably the most important of all: D) CURTIS DAVIES NEEDS AN OPERATION, SIGN SOME PLAYERS AND LET HIM GO HAVE IT. Stop **** around now this is an important season and we've probably **** it up already, I'm very worried. Be happy to eat my words but I can't see that happening yet.

switters Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Will Davies even be fit? Came off injured yesterday didn't he? Assuming Davies injured and Carew fit: ------------Friedel Beye-Cuellar-Clark-Shorey -Petrov-ReoCoker-Sidwell Milner-----Carew------Young If no Carew I'd go with Heskey - if they're still without Skrtel and Agger, they might be playing Ayala CB again - I have more faith in Heskey or Carew giving a rookie defender a tough time than Gabby. Agree with whoever said we should stick Coker in a marking job on Gerrard. Sidwell and Petrov being in there too should mean we're not totally over-run as last time we went there. Negative tactics, but we could really do without another 5-0 right now! We also need A.Young to have a good game, to keep Johnson occupied - he was looking good going forward vs Stoke & him and Kuyt could get a lot of joy out of Shorey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
