Guest Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Quick quiz: If Gabby scores today, he'll have scored in five consecutive games. Who was the last Villa player to do this and when? Dublin 97-98? or Angel 03-04? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well it depends what you want to do, i would hope that having ambitions of a top 4 place we would go with to teams like blackburn with the emphasis being on trying to win instead of trying to not lose. Why does setting up with a 4-5-1, which invariably in our case ends up being more of a 4-3-3, mean we're not trying to win? Such an odd selection. Carew is bang out of form and I don't have faith in Petrov and Delph as a pairing. But we've won 6 on the bounce. Until that ends, well, I'll keep the faith. Because against liverpool, fulham and blues we didn't look threatenting going forward and we struggled to create chances. We looked solid but i think we lose a bit going forward with this formation. Blackburn are a poor team who are going to sit back and be happy with a draw today, 4-5-1 didn't work against blues when they did the same so i don't think it would work well against blackburn.

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Although to be fair, we battered them in a 4-4-2 last year and the year before that. last year, Heskey upfront aswell, Knight and Davies at the back...so well yeah.

Sanguinius Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Rovers will be playing a 4-4-1-1 Robinson Jacobsen Samba Nelsen Chimbonda Diouf N'Zonzi Grella Pedersen Dunn Di Santo N'Zonzi is 6 foot 4 and a promising young french DM who has been part of the French under 21 squad. Very raw but has a lot of potential from what i've seen of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc89 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 We will lose. MON is a stubborn ****. We only beat blues once we switched to 4-4-2 and we beat pompey playing 4-4-2. Why is a guaranteed loss because we are playing that formation today?Pompey are a very poor team and the blues game was tough, 4-5-1 helped us defensively in that game, we kept our shape and created a few chances, and then switched to 4-4-2 to put pressure on them near the end and it paid off for us.

OutByEaster? Posted September 26, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2009 Quick quiz: If Gabby scores today, he'll have scored in five consecutive games. Who was the last Villa player to do this and when? Hmmmm. My initial guess would be big Dion, but I think I'm wrong. I thought it was Dion too, that was four consecutive games though. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked solid but i think we lose a bit going forward with this formation. I don't agree. There was a period in the first half against the scum where we could have had 2 or 3 if Jimmy hadn't left his shooting boots at home. The switch to 4-4-2 came just at the right time, as the game became stretched. I think with two up top we're too static and the wide boys get too hooked up in defensive work. I could be wrong. Let's hope so eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
