AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 To counter Arsenal and also see the best of us. 4-5-1. Delph and Milner pushing on from midfield. Gabby upfront. Lule Young rb. Cuellat and dunne cb.
wedge Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I agree with 4-5-1 as follows: GK Freidel RB L.Young CB Cuellar CB Dunne LB Warnock DMC Reo-Coker RM A.Young LM Downing CM Petrov © AMC Milner CF Gabby
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 get Reo-Coker on Fabregas. Back pocket him like he's done to Gerrard and Ronaldo!
Mr_Dogg Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 get Reo-Coker on Fabregas. Back pocket him like he's done to Gerrard and Ronaldo! I would agree and I'm not normally one pushing for a NRC start but Fabregas is tearing teams apart this season. He has to be contained somehow.
carew_villa Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 NRC should definitely start but we all know that he won't! For me, I think we should play 4-5-1 Friedel Young-Cuellar-Dunne-Warnock Downing-NRC-Petrov-Young Milner Gabby I'd like that to be the team but we all know it's not going to happen
VillaChris Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 1-1 draw. Dunney with a late equaliser, similar to Knight last season. Arsenal have a few midfielders out like Ramsey, Nasri, Song and Diaby who always scores against us so yep if we can nulify Fabregas which is easier said than done, we can win it.
deeps Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 aint Nigel injured still? I don't feel good about this one tbh i can see Le Arse winning it
Ponky Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I think this is probably a good game to unleash Delph in a 5-man midfield.
kurtsimonw Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I agree with 4-5-1 as follows: GK Freidel RB L.Young CB Cuellar CB Dunne LB Warnock DMC Reo-Coker RM A.Young LM Downing CM Petrov © AMC Milner CF Gabby I'd go with this.
Undesirable Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I imagine they'll come out against us like a wounded animal after their result at Stoke today. I'd be surprised if Martin went with anythign other than the 4-4-2 with the possibility of Luke Young coming in for James Collins. I'd like to see us go 4-5-1 with Delph coming in for Heskey and providing cover for the back four and doing a job on Fabregas.
VillaGoMarching Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 i suspect they're actually quietly pleased that they're out of the FA cup.

Gabby15 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 NRC on 'Kick the shit out of Fabregas' duty for me aswell
theboyangel Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Warnock a doubt so Young to LB and Cuellar to continue at RB... :shock:
barry'sboots Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Warnock a doubt so Young to LB and Cuellar to continue at RB... :shock: Would rather see Carlos stay at CB and bring Beye in. Lets keep the "out of positions" to a minimum in my view.
roonst83 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 We need to learn from when we played Arsenal the other week...our midfield got over ran at times (especially when Fabregas came on) so we should pack the midfield with 5 in there. As people have sugetsed id stick NRC (if fit) in there to ankle bite Fabregas. The teams thhat get the best results against Arsenal close them down straight away and give them no time on the ball. We must do this. At VP of late teams have done a pretty good job shutting us down, Stoke did it, Liverpool did it, even West Ham did it - I feel we may be getting too predictable at home - teams come and close Ashley Young and Milner down and stop them playing. Lets go 4-5-1.
Hanky Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I agree with the 4-5-1 shout and the team if NRC is fit.
