Nigel Posted January 25, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2011 Luke Young travelled with us to this.. Houllier said there will be rotation to freshen up the squad, I think we'll see him play today. I just don't understand why tho. Play the team thats just won. We are nowhere near good enough to rotate and freshen up imo. I'm no fan of luke young either however we have games coming thick and fast so we need to rotate... Im with this. Its not as if we will be weakening the team or sticking the kids in, we have some genuine options now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id start NRC instead of Albrighton, and play Petrov at the apex of a 3 man centre midfield. Although Id start the above team if we were at home.

chappy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I don't want Makoun to start, he's only trained with the squad twice. I would bring him on with 20/30 mins to go depending on the score and give him his first start in the cup against Bburn. Also I got odds of 18/1 on us to score 4 or more with William Hill, worth a pound I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heskeygoalmachine Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 just put a bet on this game. Darren Bent to score first and for villa to win 3-0. 80/1, worth putting a quid on. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Horses for courses here, I would play one of NRC or Makoun at the very least. In terms of rotation I'd rather we did it in the cup on Saturday than tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewportStu Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 No point changing a winning team. Think we'll line up the same as Saturday personally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_shere Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I think this is a game Kyle Walker should start in, we should go out and attack Wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMur Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 According to Optajoe on Twitter: '27 - Manchester United & Aston Villa have both fielded 27 different players in their starting line-ups this season, a PL-high. Resource.' So I guess with Makoun's debut we'll be at 28. Who would have thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 dont think a draw would be the end of the world here, wigan are tough to beat at home. its certainly a 'must not lose' however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 We are not in a position to be rotating the squad. If Houllier wants to rest players he can do it on Saturday for the cup game against Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'd like to see a 4-4-2 with Heskey & Bent together, really go for it. A win tonight would be great, we need to make sure we get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I've just been given some reliable info regarding the likely team selection for tonight. Some of you are going to be disappointed by the looks of things. Employs Derren Brown-esque mind trickery in order to fool people into thinking I'm ITK, when infact I have no clue.

Who would have thought? we have 27 players? :shock: I make 28 that have played in league: Friedel Walker, Warnock, Lichaj, L.Young, Beye, Dunne, Collins, Cuellar, Clark [9] ReoCoker, Sidwell, Petrov, Delph, Hogg, Herd, Bannan, Pires, A.Young, Albrighton, Downing, Ireland [12] Bent, Carew, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Delfouneso, Weimann [6] Makoun will be #29 Plus I think Baker, D.Johnson, Guzan, Marshall, Lowry, Salifou, Osbourne, Davies, Parish all been in squad at some point, which would make 38! Of these 13 are academy products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
