JonnyBradford Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 01 Given 02 Hutton 03 Warnock 05 Dunne 06 Collins 24 Cuellar 19 Petrov 31 Herd 09 Bent 11 Agbonlahor 18 Heskey Substitutes 22 Guzan, 21 Clark, 07 Ireland, 10 N'Zogbia, 16 Delph, 25 Bannan, 26 Weimann Shocked to see such a defensive approach. If I'm wrong, then hats off to Mcleish. A bench of Nzog, Bannan, Delph and Ireland - must be a little more creativity there surely. I reckon a back 6 - the usual 4 plus Carlos and Heskey, Herd sweeping up in Midfield. Gabby wide right to tempt away some players, Bent wide left to pick up another couple of markers. This leaves Petrov to show off his newly found super pace and sprint at them for 90 mins. 4-0 to Villa - Three 60 yard screamers from Petrov and a last minute header from Given. You heard it here.

HungryVillan Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 So possibly 3 across the back and 2 wing backs? I feel like I'm back in the nineties!! I'm happy with it, really. This is a defeat in the making. Props to McLeish for trying something different, especially double-teaming Bale with Hutton and Cuellar. Best from this game is a draw. UPV!

pete165 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 will be a back four, hutton in midfield on the right, heskey left. a flexible 442, trying to accomodate bale. problem is the message it sends out - not exactly a confident one and invites pressure.

brummybloke Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 with our team you know it is 80% one tactic hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofffff hope heskey wins a header and it falls luckily to either bent or gabby albrighton may as well leave the club because he wont get many games if they would rather play hutton at right midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Not sure this 3-5-2 line up will be successful. I can see us being pushed back, ending up with a 5-3-2 formation that gives the Spurs fullbacks too much space. Let's hope I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makouns_grin Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Are we playing barcelona at the nou camp or something??? If the rumored line up is true its a complete and utter farce talk about showing them too much respect playing 5 at the back against spurs.... How id like to see our manager take risks and be adventurous. Typical Alex McNegative If he had gone attacking you'd be slaughtering him for that. You always moan the opposite every single game.

sonic_bouma Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 horrible starting line up for us.... hutton, herd, petrov, heskey/agbonlahor in midfield is simply painful... why are we paying so much attention to Bale when they have about 4 other players who can rip us a new one... and what happens when Bale switches flanks......its a huge gamble by Mcleish and he's simply hoping that Spurs don't turn up tonight for us to get anything... urgh its gonna be a long night of watching 11 headless chickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laivasse Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Great little attack down the right, there. Not what I expected from Cuellar, Hutton and Petrov, but encouraging. More of the same plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
