BkkVilla Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 We need to sort this mess out, and quick. Play anything like we did last night as we might as well not turn up. We need to win this one (that means attacking Alex) as our run of games after Sunday make me want to hang myself from a tree branch. I would play: GK Given RB Hutton CB Cuellar CB Clark LB Delph CM Bannan CM Petrov © CM Herd RW N'Zogbia CF Bent LW Agbonlahor Subs: Guzan, Dunne, Collins, Jenas, Ireland, Albrighton, Heskey. I'd put my house and my car on McLeish not picking that team. I wouldn't want him to pick that team. :shock: Was that picked by a child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Great effort aside, I really don't see Herd adding much in midfield I'd go, Zog Stan JJ Ivanhoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Disagree. I actually think Herd adds a good level of passing ability to our team. This isnt what he's in there for, but he comes up with some nice moves at times. He's the least of our worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I don't think we're going to get the ball off them, hopefully they can't finish like a lot of their games this season and we snatch a goal. But realistically I see a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Think Mcleish will set up for a point Bent will be isolated up front alone again and we will sit back concede possession and when we do have the ball won't retain it for long, Collins will start hoofing 60 yard balls in the air to Nzogbia, it's all so tragically predictable I didnt watch the spurs game, I was in the pub and as soon as the starting line up was announced I went home. I fear another tragically defensive negative boring line up with clueless football. A comfotable home win for Swansea, I think we will be on exactly the same number of points in mid jan as we are on now. McLeish just gets worse week in week out. He will probably pick the same starting eleven as the spurs game, he really is a grade A tosser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would rather play the same XI that played on Monday night? Or perhaps the same defence that has been conceding goals from set-pieces left, right and centre? Or even maybe play Hutton and Heskey on the wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree he's not a midfielder Would like to see him at RB in place of hutton Along with Petrov I think he's easily our best option at DM. Against teams of a similar or lower ability, I wouldnt be against playing Petrov & Jenas and/or Bannan. But for the rest of the games, he plays a valuable role that not even Petrov can do.

CI Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Spot on KHV, I'm expecting our manager to play Hutton in midfield again as he probably thought it worked well at The Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The swans will smash us apart. I agree with what Paul Merson said, we are poor and offer nothing. If we lose the I will jump on Ecks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yep after Sunday, it will REALLY turn against Eck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The obvious people IMO that should not be in the staring 11 vs Swansea are Collins and Heskey. I'd go for: GK: Given RB: Hutton LB: Warnock CB: Dunne CB: Cuellar CM: Petrov CM: Jenas RM: Albrighton LM: N'Zogbia CF: Bent CF: Gabby Let's try and win this - no more defensive hoof ball tosh please.

Czechlad Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I am trying to remain optimistic but I just don't see us taking more than a point. McLeish is ruining any type of technical game for us and trying to get us to play stoke ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBGB Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Up to now, our season's been so-so - considering the board's outlook. But unless we're very careful, this could be the game that's a real turning point for the worse in our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickerMan Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Heskey will start. Note I didn't say play. 3 points to the Villa tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 We should try to win because this is the last approachable game before a terrible series that will se us against the top teams. After the inexplicable performance and team selection at WHL I can't not in highest spirits, but I like to think that you can't keep a good Villa man down. The reason why I'm not so eager for this match is that I'm quite sure that once again - the sacred claret and blue shirt will be worn by four unwatchable players that would make William Mc Gregor to turn in his grave, and obviously I refer to: Hutton, Collins, Dunne and Heskey; - whereas are fit and available Cuellar and three good youngsters that could replace them very well and instead will go on the bench or wil remain at home: Herd, Albrighton, Bannan. But we are Villans above all. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
