keefa3011 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I think it's important for a manager to have a number 1 goalkeeper, and to stick with him whenever available. Of course it's harsh on Brad, but I'm happier knowing that McLeish is certain of at least 1 thing; who his best goalkeeper is. I think a draw is on the cards today, but we probably couldn't be playing them at a better time if Distin (always seems to do well against us!) and Jagielka are indeed both out.

CI Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Defeat would mean our worst run of home defeats in almost 50 years Lovin this McLeish era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I think it's the wrong decision dropping Guzan just because Given is fit again also what message does it send out to the rest of the squad? Very different when it comes to keepers. If people seriously want to criticise McLeish over this it is very very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different when it comes to keepers. If people seriously want to criticise McLeish over this it is very very sad. Is it really that different? Given is fit again and is walking back into the team without having to work for it meanwhile Guzan who has been good is being dropped due to no fault of his own.. of course I will criticise him for it because it's a stupid thing to do. I also wonder who he will drop when Keane comes into the team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Who is being "dropped" off the bench to make way for Keane today ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Who is being "dropped" off the bench to make way for Keane today ?? I assume Heskey as he's injured or Delfouneso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 To me this has low scoring draw written all over it. McCleish will be well aware that another loss and he will breaking all the wrong sort of records and as such he will play with 10 men behind the ball at all times. Personnel on the pitch won't really matter as they will be played deployed defensively whom ever thay are. From Everton's perspective I think they would be happy with a draw, considering their many injuries, and as such they will play a cagey match. Either 0-0 or 1-1 and exceptionally dull to boot.

CI Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 shame to see Fonz or Weimann make way for Keane, it's a backwards step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Given, Cuellar, Dunne, Collins, Stevens, Albrighton, Petrov, Herd, Zogbia, Keane, Gabby 442 and two wingers bosh 2-0 victory If Ireland plays and Gabby is stuck out on the wing i think we will lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That if you're a better player than your backup and happen to get injured that you don't automatically lose your place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 shame to see Fonz or Weimann make way for Keane, it's a backwards step I just can't see how you can come to that conclusion. I love our young lads coming though and am proud of that, but the harsh reality is they are both shit and not in the same league as keane. Whatever you want to say about age, and money spent on him he is a player that can come off the bench and do something. The countless times the two young lads have come on they offer nothing.

It is harsh on brad, he put in a good shift. But you don't leave quality on the bench, that is even more wrong. Given is a class act, and is better than guzan. Harsh but true.

IMO if Fonz and Weimann are getting regular games for Villa then it means we've been relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm Neither are shit but Keane is a useless old has been. Don't believe me? Well just sit back and watch. I have my doubts about whether or not the Fonz will make it at VP but if not at Villa he will somewhere. As AW, how many times have you seen him come on? Certainly not enough to times to say he is shit! I'm not looking forward to watching Everton show us how to play today, not that they are any good just that we are so bad under this manager. I hope for a win, will accept a point but I expect nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Cuellar on the bench apparently. Not fit enough to start or does he really prefer Collins/Hutton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Villa: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Clark, Petrov, Albrighton, Ireland, Agbonlahor, Bent if that's the team i predict a bore draw or a defeat... Gabby on the wing.... 5 in midfield and Bent completely isolated.... if Irelands on the wing cutting inside and gabby is up front then we stand a chance but a highly doubt it... looks like a 451 to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
