R.Bear Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 People moaning already... Warnock was excellent in midfield last game, he has played in midfield lots of times in his career. Clark is also an established midfielder. Herd is a utility man. So the "playing 7 defenders" line is nonsensical. Heskey was excellent last game and with Gabby fit again, we can cause them problems. I would probably take a point tbh but I (obviously) really want us to get this won so we can relax a little. So nervous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted April 28, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2012 hmmm, didn't herd start out life as a centre back too or am i wrong? clark is a central defender, warnock is a left back, so if herd is naturally a defender that makes 7 defenders out of 10 outfield players? we're ****.

Dodgyknees Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 People moaning already... Given - defensive through position Lichaj, Warnock, Hutton, Clark, Dunne, Cuellar. - defenders. Herd - defenstive midfielder N'Zogbia - attacking inside winger. Heskey, Agbonlahor - non-scoring forwards. /End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die_Hard Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Definitely set up "not to lose" But then what did anyone expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 That line up has the seal of McLeish stamped all over it Defend and hoof Defend and hoof Defend and hoof Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I expect a huge gap between Zog-Gabby-Heskey and everyone else. Lots of hopeful balls for Heskey to flick on and the 2 pacy players to chase. Might work if WBA defence is asleep, but I suspect Olsson and Ridgewell will be happy enough if that's all we can offer. It's a lineup that should threaten at set-pieces, but we've rarely managed that this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm logging off now, not watching this game through choice, only games I have previously not watched have been because of work or other reasons. I just cannot put myself through us scrapping for a 0-0 win and hunting for lucky goals. 6 defenders, 7 defensive players, no goal-scorers and one half winger who is restricted by the manager. **** awful. I'll watch again when the championship starts and hopefully, this **** retard is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 its shameful we have NO creativity at all. And I dont count N'zog because he is just not doing it.. I cant see where the goals are going to come from tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'd argue we have 8 defenders in that line up. Well 7 and Alan Hutton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoD Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 There is nothing wrong with the formation and players, experience is good in this situation and those players could be used in an attacking way. We all Mcleish wont do that and he will make it defensive but i'd rather have an experience group out there than kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 No real creativity and very much setup "not to lose" I can't wait till McLeish leaves this club and leaves the PL as a whole - I will be very surprised if another PL club hires him.

Not moaning but this line up is shite for attacking football, he's hoping for 0-0 which is better than losing but all it takes is 1 mistake and were ****. Warnock excellent hahaha do me a favour and Heskey was and shit, Gabby's form is awful but I guess as he is quick he is the outlet for the hoof ball we are about to witness. Come on Villa at least give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switters Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I can see Hutton getting a straight red today Same. Certainly the home crowd will be on his back in a big way after he broke Shane Long earlier in the season. He is stupid enough to get riled, particularly if their players have a go at him..

the_sun_never_sets Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 6 defenders and heskey against west brom?!?!?!? clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAFC2000 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Any one else think that AM is genuinly clueless - no I mean completely clueless. How some one like hm can get away with earning 2 million per year. I would say the majority of villa fans who work there balls of day in day out could not do a worse job. He picks a different team every sodding week. I know we have injuries and niggles, but still - he just does not know our strongest team let alone defense from attack.
