LockStockVilla Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think we might revert back to 4-3-3 for this one. Weimann has been unused for the past two, so I reckon he will come back in and possibly Ireland too. Also would not mind playing Bent up top and giving Benteke a rest.

smetrov Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 One thing we really need to do against them is: TEST THE FRIGGEN KEEPER! They've got a 2nd string keeper in goal with Ruddy out injured - he just let in 3 goals this afternoon against Swansea. He needs to be tested, because he's the way we might get a result in this. This A couple of the goals looked down to him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If Tettey and Bassong are doubts we'll have a real chance. We need to avoid free kicks in and around the area as Snodgrass is on fire from that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Westwood cuptied for this one ? if so creates a hole in midfield for KEA \ Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT Supporter chappy Posted December 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2012 ------------Guzan------------ ----------Baker--Clark--------- Lowton-----------------Lichaj -------------Herd------------- --Alby----Ireland----Gabby-- --------Bent---Weimann----- Westwood cup tied; would rest Benteke (bring him on if we need him) and Bannan. The trick with playing against Norwich is to outscore them. I would play Guzan over Given because he is just a better goalkeeper and Norwich create chances, scored 4 on saturday.

villa89 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 2-0 to Norwich. Can't see us getting through away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Can not seeing us winning this, no way, no how. Then again, I thought our chances were about the same against Citeh in the cup, so who know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 We've scored 12 in 16 league games 10 in 3 cup ties.. On current form of course Norwich are favourites with home advantage too, but anything can happen. Would like to see Lambert go with a trial run the of Bent, Benteke and Agbonlahor up top with Ireland coming in for Westwood. Attack from the off and id be hopeful of a positive result. Norwich 1-2 Villa (AET) Bent Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it could be similar to this. If Zog is fit, possibly he might come in for Gabby. I suspect Given will play though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I don't know what to expect from this one,I hope we win, I'll go for 2-1 to us. Be interesting if he changes it up, show his rotation idea. Could it go as far as - ---------------Bent---Bowery ------------------Weimann ???-Ireland/El Ahmadi/Albrighton/Delph/N'Zogbia-??? Lichaj------Baker---------Clark------Williams ---------------------Given------------------------ including many who haven't started for a while?

VT Supporter chappy Posted December 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sounds like Hoolahan is out for them, as well as Tettey and Whitaker and Ruddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I think we'll make a few changes for this one (apart from the defence, which due to injuries kind of picks itself!) ...................Given Lowton, Clark, Baker, Lichaj ..............Delph.KEA Weimman,Ireland,N'Zogbia ....................Bent Subs: Guzan, Herd, Bannan, Gabby, Benteke, Bowery, Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
