dudevillaisnice Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Carruthers is on the bench mate. He is a sub just wasn't named originally. Edited January 1, 2013 by dudevillaisnice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The Beeb says Swansea have made seven changes. Not sure if that is good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 that starting line up is possibly the weakest i have seen in 21 years as a Villa fan it really is no wonder we are where we are that team should get spanked by 18 out of the 20 teams in this league we have simply got to spend in January key areas like central defence and centre midfield are just so poor ive put a bet on 4-0 swansea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 +1 to Herd. I think Stevens will play RB. With Herd/Lowton/Clark at CB if we are using the wing back system, although with Albrighton in maybe not. Either way we have no way of getting the ball to Benteke so a 4-0 loss.

Troglodyte Posted January 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2013 It's very hard to see us getting anything at all out of this game. Could well be another hiding if we let Swansea pass through us as easily as other teams have lately. Hopefully Lambert has somehow managed to instil some confidence and that the defence will be more solid. Not conceding within the first 5 minutes would be lovely.

sonic_bouma Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 if Lambert has picked 352 again then he needs his head checkin if its 442 fair enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Bennett and Stevens? Looks like 4-4-2 to me. That's what I thought as well... Bennett on left wing, albtighton right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think this is the first time in 20 years that you could give me 11 players in a list and I'd have no idea where they're playing and In what formation. I'm not sure if this is worrying or not. I know lambert likes to switch things up depending on the opposition but I'm starting to think he doesn't have a clue about his best XI. I like lambert though so up the villa, will be tough today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 If that's 5-3-2 again I'm lathering myself up in honey and sticking my bollocks in a bees nest for 90 minutes. It'll beat the pain of watching us get drubbed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Mark Halsey is ref. Whilst he isn't as bad as the likes of Dowd I've never been a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 1, 2013 Halsey. I hate Halsey, but on a day like today, his unique blend of ineptitude and bumbling incompetence might just be a leveller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutherland Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Aston Villa FC @AVFCOfficial #AVFC: Guzan, Lowton, Clark [c], Bennett, Herd, Weimann, Delph, Stevens, Westwood, Benteke, Albrighton. #AVFCLIVE I know its only swansea but sending the reserves there is a bit disrespectful to them! Im sure there are sanctions in place for not starting your best 11 Mick Mccarthy might have something to say about this lol!..
