Daweii Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Villa to win 3-1.. We have to win this game as we don't have very many winnable games coming up unless our new signings whoever they are come in and change things drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think we may surprise ourselves (and probably most others) by winning. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet so 2-1 Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The Guardian, which often gets these things right, has ------------------Guzan-------------------- ----------Baker----------------Clark--------- Lowton------------Vlaar (poss)----------Bennett Delph-----Westwood (poss)----Bannan -------Benteke-------------Agbonlahor----------- Think I might go for Weimann given he has scored 6 in his last 7 games! What a srange season Southampton have had: 4 points from their first 10 games (3 courtesy of you know who) and 14 from the next 10. They are on a bit of a roll and it will be a fine ahievement if we win this. Even with Vlaar and Westwood back we look quite weak. I am not thinking of anything but a Villa win at the moment - it's too depressing to contemplate anything else. Just have to cross my fingers and hope those people assuring us it will all come good under Lambert are right. That team will lose. Still has a piss poor powder puff midget midfield, a right back that cant really defend and a left back that cant really play football and who is about 5st and 5ft tall. It also contains Gabby who has been shit since the carling cup final. Im not sure what to make of Benteke either, one week he looks like Drogba the next week he looks like Heskey, hopefully he finds form again.

OutByEaster? Posted January 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2013 I may be overmotivated for this one - I've just broken a spoon whilst making a cup of tea and absentmindedly chanting 'We do not lose this one' repeatedly to myself.

cheltenham_villa Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 We need 4 or 5 in the midfield. Proper wingers who help the fullback. Would probably play gabby left as I think they'll target getting wide and taking on the fullbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 **** it, play a front 3 of Benteke, Bowery and Weimann and just have Bannan lump it up to them, the two big fellas should win enough in the air against a weakened Southampton defence and Weimann has the movement and positional sence to be in the right place to get on the end of the knock downs. THIS I do not want Villa to become a Stoke but if it means winning when we are where we are then JFDI ! Benteke is top draw at winning knock ons for others to feed off so lump it up to him and get everybody crashing in behind him ...... we'd score 4 or 5 no problem !!!

sonic_bouma Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) id be tempted to play 5 in midfield give that shit naive defence as much protection as possible ------------------------Guzan------------------------ Lowton--------Vlaar---------Baker----------Clark -------------------------Herd--------------------------- Gabby-------Westy----------Ireland------Zogs -----------------------Tekkers------------------------ Edited January 12, 2013 by sonic_bouma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Guzan Lowton Vlaar Baker Stevens Gabby Westwood Holman Zog Benteke Weimann if i see a midfield of bannan/delph again ill pull my hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'd do similar. Get gabby and Nzogbia on the wings and running at defenders and get Benteke and weimman both upfront. We're going to have to score at least 2 goals to win this game so we need to go out with attacking intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 That worked well on Tuesday night Bennett got (even?) worse after Gabby went off. Would rather have protection down the left from GA than Nzog anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 5 - 0 Southampton Bannan is dropped thankfully. Having Westwood back could be key in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
