CrackpotForeigner Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I can see the sense in Okore not starting his first PL game at Arsenal. Start him v Chelsea where he's done well before. Three games in a week is a big ask at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I actually think Baker is a better choice for this game . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwegianvillain Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Okore hasnt earned a spot yet, Baker was really good at the end of last season, and have done well enough in the pre-season games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 In fact I'm gonna go as far to say that I think he will score today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 In fact I'm gonna go as far to say that I think he will score today An own goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Luna the only new starting. Don't know if any of the other new signings are good enough to start when everybody is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Okore won't start until the league cup I predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Bennett not even on the bench? He's not injured is he, he came on against Malaga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This shows that perhaps we need to sign a few more players, ones who would be nailed on starters for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This shows that perhaps we need to sign a few more players, ones who would be nailed on starters for me. I wouldn't read too much into it. Let's not forget that Benteke was benched for his first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Okore has pace, Vlaar and Baker have not. Walcott and Ox start :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcohen Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Solid starting 11. Baker in over Okore for his experience in the premier league I would say. Here's hoping we start well. Would take a poit, but could see us nicking this. Benteke will score, so can we keep a clean sheet to win the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) This shows that perhaps we need to sign a few more players, ones who would be nailed on starters for me. I wouldn't read too much into it. Let's not forget that Benteke was benched for his first game. He had only signed a week or 2 before that game though. These lads have a full preseason behind them. I'm not saying I'm disappointed with the signings but we could do with going out and signing a couple of certainty starters.

AndyBM Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 we have quite a defensive playing midfield, happy with the defense and attack lines though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Any one listen 5 live preview - I kid you not - he gave the background, on arsenal, then the team line up , then onto his villa summary 'All six of villa new signings are involved - but only Antonio Luna starts' - Incredible - he might just as well have said 'oh villa are putting a team out as well' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyPowers Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'm delighted Baker starts. Would have been sickening to see Clark get picked ahead of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'm happy with that team, Okore might be a bit behind fitness wise as he missed a fair chunk of pre-season so it's probably wise to ease him in. I thought KEA played quite well against Malaga and his pressing was really good, we'll need that today. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
