Richard Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Think we need to play quite conservative today. As much as I love Weimann I would put Bacuna in his place. Him and Gabby on the counter....just think Bacuna having been tried for RB will be better Vs Cole, Mata/Oscar etc. Id start with: _______________Guzan________________ _Lowton____Okore______Vlaar_____Luna__ ________Sylla__Westwood__Delph________ ___Bacuna____________________Gabby___ _______________Benteke________________ Always up for playing conservative! I mentioned that line up the other day actually as well, but KEA instead of Sylla as I'm not sure on his fitness just yet Edited August 21, 2013 by Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I couldn't say I'm not getting afraid of the game .. Remembering last game at SB seems horrible ! But at the same time I won't rule us out of the game .. I just don't want to high my hopes like last year there ! Anyway hopefully we could do it and win this time and not to lose !!

samjp26 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Playing Okore would make the world of sense against their speed, not sure about playing Bacuna as our right wing forward though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Just realized that if we manage a draw, we'll go top of the table again on goal difference. At least until the weekend. Goals scored wouldn't it be? Table after an n-n draw: Villa: 4 pts, +2 gd, 3+n scored Chelsea: 4 pts, +2 gd, 2+n scored Sorry, yeah - goals scored. I would be delighted with a draw but I think Chelsea will be too much for us to handle. 3-1 to the home side today.

AndyM3000 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Lets just not get hammered this time. Chelsea looked like they were about to put 8 past Hull on the weekend but slowed down 2nd half. If we get in at half time 0-0 I will be happy, we usually either hold our own or get smashed to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Can't see us getting anything but I would hope that we last out more than 6 minutes before conceding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 My head's been wondering towards this game all day at work. Not felt like that going up against the Sky 4 for a while. Love your work Lambert! Bring 'em!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 why do I feel like were going to win tonight, I just cant see how we will but I have a feeling were going to get a big result tonight, its probably my heart overruling my head though, if we can hold it together in the middle of the field we will do ok, last thing we need is the defence being under pressure for long spells, its nights like tonight that make a team, come on villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Mourinho has said he wants his team to annihilate and destroy opposition on the eve of our game hmm is that just mind games because of the fact we did get obliterated there last season? I hope our good record against him continues, but whoever finishes above ski this season will win the league imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 In my opinion, their weak link is Petr Cech. Nowhere near the outstanding keeper he once was. I'd be looking to get plenty of shots in on goal from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I would hope we go conservative for this game, remeber last season where we went with the same team that had beat Liverpool the week before? Would drop Weimann and replace him with Bacuna and push Bacuna and Agbonlahor back down the pitch to give the full backs some protection.
