Wheres the width going to come from?
Yeah I know it's not ideal Paul, I just don't see us getting anything out of this unless we 'park the bus' somewhat as has been suggested and I think that both Benteke and Weimann can run the channels too with balls either over the top or played through the midfield, I just think being a bit more direct on Monday night is the only way we are going to get anything out of it- keep it tight, try to hit on the break and put balls into the box from any set pieces we get...use the pace of gabby later on in the game, bring on N-Zog too if we think we can nick something...
Hopefully if results go our way later, there will be less pressure on us on Monday night..? Here's hoping.
Anyway, up the Villa

I think if we go out with a negative intent we'll probably loose 2 or 3-0. Obviously we cant be too positive but I think we should stick to how we played at Everton and Arsenal and we might get lucky. Its a big if though. A narrow defeat wouldn't be a disaster but a 4 or 5 nil would be in terms of morale and confidence.
