wedge Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Here we go then, another rollercoaster season following the Villa is upon us.

GK Guzan RB Hutton CB Vlaar © CB Okore LB Cissokho CM Westwood CM Delph CM El Ahmadi RW N'Zogbia ST Bent LW Gabby Subs: Given, Senderos, Richardson, Grealish, Bacuna, Weimann, Cole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakid007 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I would go 433 Guzan Hutton senderos vlaar cissokho kea gardener delph Bacuna bent Richardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Guzan Bacuna Vlaar Senderos Stevens Delph Westwood N'Zogbia Grealish Richardson Bent I think I'd go with this, think Okore needs a bit more rest, I think Grealish deserves to start, I'd hope Bent would put away the chances those three behind him would create, I hope Delph and Westwood would be full of energy and that back four would back them up, with Bacuna being an outlet (Without leaving us exposed) and Guzan stays solid in goal. I'd like to see Gardner get some minutes off the bench and for it to be a wake up call to Weimann and Agbonlahor that they need to pull their fingers out. I hope we win 3-1 and all my hopes come true. Me and Harry Belafonte will be there welcoming in the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 first games are always unpredictable so i think we will get a point, 1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I would go: Guzan Hutton Senderos Vlaar Cissokho (if fit) Westwood Delph KEA (has he featured much pre season?) Nzog Bent Grealish But PL will probably go: Guzan Hutton Senderos Vlaar Cissokho Delph Kea Westwood Weimann Bent Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Oh Gawd...here we go again. Let the nerves, stress, worry and roller coaster ride that is our season begin. Anything but a loss to kick us off would be great. I just worry that Bojan will give us the runaround. And from what I've seen in pre season we seem to have lost our quick counter attacking ability and I'm not confident of creating many chances. Would be satisfied with a draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 There is way too many here having Bent in the starting eleven. I for one hope he don't start. He is finished at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Struggling to pick my 11 that I think PL will pick. I'll go with my heart and here's what I'd LIKE to see... ---------------Guzan---------------- Hutton---Okore---Vlaar---Cissokho Delph-----Westy N'Zogbia------Cole----Grealish Weimann I know I haven't a hope in hell of seeing a) Grealish start, Weimann actually playing as a striker, c) Cole fit enough to start and d) Okore starting over Senderos or Baker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 If Cole isn't fit, I'd have Bacuna on the right and Zog through the middle switching with Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Looking forward to it now. Just worried it will be a decent away performance but we'll end up losing out to a free kick or corner up at The Britannia.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 2-0 Stoke. They are sadly now a much more accomplished side than us and Lambert will pick a side that doesnt work and will refuse to change it until its too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasabian21 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Sadly, I think Lambert will still try to dine out on the 4-3-3 counter-attacking style that used to work. With Gabby and Weimann off form and the beast still out, he must use something different; I'd like to see a 4-4-1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 How about: ------------------------Guzan--------------------------- Hutton ------Vlaar ---------Senderos ---- Cissokho -------------- Westwood ----- Delph ------------------- ---- N'Zogbia ------ Bacuna -------- Richardson ---- ----------------------- Bent -------------------------------- Team includes Hutton, who I don't really want to play, so I would be perfectly okay with Cole playing behind the striker (if fit) or Grealish playing there (if the manager feels brave) and Bacuna as RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) ------------------------Guzan--------------------------- Hutton ------Vlaar ---------Senderos ---- Cissokho -------------- Kea ----- Delph ------------------- ---- Bacuna ------ nzogbia -------- Richardson ---- ----------------------- Bent -------------------------------- This will work. We have a big enough squad now were we shouldn't be playing players out of position Edited August 10, 2014 by dakid007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
