villa89 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Off the back of 3 losses in a row and a 6-1 pasting Villa are the perfect team to be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 3, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2015 I think we need to STOP trying something new at the back. Our defenders aren't very good. The only way they're going to get better is through consistency. We need to decide on a back 4 and stick with it. Chopping and changing personell and formations every week is incredibly hard for most defences, let alone our one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Richards passes a late fitness test as he's needed whether it be at CB or RB. Llori hasn't been fit for 4 months now it's getting ridiculous. Is he not suspended the media are reporting he is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree with this to a point, we can't keep a clean sheet on a regular basis and look like conceding 2/3 goals a game. That is why I like the idea of five at the back! All about opinions of course but would like to see how it works now Okore is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's (one of) the reasons Tim gave us such a crap start - trying a different mix every week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Has Llori taken over from Clarke? I'm sure his name is Ilori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the reasoning behind that, but 5 at the back is a big change. It's not as easy as just arranging the players differently, playing with 3 CBs is a lot different for the player than playing a normal back 4. I fear if we made a change like that, it would be another 4 or 5 games until we adjust to it, which we can't afford. We're fine with a back 4. I'd rather see us stick with that formation and try and get the players settled and consistent. A defence can't play well if there's a new formation or a new player in it every week.

I think it's 4 yellows for a suspension this season (or maybe 5 including league cup games, I've noticed a few players suspended on fantasy football with 4 league yellow cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Well Ilori isn't fit, and there's question marks over Richards so it looks like Okore and Lescott in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't decide between Adama or Gestede, but went for the big man as away from home and may need to hold the ball up top better? Think we could be more solid with that kind of line up, then have Adama and Agbonlahor coming off the bench in the second half to scare them with pace? Reported missing: one midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardson has moved from left back to under Bacuna when reposted on here for some reason? Not sure why? Think that team can give them a game and can be solid enough. Still think we can get a draw.
