RMB Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I can see City having a lot of playing in our half and us breaking on the counter. With our attack we should be good at counters but it isn't the way I'd go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Their team is pretty terrifying on paper. You can say that again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran_villa Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think we are gona get spanked with that team we are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Walker must be injured Might not be a bad thing, the defenders need to stick to defending today in that formation and Cuellar is solid enough defensively at RB. Need Dunne and Collins to be excellent today, no tippy tappy shite, if in doubt - get rid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Its an attacking team, but I think it could work if he plays Downing in the middle with Petrov. If he does, then I think Downing is key to this match. If he is playing Ashley Young at centre-mid with Petrov, then they could rape us, metaphorically, and literally. I have to say, its great to see a team and think "wow we are really going to go for a win". Even if we play with just Bent up front, the players he's picked are attacking ones.

uncy_chris Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Very attacking line up... could spell disaster. But at the same time, we've got a very defensive back line. Really hope Gabby and Bent hit it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops_AVFC Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Or could it be more Cuellar Dunne Collins Albrighton Petrov Clark Downing Young Gabby Bent ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alienvillan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm sure Dunne will give 100% today (as usual) but no calamities, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Reo is on the bench. It looks like 5 attack, 6 defend. For a team that scores as many as City you may just give up stopping them from scoring and try to outscore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Pleased to see an attacking line-up but think we've maybe not got the balance right. Possibly NRC coming in for either Downing or Albrighton might have helped. Anyway, fingers crossed it works. Come on Darren! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think Gabby and Bent will be a cracking partnership for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 they could rape us, metaphorically, and literally. i.e. They are much more powerful than us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolalu Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 i am actually looking forward to us playing offensively for once, if we sit back and defend we will get done as we did in CIMS...this give us a fighting chance, early goal please to get VP rocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 That montage of Dzeko's goals didn't exactly fill me with hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 22, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think Gabby and Bent will be a cracking partnership for us though. I don't. Bent doesn't do partnerships and Gabby has pretty much always looked more comfortable doing things on his own because he's too thick to read runs or make them himself.

CVByrne Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yeah Downing will have to be playing in centre with Petrov with Ash and Marc on the wings. Reo will come on for Petrov who will be putting in a double shift today. Pace everywhere though in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
