chappy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Friedel Walker Cuellar Collins Baker NRC Makoun Albrighton Young Downing Gabby We want Dunne on top form for next tuesday so I would have him on the bench here. No point playing CLark at LB because we don't want to risk him picking up another booking, I'd play him next tuesday though. Makoun needs to get as much time as poss but I'd bring Petrov on for him if he is tiring. Bring on Delf for Gabby at half time if we are winning.

villa_shere Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Friedel Walker Collins Dunne Clark Young Makoun NRC Downing Agbonlahor Heskey Good old 442 with Young and Downing whipping the ball in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 If Delph / Ireland fit, then that would be a really good team. Though it does raise the question who would play on the left? Bannan in a 442 or Delfouneso in a 433? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'd play Makoun and Delph holding Bannan Ireland and Albrighton floating behind Fonz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Depends who's fit.. ----------------- Friedel ------------------- Walker ----- Cuellar ----- Dunne ------ Baker Downing --- Makoun --- Petrov ------- Young ----------- Heskey -- Agbonlahor ----------- Subs: Marshall, Collins, Clark, Reo-Coker, Delph, Albrighton, Delfouneso. Would rather have Clark at left back against United, so wouldn't risk him getting a booking here. Keep NRC 100% for the United game because he'll be hugely important for us I reckon. Go 4-4-2 so Gabby can play up top, gets Heskey a game as well. Delph in for Petrov I wouldn't mind, but I'd like experience alongside Makoun for now.

Shillzz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'd play Makoun and Delph holding Bannan Ireland and Albrighton floating behind Fonz. It's a good shout, maybe a little unfair on Bannan to play him wide, as it's not his best position by a long way. My thinking would probably be play Delfouneso wide left in a three with Heskey up top. (Ireland out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Also - on the Baker front... Houllier has mentioned that he expects Clark to be fit. Might change some people's thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Also - on the Baker front... Houllier has mentioned that he expects Clark to be fit. Might change some people's thinking. With Clark's yellow count this season, I think it'd be a little pointless playing him. Just risking getting another booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'd like to see Heskey start too, they couldnt handle him in the Carling Cup game. Then again, maybe that had something to do with him coming on as a sub, so that would work too...would dearly love Fonz to get more game time though, especially in a game were Bent can't play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted January 27, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2011 Why is this a 1pm kick off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienvillan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Why is this a 1pm kick off? Not really my business but according to Blackburn OS "The early kick-off is due to both Aston Villa and Birmingham City being at home in the competition on the same day."

barry'sboots Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Same back 5 for me. ----------- Makoun --- Delph ----------- Albie --------------- DJ ---------- Gabby ------------------ Heskey ---------------- you would actually like to see gabby on the left? Not my preference but I wouldn't want to play Ash as I'd like him to be fully rested for Man U and Ireland is still injured (?) so DJ would be my preferred ACM, unless he fancies giving Gardner a game in there?? Therefore, the LW is the spot remaining and he is probably best suited. Many will say Heskey and Gab as a striking partnership but, unless they can get Gabby to play deeper, which I have never seen him to show any propensity to do, I think this leaves too big a gap between two sitting midfielders and those two.

Ponky Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think Downing is probably the one due for a rest. Young recently had a week off courtesy of a red card. I would like to see Delfouneso given a start here. In my view, while Heskey's form has been good this year, his petulance cost us 3 points against Sunderland and he should not be given automatic return to the starting lineup.

theboyangel Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I also think there'll be around 4-5 changes in the team selected against Blackburn - partially due to the ManUre game a few days later. .................Friedel Walker.Cuellar.Clark.Baker ..........Makoun.Bannan Albrighton.................Young ........Heskey.Delfouneso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggyrichard Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Think it will be a draw and we'll lose the replay Why do you think that Rich? I think we will be buzzing having won 2 on the bounce, Gabby getting a goal mid week might just lift him. 2-0 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
