I'm willing to bet that Heskey will come into the side.

Heskey will play up front with Gabby & the Fonz will be recalled from his loan at Leicester to warm the bench with Weimann.

I think some are missing the point.
We  could have Messi, Rooney and Silva up front, but with McCluless in charge they would be wasted.

In the commentary today, after 15 mins they said, Villa have Bent, Keane and Agbonlahor, now thats a premiership foward line.
And they were right, most teams with give their right arm for that, but look what the twat in charge has done to them.
The problem is not the players.

I don't know why we even bother playing a striker, we don't use them.  We could put K Mac up front and it would basically amount to the same as having Robin Van Persie if we are not going to give him the ball.  You can't win games if you sit back and play for a draw with dull negative football, no matter who you have up front.

The Fonz is shit, given has more chance of scoring, take Agbonlahor off the wing put him up front, its quite simple, we've got nzogbia for the wing

Gabby up top, Ireland, Albrighton and NZogbia behind, with Gardner and Herd or Petrov.

And step back Alex McL. All the way to Scotland. I'll even contribute to the taxi fare.

Gabby is better than Bent as a lone striker for us. I'd pick the same fromt 4 as ozzjim, and would have all season.

I take it there's no news on Bent? I'd go one up front personally but if he's out for any length of time its extremely worrying. Lerner should have a long hard look in the mirror, because currently we've got forward options that would shame a championship side.

Gabby up front... Ireland behind him... Marc and NZog either side. Weinmann as Gaby's understudy. Nothing disastrous there... in fact it's a class forward line.

So in Mcleish's head that reads - Heskey upfront all by himself, Gabby stuck out on the wing, anybody on the right as long as they don't go forward too much and three central midfielders who only pass sideways.

Exactly.
