Stability or all change again?
« on: November 05, 2012, 01:14:33 PM »
With Westwood getting lots of plaudits for his premiership debut is it time to keep a winning team or does PL automatically drop KEH back into the team

I for one saw more in Westwoods game that i have all season in KEH but the manager does like to change it around  - a lot

Is it time to keep a team for a few weeks to let some confidence grow or is it keeping the opposition guessing by changing line up all the time?

I saw on another thread the record of results with Andy Weinmann in the starting team - i do hope that PL keeps with him - his movement and positioning is very good

With Bennett crocked & Lichaj injured there could be 1 enforced change - is Stevens up to it if required?

Lichaj is suspended according to kendrick.  Stevens isn't up to it in my opinion , maybe Delph at left back as Bennett looks like being out.

                      Guzan

Lowton.    Clark.    Vlaar.    Delph

             Kea.     Westwood
       Bannan.    Ireland.    Gabby

                  Benteke

I'd move Lowton to the left and put Herd at Right Back.No way Enda should start

You would bring KEA straight back in?

I'd be worried about Westwood and Bannan up against Man Utd's midfield, so personally I would bring KEA back in.

I think all the change is just PL trying to find his best team. I haven't seen much of the Sunderland game, but it sounds like its Westwood's shirt to lose now. Be disappointed if he brings back KEA as Im not convinced about him at the mo. Big game next week though but some youngsters thrive on the big games.

I dont like the look of Delph at full back against Man United............... or in midfield come to think of it.

Just an idea, but if we are completely screwed for a left back, does anyone know if Warnock can be recalled and if so, do you reckon Lambert would consider it as an option ?

I'd class that as highly unlikely.

One thing not yet considered is Clark at LB?

Turns out Enda Stevens is the first Villa player I have any remote connection too. I now know somebody who knew him growing up so really hope he makes it big now.

I think the midfield is where United are at their weakest.

I think its pretty average and has been for a few seasons now. Its a testament to their forwards and mental dominance that they keep challenging for the title.

I'm not sure I agree with the "Lambert is just trying to find his best 11" theory. Wasn't one of the things mentioned by Norwich fans during the summer that we would have to get used to not knowing what the next game's starting lineup would be?

I would go for stability if we can I would like us to keep the same team for United that we played against Sunderland if that's possible.

I think both points are factors, he does seem to like to tinker with his side from game to game but I'm also sure he's still getting to know his players and needs to look at them in a variety of combinations and against different opposition to get the proper measure of them.
