Use to be back in the early years of Cricket/Football clubs that the starting team use to be picked by members of a board/commitee voting by show of hands, which players would be in the first eleven.
Obviously things have slightly changed since then with responsibility for selecting the first team falling to an appointed Manager aided by his coaches/assistants.
With supporters now having the technological means to almost instantly express their views on websites such as H&V, it maybe that in future the new team selector of a teams starting eleven (by concensus) could be YOU, the supporter.
If such a fans concensus selection system was around today, what would the first team to start against Man Utd (Nov 2010) look like, and would it be much different from that team Houllier & Co will eventually select?
The main twenty-two man Villa squad list (with a few additions) is listed and everyone who participates needs to be logged in to vote, and has only 11 votes to select the first eleven (traditional 4-4-2 system) to start against Man U.
Needless to say the Goal keeper/four defenders/ four midfielders/ two attackers with highest number of votes by the close of the poll, would be the players who (by Villa fans concensus) would start against Man U. :-\

I went :-
Friedel

I'm not surprised in the slightest that at the time of writing, Carew has no takers despite the exercise being completely hypothetical.

This was my vote, based on if every one was fit, I'd hope delph has petrov's place by the end of the season

15 people have voted, only two players have had 15 votes: Friedel and Ashley Young.

Isn't the Ebbsfleet United (?) team picked based on some sort of supporter input?
-
to be honest I picked big john up front(his 1st pick)
I have not gone insane
it's just if I was picking the team you have to have someone to muscle up the defenders to balance the lack of size/strength in the forward line
on his day(rare I know) he can be a nightmare for the opposition centre backs
and with Ash, Albrighton and Downing wipping the balls in he can nod them down to Gabby
Big Emile doesn't fill me with confidence because of the way he carries himself-he is uncomfortable with his size whereas Carew seems happy in his own skin-so to speak
Friedel,Young(L),Collins,Cuellar,Warnock,NRC,Young(A),Downing,Albrighton,Carew,Gabby
4-1-2-1-2
I rate Ireland but...he hasn't gelled yet

Think it is very telling how far Dunne has fallen in fans views that the majority would rather have Cuellar and Collins. He really needs to sort himself out, but also seems to be a certain starter under the new regime. Not good.

Mine too... Agree with the Delph part too. If he can step up in Petrov's place over time we will only need to get one new midfielder for me.
-
At this point in time i'd play (well assuming Gabbys fit after today)
Friedel
Young
Cuellar
Collins
Warnock
Albrighton
Reo Coker
Downing
Young
Agbonlahor
Delfouneso
thats what i'd play next week when Gabbys fit
now i'd probably have bannan in for gabby and have him and young switching it up
depressing times
-
I think you're missing a few players.
-
By consensus? - I doubt it.
-
No Ciaran Clark; half these players are injured ...
so, no.

Seems like going by the voters on H&V the your preferred starting line up against Man U (if all players were fit) would look something like the above.The current crop of injuries may have influenced your votes, would have been interesting to see if the voting would have changed if all the player were available for team selection, & yes if Clark!! was included too.
PS Thanx for all who voted, interesting results ;)
-
i think that is our best team and that is a worry althogh i would swap bannan for dowing or young and go 4-3-3
-
Although the voting has closed, I'd like to place a post humous 'vote' to SALIFOU so that I can still be singing our best ever chant whilst the rest of you moody losers are exiting the ground early as per usual.
