Friedel; Cuellar, Collins, Dunne, Clark; Albrighton, Petrov, Downing, Young; Agbonlahor, Bent.

I make of that Gabby on the left, because there's no way in hell he'd have a central midfield of Petrov and either Young or Downing, especially in a game like this.

BBC says knee injury.

I think Young and Downing will have to work very hard indeed off the ball today.

Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: Monty on January 22, 2011, 04:56:11 PM
Worried mainly because that midfield is an 'on-the-ball' midfield - a luxury we won't have because the defence will give the ball away so much (even more so now with Cuellar forced into right back), putting that midfield under huge pressure.

Morning all - just about 4am here in Sydney and I'm that tired my eyes are stinging. We best fucking win.

Midfield looks a bit too light weight for me - especially up against Yaya Toure and De Jong.

I'll also do the usual and ask if anyone got a link to a decent stream of the match.

hmmm...suddenly not looking forward to this. No Walker and Midfield to be held together by Petrov....can't help but think they will absolutely slaughter us in midfield...
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: eastie on January 22, 2011, 05:04:46 PM
Espn say walker has back problem- very attacking line up, I'd have had nige in rather than gabby though as we could be exposed in midfield.

Should be a very open game.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: timeoutbigbar on January 22, 2011, 05:05:12 PM
This game will depend on how much we can get on the ball.  Think NRC for Gabby might have been a better option with downing out wide (if my guess at where people are going to play is right!)

Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: Dave on January 22, 2011, 05:05:40 PM
That is a very er... bold line-up.

Petrov is going to have to have the game of his life against De Jong and Barry.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: KevinGage on January 22, 2011, 05:06:00 PM
Don't like the look of that set up in the centre of the park at all.

Fingers and crossed we score first (and then get another soon after) to gain any sort of momentum. Even then, we might be doing well to draw.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: phantom limb on January 22, 2011, 05:06:23 PM
I guess we're looking to keep it down the flanks and get it into the box. Hopefully Bent can do the rest.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: Jimbo on January 22, 2011, 05:07:56 PM
On a day like today, when results have gone our way, some points would be nice. I don't think we'll get any, but hope the goal difference doesn't take too much of a pounding.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: Witton Warrior on January 22, 2011, 05:09:41 PM
I have felt great right up to the point where I saw the only difference from previous weeks is the inclusion of Bent D on the teamsheet

A win will take us above SHA and that is it. A draw leaves us where we are now. it could be worse though: if we lose by 4 goals Wigan go above us.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: eastie on January 22, 2011, 05:13:44 PM
Similar personnel to what we were discussing this morning dave ,in a 433 if albrighton and young wide, bent in middle and a midfield of downing petrov and makoun- of course that's the change , makoun in for gabby after today and we have ourselves a fluid attacking team.

Surprised nige or hogg not ahead of gabby though if he's going 443 today , maybe he's going 442 on this occasion.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread
Post by: Ian. on January 22, 2011, 05:15:27 PM
Blimey that is a positive line up, come on then show your worth Villa. We need to put to bed the last game against this lot.
Results have gone fairly well for us today.

Let's wait and see how it shapes up. bent up top will force a different shape to things than we've seen for a while so assume ged thinks we will have the space to play a bit. I'm not going to be that critical of a manager fielding an overly attack minded team at home yet anyway.

I have to say, I think Downing has been excellent and far far better than I thought he would be there. Not a big tackler, but he's been a right fucking nuisance for their midfielders, getting in the way, making interceptions. Very impressive.

My eyelid has just gone into spasm.
For some reason that made me laugh


My ringpiece has been doing the same for about an hour.

Nothing worse than a laughing ringpiece.
Especially in a lift...
