Title: Team for Saturday v Hull City
Post by: ROBBO on April 27, 2014, 03:47:30 AM
Lambert kept the same team as the previous week and again they were gutless, seeing as this week could be decisive as to whether we stay in the premiership what changes are possible. I would like him for once to be unorthodox and try something different even if it means playing one of the bigger defenders on the forward line, if he keeps the same team and the same tactics we will lose by a fair margin.

We're at home, fuck the stupid 4-3-3 counter attacking formation off and go for it.

GK   Guzan
RB   I'd put Hutton in cos he'd put some tackles in but he wont be playing so its got to be Lowton
CB   Vlaar
CB   Clark. Baker should never wear the shirt again. Failing Clark, put a youngster in for his debut, couldn't do any worse.
LB   Luna. Hes been sat out a while now, might be chomping at the bit.
RW  Bacuna
CM  Westwood
CM  Delph
LM  Albrighton - try him on the left, I recall him playing on the left and destroying West Ham on the opening day 4 years ago.
CF  Agbonlahor
CF The Fonz - get him back off Coventry quick. Failing that, Weimann. Weimann as a CF is ok. As bad as he and others have been I do think the "tactics" and set up this season have affected them.

Keep the ball down and pass it. Worked at Liverpool away, has worked quite well in one or two others. You see Lambert, if we hoof it, it goes straight to the opposition, and they tend to do things with it to hurt us.

Please take Baker out if the firing line and get Clarke back in. Lowton over Bacuna for me as he is marginally better at defending. Can't see what we could change in midfield, only Sylla on the sidelines and he won't improve it. I think we might have to start with Holt with Albrighton and Gabby. Weimann just isn't contributing is he?
We could all see in January that we needed more, we might be about to pay for the management shortsightedness.

I think we were reminded just how sound Lowton is defensively when Swansea scored their third, its pretty rare you can see an attacking player have so many unopposed touches in the box.
Title: Re: Team for next week
Post by: Walmley_Villa on April 27, 2014, 08:57:40 AM
I don't think he will change it but he should go for a solid 4-4-2. I would put Weimann on the bench as I think he could have more impact off the bench. Holt and Gabby up front with Albrighton and Bacuna on the wings. Hull will have Long and Jelavic up front as they can't play in the Cup Final so we need to be solid to keep them out.
A point should be enough to keep us up.
Title: Re: Team for next week
Post by: Clampy on April 27, 2014, 09:03:28 AM
Bearing in mind the amount of goals we're shipping at the moment, i'd go five at the back. It's a game we just can't afford to lose and a point might be enough.

I'd go.....

                      Guzan

Lowton  Clark  Baker  Vlaar  Bertrand

        KEA      Westwood    Delph

                 Gabby    Holt 

I know it looks a bit defensive but that's what it's come to i'm afraid.

Hull have a decent centre mid and strikers so I would go :

Brad

Lowton
Vlaar
Clark
Bertrand

Albrighton
Kea
Westwood
Delph
Gabby

Holt

Long and Jelavic will pull our back 4 all over the place so Baker is a definite no no, but we have to stop the ball getting to them in the first instance. I'd then want our wide men to stretch their defence and hope Holt gets on the end of one of their crosses.

Easy Mr Lambert !
Title: Re: Team for next week
Post by: exigo on April 27, 2014, 10:44:16 AM
Baker's a liability at the back, but he's the kind of player the midfield needs. Someone not afraid to fly in to take man and ball. So let's move him up the field twenty yards.

                   Guzan

Lowton    Vlaar   Clark   Bertrand

             Baker     Westwood
Bacuna         Delph           Albrighton

                Agbonlahor

With KEA, Robinson and Weimann first up the ramp if needed.

4-5-1 and stifle the life out of the game and hope to nick one on the break, a point is a bare minimum requirement. For me it's

Guzan

Lowton
Vlaar
Baker
Bertrand

Bacuna
Clark
Westwood
Albrighton

Delph

Agbonlahor

Weimann to be nowhere near the team and I'm only playing Baker with the thought he can't be any worse than he was against Swansea!

It's time to get the prayer mats out ladies and gents.

Post by: arnie66 on April 27, 2014, 11:57:46 AM
Shane Long ripped us apart with his movement when we played the stripey filth away.  We need defenders with the intelligence to track him and concentrate for 90 mins.

Huddlestone is both a physical presence and has great distribution I worry about our ability to stop him bossing the middle.

If we can stop these two we might have a chance at getting a result - draw or a sneaky win.

Cup final doesn't even begin to do it justice !!

Never thought I'd say this, but I'd start with Holt. A calming influence who's been in horrible situations like this before, frankly deserves to be in the team more than Weimann, offers more defending and attacking set pieces (you have to account for luck as much as possible in a game like this) and good at holding the ball up.

My team would be 4-5-1/4-3-3:

Guzan

Lowton
Vlaar
Clark (don't trust Baker)
Bertrand

Westwood
Delph
KEA

Albrighton
Gabby

Holt
Title: Re: Team for next week
Post by: achilles on April 27, 2014, 12:07:26 PM
Clark in midfield to give it some strength with Weimann playing off Holt, pace on the wings to get some crosses in.

                  Guzan

Lowton  Vlaar  Baker  Bertrand

Bacuna  Clark  Delph  Albrighton

          Weimann   Holt   

There is as much chance as that team being put out as me winning the lottery (which I don't do)!

I would go with the same team as Monty but with Bacuna at right back over Lowton.

If we're going to play somebody who will put crosses in, it might be a good idea to put someone upfront who can get on the end of the them. Something that Lambert seems to have totally missed in the last few weeks. Holt will also give this side the physical presence up top that it needs as well as offering a lot of experience and leadership.
Title: Re: Team for next week
Post by: Monty on April 27, 2014, 12:44:51 PM
I debated Lowton and Bacuna. I think that's the only real position I'm not sure of. Everything else is kind of chosen by virtue of the other options being unthinkably worse.

No wimmin and kids allowed as far as i know, so i'd replace Pan, wonderwoman and catwoman with Predator, Robocop and The Terminator. Animals probably ok, after all we've got a couple of carthorses in Baker and Holt playing and Albrighton looks like an Alsation.

The manager change would definately be an improvement.

I would try and get Helenius fit as something different. If we have to start that useless lump Holt we may as well forget it. Likewise, Baker had better not be in the same postcode as the starting eleven. Play Clark with Donacien as back up. Or have Bertrand move central with Bennett outside. Anything but that fucking oaf starting again.

Lowton right back, Bacuna in midfield with Delph and Westwood, Albrighton, Gabby and Helenius up front.
Oh, and somebody tell Gabby this could be his last game at Villa Park for Villa. See if he thinks that's worth a good laugh.

Take Baker to one side, tell him to take next Sat off to either shave off the student beard or at least trim and dye it the same colour as his head hair but to leave armpits and pubes alone.

Clacker should know enough about Shane Long's game from training sessions with Eire to keep the little fecker at bay.

                             Bacuna, Lowton, Vlaar, Baker, Clark, Donacien, Bertrand

                                                         Delph

We might keep a clean sheet and get the point we want.

No far too attach minded. Swap Bacuna for Baker and Bennett for Delph and we are all set to stop the amazing Shane Long.

Rimmer

That should do it.

Dome head instead of Sid? You must be joking
Rimmer
Gidman McNaugt McGrath Staunton
Bremner, Mortimer,  Platt
Shaw, Gray, Little

That should do it.

No Peter Withe? I know he hasn't scored for a while but no Villa team can be named without his name being included. It's the law. And rightly so.
OK that's why I appointed you as Assistant Managers!
Rimmer
Gidman McNaugt McGrath Staunton
Bremner, Mortimer,  Cowans
Shaw, Withe, Little

I think this team will whip Hull 6-0.

Well as assistant manager I have to tell you that Ken McNaught is constantly unhappy at you not being able to spell his name.

I reckon it'll be cautious:

Mardy Homesick Twat with Pushy Wife  - Never a Centre Half - Never a Premier League Footballer -  Vlaar -  At Least We Can Send Him Back

All Fart, No Shit - One Good Pass a Month Pansy  - Fabian Delph

In Comfort Zone Lazy Git - Fat Waste of Fucking Space

You'll note the lack of the only one to look half decent in recent weeks. That's because the manager is clueless.

No, I'd stick with Deakin rather than risk using "pass-back" Poutney. However, the fact that Mike Tindall was omitted is a serious mistake. Also, the fact that Lionel "twinkle toes" Martin's in the starting eleven shows just how far we've fallen.

I would be astounded if Helenius was even on the bench on Saturday. Lambert's decided he doesn't like him, and won't ever dare play him in case he proves undroppable.

All Fart, No Shit - One Good Pass a Month Pansy  - Fabian Delph

You'll note the lack of the only one to look half decent in recent weeks. That's because the manager is clueless.

Great post, but a few questions;
I'm assuming you mean Lowton 'Mardy Homesick Twat with Pushy Wife'. Whats all that about, not heard the story behind it :-) ?

'All Fart, No Shit - One Good Pass a Month Pansy' are we talking El-Ahmedi / Westwood in that order?

The others are pretty obvious.
