Aston Villa v Rapid Vienna Match Thread

[Legion]

Available Thursday afternoon.

[toplad4u]

Guzan; Cuellar, Collins, Davies, Beye; Reo-Coker, Ireland, Petrov, A Young; Agbonlahor, Heskey. Subs: Delfouneso, Clark, Lichaj, Bannan, Albrighton, Hogg, Friedel.

[Somniloquism]

Cueller as RB? or LB?

[Matt Collins]

I find it relatively amusing that KM was heralded as bringing such a refreshed tactical approach to MON. But we've seen

- the return of 4--4-2 at Newcastle
- Cuellar at right back

Not a dig at KM, just a thought!

Presumably tonight it's either 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2?

That team won't have too much width any way though I reckon. Neither full back a natural, at most one wide player. Should still be strong enough tonight though.

[TheSandman]

Might be a defensive three with Beye as a wingback?

Strong looking lineup IMO.

[PaulWinch again]

Come on you Villa boys, I'll be at a gig for most of this.

[Arsey]

At least Young can play now that Spurs are in the CL.

[Arsey]

Perhaps Davies is playing LB?

[TheSandman]

Come on you Villa boys, I'll be at a gig for most of this.

Anyone good?

[PaulWinch again]

Oh it's a mates gig, they're pretty good though. Decent little venue as well, Kasabian have played there in the past amongst others.

I'm hoping ITV are wrong about the formation, Reo is not a right wing and Petrov and Ireland aren't well suited to a midfield two. I hope it's more of a diamond.

[Toronto Villa]

I was hoping to see Shane Lowry at LB tonight. Still, it will be interesting to see how they set up and play. It's a line up designed to attack that's for sure.

[eastie]

Rather cuellar at centre half but I can't believe he's starting heskey- how many chances does that guy get , I'd rather give the fonz a game , heskeys never going to win us over .

Hopefully randy can get us a manager now he's flying back to the uk- kmac is too good a coach to lose , but he is no manager.

[pauliewalnuts]

Where is he playing Cuellar if Beye is on the pitch?

[Toronto Villa]

Has he gone with 3 CB's and Beye playing in front perhaps? If not, Beye at LB is a curious move.

[eastie]

I expect beye at left back , should win if we can get an early goal.
