We are playing 3 centre halves? Oh well come on you Villa boys.

Cuellar and Hutton?

5 - 3 - 2 ?

Or Hutton in a defensive midfield role?

[Toronto Villa]

What is that? 5-3-2, or is Collins and Herd playing in front of the back 4 in 4-2-3-1 system?

[AV82EC]

Park the bus then.

Hmmm

[andyh]

Heskey ?

[eric woolban woolban]

Mountfield - Nielsen - McGrath.

[Rigadon]

Can't see much point playing Emile in this one, Spurs aren't much of a threat in the air and that's Emile's biggest benefit.  Balckburn away: yes.  Spurs away: hmmm.  Hope he proves me wrong.

[Rigadon]

Hutton must be playing wide right to double up on Bale.  It makes some sense as he's better going forward.  But, it really is a defensive line up and one devoid of creativity in midfield.

10 across the goal line with Gabby on his own in the centre circle?

[PaulWinch again]

I wish we wouldn't continue to use Heskey in this role, but hopefully we'll pull off a surprise result.

[TheSandman]

That is a bizarre selection. Hope it pays off.
