[PaulWinch again]

I'm actually happy with that side, come on you Villa boys.

[Iago]

Exciting line up.

[TheSandman]

It's an exciting team. At least we are looking like we want to win.

I don't expect that we will win but I'm happy so long as we are trying.

[VillaAlways]

Can't complain about that Were clearly going for it Pity I'm on my way to Preston

[TonyD]

Phew Heskey and Petrov out.  Would like to have seen Clark in the side but let's not get too greedy, AM is not that bright.  Should be exciting to see them go forward.

Come lads get into em.

[taylorsworkrate]

Much more like it Alex. 

[Ozzjim]

N'Zogbia injured?


Really hope Jenas, Albrighton and Bannan step up today and cement places in the side. Most pleasing selection of the season so far for me, but then will go and get thumped.

This is what we have been calling for, now let's not blame the manager if it goes tits up.

Looks like a very exciting line-up, one to have a real go at them.    My only concern is it probably means Bannan on the left, which I don't like.

Surprised Albrighton came straight into the team having not featured for a while - Zog not even on the bench?  Must be injured, or very much out of favour.

[Somniloquism]

5 defenders on the pitch for Manu, are they going defensive?

I rather get hammered 4-0 with the line up selected today than 2-0 with the lineup seen at Spurs.

Really hope Albrighton plays well.  In this game last season he was outstanding.

Bannan could be most advanced of three in the middle, with Marc and Gabby out wide.

Jones will start in midfield for them.

Gabby could be on the Left and Bannan behind Bent. Although the team looks good, it will all decide on how the manager sends them out. 10 behind the ball and Bent isolated up front to chase forlorn hoofs means it doesn't matter which 10 he picks.
