Newton Heath LYR FC v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[mozza]

yes an away defeat but please let the team express themselves McLeish - you might be surprised
at how we can play if the shackles are taken off ................

[Ron Manager]

 I think its about time Wayne lost his rag again and get himself sent off    If that happens McDuff will flood the midfield play for a 0-0  and claim a moral victory if we hold them off.

Conversely Utd will go on the offensive  and hammer us 4-0.

Agbonlahor will... hold the ball up.

Stat in the Sun. At the moment Gabby is one of 14 players to have scored three times against Manure at OT since football began. If he scores a 4th he will be out on his own.

McShite just has to use that stat to get gabby motivated!

Only because he tears Vidic apart.

But, if I'm honest.. Gabby's lost his way.

Just changed my two week old sons nappy, and was greeted with a massive stinking pile of shit that turned my stomach. I fear I will be viewing the same sort of thing in 12 or so hours

Bet365 are offering 18-1 for Gabby to score 1st goal, and 5-1 any time in the game. I took a punt on any time before I read that stat

I hope Ireland proves to be fit, some rumors he's come up injured. Clark and Bannan always seem to do well against United. Lichaj on the right please, an Gabby on the outside as he's been useless up the middle our last few matches.

Come on boys, dig deep. Up the Villa.

I think it's a big ask for weimann to play the lone front role. Otherwise I like the look if the team. Perhaps weimann can swap with gabby if we're really struggling to keep the ball

I wouldn't play lichaj. I don't think he looks up to it

[Rigadon]

Think villadeph's team would struggle to get the ball back. Also think warnock is having a decent spell so would play him over Hutton. We've got to try and take the game to them wherever possible and ride our luck.  If we sit deep we will be embarrassed. There's a bit of pressure on them so maybe that'll help.  We absolutely must not concede an early goal.

[andyh]

I look at that team and formation and see a midfield that is so lightweight. We are going to get steamrollered I'm afraid.

[martyn ellis]

Warnock is injured from last week (ankle), along with Herd, Albrighton, Bent.

[Holte L2]

3-0 win Heskey hatrick
