I'm surprised Gabby is playing he hasn't earnt it. However come on you Villa boys. 3-5-2?

[PaulWinch again]

Also Bent is never going to get into form if we keep dropping him.

[VillaAlways]

I'm getting more and more convinced that Bent is being forced out of the door

Herd right back I think

[eastie]

Surprised Herd at right back ahead of lichaj and that gabby is ahead of bent and Weimann, let's go get em boys!

[PaulWinch again]

Ah that makes sense. I'm not sure what Lambert is doing with Bent it seems very strange. I'm happy enough to see Benteke start, but it should be with Bent.

[paulcomben]

Why no Lichaj? Does PL just pick names from a hat game by game or does he actually have a plan? Bent, Bannan and Ireland, in particular, must wonder about the thought process.

[eastie]

Midfield looks lacking in spark and with a midfielder at right back and right back at centre half it's a worry.

[Percy McCarthy]

Gabby for Bent doesn't seem strange at all to me. Or Paul Lambert, so that'll do me.

[l_mckay]

Bent should be starting in front of gabby I think. Please please win today,nervous already. Come on you villa!!!!!

[Toronto Villa]

It does seem that he sees Benteke and Gabby as the future. If he does go then that cash needs to be reinvested almost immediately. Mind you, Bent did next to fuck all at Fulham last week. I trust Lambert so I really hope he's playing this one right.

[PaulWinch again]

Bent's interview is fair enough on Sky.

Of to the boozer now to watch the game. Fingers crossed, again.
