Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic Match Thread

[Fergal]

Right, I'm off to eat some prunes.

Take care in the second half....

[Irish villain]

Well HT..... Well despite all my moaning we were getting a bit better towards the end of the first half...

All it takes is a scrappy villa goal and we could grow in confidence. We are due a slice of luck aren't we?

[pauliewalnuts]

So glad I didn't go to this one today.

Nice and warm at home, glass of red on the go. Looking at the rain there, it looks utterly fucking wretched.

[Monty]

Lichaj has been pretty good to be fair Herd should move to the middle and have a solid 4 defence.

Lichaj has been comically terrible, and Herd just looks lost since the shallacking at Chelsea.

[ozzjim]

Oh and changes, Holman wide left, Lichz off for Albrighton down the right, and give Ireland 15 minutes before hooking him for Westwood. Go 4-4-2 and give it everything

[Jarpie]

At least with Bennett I've seen him go past a man, I've never seen Lichaj do that he's shit. Herd is massively overrated by some Villa fans because he came in with a bit of bite last year, but he's fucking rubbish as well. Awful, end of. No excuses this is shit.

Agreed, Herd and Lichaj need to be replaced asap and shipped to championship.

Need to play 4-4-2 with the widemen doubling up on Wigan's wingers. Lichaj hasn't given the ball away in silly positions Bennett has both ain't good enough at second.

[Tuscans]

I hate to say it but do we actually miss Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Cuellar and Warnock...im joking, but do we?

I'd say 4-2-3-1/-4-3-3, but I agree about the width.

[PaulWinch again]

Right I don't really know where to start, but Westwood on for Herd and a 4-4-2 will do.

Who will play in central defence or should we just do away with it?

Lowton.

[picicata]

Lichaj really is having a poor game. Switch to four at the back and bring Carruthers on as he will at least try and beat a man and get at them.

Collins maybe due again he was hit and miss

[Boz]

Got little to lose now, go for broke, Ireland off and Westwood on with Albrighton on for Liechaj

[TaxDodger]

Lichaj and Herd might be shit but at least they try. Ireland can just fuck off. I'm really starting to detest him.

[Goldie.7]

Southampton 3-1 up at Stoke

Who cares. This isn't the other games thread.
