West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Match Thread

[The Situation]

urgh not 5 at the back again. hasn't he learned his lesson from that?

and our most in form player isnt playing, wtf is going on.

[Chipsticks]

Just a point will see us climb to 17th as it stands.

Heady heights.

[Jimbo]

There goes our goal threat.

[andyh]

Midfield of Westwood and Delph. As opposed to bannan/delph or westwood/bannan.
oh dear.
Just shows we have no quality options at the club

[UK Redsox]

So, do I go into the ground now or stay in the car until the last minute?

[Jimbo]

Weimann just tweeted he's ill.

[Richard]

Hoping its 4 at the back as their midfield looks strong

[Legion]

So, do I go into the ground now or stay in the car until the last minute?

Don't you want to watch any more?

[Dante Lavelli]

We're desperate for a bit of steel in midfield aren't we.  If Nzogbia doesn't work his arse off then we will struggle in the middle again.

Thinking of not going in until the 89th minute?

[PaulWinch again]

Midfield is the clear problem area, but fingers crossed.

[Chipsticks]

Guzan, Lowton, Bennett, Vlaar, Clark, Baker, Westwood, Delph, N'Zog, Benteke, Gabby

I see this as either Clark, Delph, and Westwood midfield in a 4-3-3, or 4-4-2 with Zog and Bennett out wide.

Not that he has shown it, but he has been carrying on with the injury that kept him out of the Spurs game.

5 did us well with the games before Chelsea if it is that, and it also means Vlaar has some support when coming back from Injury. I wonder if he is looking at a 5-4-1

[Monty]

Frankly it looks like we've given up the midfield. Dangerous move if so.
