Norwich City v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Tuscans]

The small amounts of Norwich I've seen they don't look a bad outfit. I think we'll lose if the same team, style and mentality goes there. With Okore certain to miss out I would go for this....

                                      Guzan

Bacuna         Baker                        Vlaar            Clark

                                 
                      Delph                     Sylla

                                  Helenius 

Agbonlahor                  Benteke                      Tonev


Reasons for this are I would of dropped Lowton as I think he's been dreadful so far....could put Herd there maybe but I'm willing to give him one more game to shape up. Secondly Westwood for me offers little playing the deep midfielder so Im going to give Bacuna a chance. With Helenius he quoted he likes to play behind the front man and had some clever flicks and touches in pre season so I'll give him a try in the hole and see if he can do what we haven't. He might of scored a good goal against Arsenal but Luna looks very poor defensively for me so I'm going to give Clark a crack and lastly I'm dropping Weimann for Tonev on the basis I've never thought Andi looks majorly comfortable playing as a wide forward so I think we need to let Tonev try and reproduce some of his Youtube magic.

Bollocks, I forgot about Sylla....scrap that and put Bacuna in for Lowton and Sylla in Bacunas place.

I wouldn't have Clark at full back. I have visions of Barry at Reading.

We're an excellent away side, who have looked a bit clueless at home. We certianly need a central three, but the blend and balance has to be right.

Did someone really just suggest Clark at full back

[darren woolley]

1-1 Draw for me with Benteke scoring.

I keep forgetting who we have....I'll give a Bennett his place back.

I reckon he'll only make a couple of changes at the most, a replacement for Okore and Sylla for KEA. They've proved they're a decent side away from home so there's no need to change it around too much.

[JUAN PABLO]

he is not going to drop gabby but needs to drop weimann and El ahmadi and lowton will be lucky to start .

[PeterWithesShin]

Tonev, or even The Gladiator in for Weimann for me. And Sylla to start.

We'll win, or draw. We 100% won't lose.

Agree with the changes and I'd consider Bacuna coming in for either Westwood or Lowton. It's vital that the players are aware if their performance is below par they won't be playing. I'm not sure Westwood, Weimann or Lowton believe that at the moment.

It's what we were both saying on Saturday after the game Paul. I really hope PL thinks the same. I want the 11 on the pitch to know their shirt is up for grabs if they don't perform and Weimann has this season to look anything like last seasons player. Gutted as I rate him but we can't keep carrying him.

Yep I believe Weimann is a talent and he can come back, but at the moment he doesn't warrant a place in the side. The same goes for Lowton and Westwood, but the former has the advantage that we didn't bother to sign any direct competition for him.

Norwich 2-0 Aston Villa
I'm afraid Lambert has lost the plot tactically again.

[LeeB]

We'll smash these twats.

3-0 Villa.

Away from home? You sure?
