Aston Villa vs Swansea Pre-Match Thread

Give the captaincy to Guzan.

Yep. He's our most vocal player by far.

[aj2k77]

We could do with a centre back and centre mid like Guzan. Someone who opens his bloody mouth and tries to organise the headless rabble about them.

I remember a team full of captains. Staunton, Teale, Richardson and Houghton all big talkers and backed up by Bosnich and Mcgrath.

 Now we have a team full of shrinking violets, nice, quiet, hard working, young and hungry losers.

3-0 Swansea they're going to play us off the park.

At least Westwood is back so we can drop the hapless KEA.

Is Westwood much better than El Ahmadi? Not in my eyes.

I think he is. He's been awful this year but last season he showed he has got potential. El Ahmadi just looks plain out of his depth.

[Damo70]

We look a shambles and the atmosphere will be moody. Swansea have underachieved this season due to their fixture list but rested a load of players yesterday. I cannot think of one reason to say we will win. Except for the old 'you never know/football is a funny old game'.

It's absolute shite.

4 academy players
3 players from the 3rd tier
1 free signing
1 from the polish league
1 from the dutch league

Garbage team. It's also only 10 men, gotta lump another donkey in unfortunately.

[Matt Collins]

Swansea have had more possession than any side this season, and we've had least bar crystal palace

So I'm pretty confident we'll be passed off the park. But as with Southampton and citeh, it's possible this may suit us and we can exploit them on the break

However, I do think it's got 0-2 written all over it

It's also a team that was very much second best to another team that looks like a championship team yesterday.

[Clampy]

I'd throw Bacuna and Gardner into the midfield with Delph and have Gabby and Albrighton either side of Kozak.

I think it's possibly the worst team I've ever seen suggested on a pre match thread on the basis that:

1) it's only got ten players
2) most of those players are pretty shit
3) it's a nonsensical formation with Tonev and albrighton as wing backs

10 11 or 12 , dont make much difference

I'm taking my daughter to the game tomorrow, we only get over for one or two a season. Her record so far: four games, four losses, three managers

[Damo70]

We played with just a goalkeeper and no outfield players yesterday. Luckily the keeper kept it to only 0-1.

I got a free ticket for tomorrows match for filling in a questionnaire. I've given it away though as yesterday was the final straw, it's supposed to an enjoyable time of year
