Quote from: Clampy on April 28, 2014, 01:22:40 PMQuote from: Monty on April 28, 2014, 01:18:24 PMI'm starting to wonder if we should play three at the back. Hull usually play with two strikers, and three centre backs as a system was designed to counter this. That's why it worked so well against Liverpool - two man-markers and a sweeper. But then how would we play Albrighton? I don't know what to do. It's desperate.I'd go three at the back and two full backs mainly because our midfield is so weak and more importantly, we can't afford to lose.Yep, 'cause it worked so well at Palace

At least we've got Baker to deal with Long.

Gabby could be a really good bench option, whatever the score, just to stretch the game when everyone's a bit tired, and to make those Hull players wonder if they can really be bothered chasing down a fresh Gabby in the 70th minute with that Cup final coming up.

It didn't look like we did though.
4-4-2Holt and Helenius up top to rough up Davis and Chester, neither of whom are very big. Albrighton and Bacuna down the sides. Lowton in as he can also cross a ball well and get Delph/ Kea running into the box too. Won't happen, but it is how I would play it. Lambert's Villa will lose. 3-1 with the final goal being a last 5 minute break away. Long to get 2. Baker to start and look like a shambles at centre half. Shave the beard son, only the great Swede was worthy of it, you are not my friend. No way.
Can Callum Robinson play the Marcus Allbäck role and score the late winner? Now that would be an absolutely wonderful thing to celebrate towards the end of a shitful season.I still consider Allbäck a bit of a hero for that goal even though he wasn't much chop with the Villa.
