Aston Villa vs Arsenal Match Thread

Baker out,  Clark in. Good job we signed Senderos!

Whats up with Okore? 5th choice at the moment when he was highly thought of

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah I do wonder when Okore is going to get a game. It's a pretty strong Arsenal side, I really hope we turn up.

[PaulWinch again]

Win please Villa.

[Ozzjim]

Aston Villa: Guzan; Hutton, Senderos, Clark, Cissokho; Cleverley, Westwood, Delph; Weimann, Agbonlahor, Richardson

I didn't think so actually, not relatively speaking anyway, I think we can get on top of them in midfield

[Ozzjim]

I just think it's fitness with Okore. Is he playing reserve games?

[Toronto Villa]

Guzan, Senderos, Hutton, Clark, Cissokho, Delph, Westwood, Cleverley, Richardson, Weimann, Agbonlahor (c)

subs: Given, Bacuna, Okore, Sanchez, Grealish, Lowton, N’Zogbia.

In from the cold is Ciaran Clark which is a bit of stunner. Baker has to be injured which is a real shame. There must be some strategy to this as Clark is more left sided than Okore or Baker so maybe that came in the thinking. I'm all for rotation and picking players for certain circumstances. Let's just hope Clark does for us what Baker did last week. Okore is obviously being slowly brought back in. He's still one for the future.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah I hope it's just a case of them not wanting to rush Okore back.

[Toronto Villa]

No Sanchez for them in the starting line up is a bit of a plus

[Lastfootstamper]

Baker's picked up a virus.

I think he is starting isn't he?

[PaulWinch again]

Oh yeah I see he's dropped to the bench now.

[supertom]

Lowtons back in from the cold I see.

[OCD]

Baker's picked up a virus.

Same for Darren Bent. Probably why Lowton's on the bench.
