They are there for the beating

How many times have we said this for 'winnable' fixtures?

I hope he switches it up and rotates, I'd drop Cleverley and start Grealish, Bacuna and N'Zog.

I'd also drop Cissokho if Vlaar can manage this many games so soon, him with Okore, Clark and Hutton looks pretty solid to me.

The width can come from either Bacuna, Zoggy or Grealish and we wouldn't have to see any of Aly's piss poor crossing.

            -Guzan-
                   
Hutton--Okore--Vlaar--Clark
   
     Sanchez----Delph

Bacuna---Grealish---N'Zogbia

            -Benteke-


Weimann will definitely start and probably Cleverley, so it's a toss up of any of my forward 3 who will replace Gabby.

With Bacuna in the team I can see us getting some decent deliveries into Benteke; I'd rather see him over N'Zogbia.

Once we have concluded our never ending search for that elusive second goal we might go on and score more....


Oh No we can't...........Oh Yes we can!!!

I think it's really important we win today so that Lambert doesn't abandon trying to pass the ball.

I'd rather you play than CNZ

I'd rather play with ten men than play CNZ. Oh it's the same thing isn't it?

I'm going for a 2-0 win. Sunderland are poor and i genuinely think with Gabby being out we stand a better chance.

Has to be a win today.

We don't have that many key injuries. The opposition aren't in good form. We have a new plan. We are at home. There seems no excuse why we can't play some football today and get a good result and performance.

2-0 Villa boys.

Hi, Im sure this has been mentioned before but I cant find it anywhere. Can anybody help me with  the best time to go and see the players arrive? Im taking my son for his second game.  The last time I got an autograph (when I was a boy) the club shop was where they now go in!

Thanks
