Aston Villa vs Bournemouth Pre-match thread

[devilla]

I think Bournemouth's priority will be promotion but Lambert won't be arsed with a cup match so I fear for us. I'm going to this one with my daughter and it's our first game for ages so I hope to McGrath that we at least put on a decent performance.

I want Cleverley dropped and Gil to start but I can see a lot of first team players being dropped which could be a good thing based on recent performances.

[Dazvillain]

They've been playing their second / third choice in previous rounds . Their tickets went on general sale today . They've got great support and a have sold out upper north and virtually upper DOUG ellis....over 4000 so far .
Gonna be scarey !

I think we will win this one fairly comfortably.

[walsall villain]

Can't see many changes to our line up. I think we will be taking this seriously as we need a win from somewhere. I find the tension of our league games horrible so I am looking forward to this.

Defeat

[olaftab]

We will win probably 2-0.

It's laughable that after almost 3 seasons we don't know his best team!
I hope the young lady has a very good game to watch and we win.

[Legion]

We do know his best team. It's the one he keeps on selecting despite there being other far better alternatives due to his pig-headed stupidity.

this will be a great test for the championship next season

[WarszaVillan]

I'll be going to this with my daughter, we only get to 1 or 2 games a season when we get over to Brum and she started to come with me during Houllier's season. Her record so far over the : 4 defeats and 2 draws

[silhillvilla]

4-3 home win .

[Bully2345]

They'll attack so maybe there will be gaps for us to exploit, if we can remember how. I'm hopeful.

Sounds like Grealish might go out on loan after the game so that suggests he might get a gig before he goes.

Given

Hutton
Okore
Clark
Cissokho

Delph
Sanchez

Grealish
Gil
Weimann

Benteke

[silhillvilla]

Do we have any LB cover ? Stevens ? Is he still here ?
I'd like to a we cissoko rested , he is gash.

[Legion]

Enda is long gone.

Cissokho is far from 'gash'. He is a decent, solid defender.

[Ger Regan]

I've a feeling he might go for a 0-10-0 formation.
