The Magnificent Aston Villa vs Burnley Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Steer, Baker, Vlaar, Bacuna, Cleverley, Agbonlahor, Westwood, Delph, Benteke, N’Zogbia, Grealish.

Bit of a strange line up in that not much change outside of giving Steer a game. Good to see Baker

Subs: Guzan, Sinclair, Weimann, Hutton, Sanchez, Robinson, Green.

[Singapore Villa]

Who is playing left back?

[UK Redsox]

How's that defence gonna line up ?

[Dave]

The much under-used 2-4-4 formation.

Presumably N'Zogbia at left-back?

[pauliewalnuts]

I'd have rested more players. That's a pointless risk for me - wouldn't play Benteke or Delph especially.

[Toronto Villa]

Blimey that's a good question.

Edit: in reply to the LB question from SV

[villasjf]

3 5 2?

[Lsvilla]

I'm guessing N'Zog

[UK Redsox]

If Gil injured? If not, it looks like that's that for him

[sc00by555]

Is that a 3-3-1-3 formation?

[Toronto Villa]

The much under-used 2-4-4 formation.

Presumably N'Zogbia at left-back?

Maybe. I've always wondered how he'd look as a wing back. I know he played a bit there at Newcastle very early on in his career.

[Toronto Villa]

If Gil injured? If not, it looks like that's that for him

The end for sure. If he can't get into this exhibition side he's not getting in.

[ozzjim]

Playing Delph benteke Vlaar or grealish this week seems pointless

[UK Redsox]

If Zog is LB, it looks like Tim iis trying out an ultra attacking in case it's needed last week

[Toronto Villa]

I'm really surprised about this team to be honest. I understand momentum and not disrupting things too much. The fact that we shit it last week may have affected the managers thinking too. But we could have started one of the kids today and played Sinclair for example and rested Jack.
