Aston Villa vs West Brom pre match thread

[silhillvilla]

Really?! He's pretty active on the touchline, but you'd rather trust our goalkeeping coach rather than our manager or assistant manager to decide our substitutions?

Certainly over Tactics Tim , yes.

Oi sillhillvilla have you finished trawling through my posts yet or are you going to admit you just make stuff up in an attempt to back up whatever ludicrous point it is you're trying to make?

Eh ? I've questioned Sherwood on his subs
Not a controversial point IMHO

[KRS]

I think we're more likely to see Gueye make an appearance than Gil or Traore tomorrow...

                    Guzan

Hutton   Richards   Lescott   Amavi

                   Sanchez

      Westwood              Gueye

                    Grealish

             Gabby       Sinclair

Despite being 442, the formation will rotate between 4321 and 4231.

[silhillvilla]

I'd go


                    bunn

Hutton   Richards   Lescott   Amavi

                   Sanchez

      Vertout          Gueye

                    Grealish

             Gabby       Sinclair

After last season’s encounters, I thought of this picture. Made me smile.
From the Sports Argus 06/11/1920.

Good find. I've always thought that the Villain character was a Norman Edwards invention. Live and learn.

[KRS]

Ah I see you have Parks doing our goalkeeping substitutions already!

I'm not sure TS trusts Veretout at the moment but I would agree that he should come on in the second half to firm up the midfield and I dont think he should play Gueye for 90 minutes if theres any question marks over his injury.

Agree, bring Gana on in 65th minute when we are 2 up and take Gabby off

[KRS]

Well we have to see how the game is going before deciding substitutions...scoreline, fitness, injuries and tactics are all things to be considered. Gabby will probably play the full 90 minutes as we may well need an out ball through the channels if we start to invite pressure in the second half...he's still a better option than Gestede and Ayew. If one of the midfield is struggling then I'd like to think he's learned his lesson and bring on Veretout, Richardson or Clark.

[silhillvilla]

I'd like to see Kozak feature at some point tomorrow

[KRS]

I'd be surprised if he even makes the squad...reports suggest he was pretty crap in the U21s the other day even though he did score the penalty.

That's what he does though - scores goals . That's why I'd place him ahead of Gestede and Ayew

[VancouverLion]

2-0 Sinclair 56, Gestede 77

Routine win & on to the next one!

No. You seemed pretty certain I spend my time in here ripping the piss out of Manchester United supporters and said you were going through my posts to prove it. That was over a week ago and I'm still waiting for you to find something that I know you won't find.

Or are you going to admit you just make stuff up?
