That is the point though you don't need to play with centre forwards, Arsenal, Liverpool do it!
So why doesn't Bruce change the system (do we have one) to suit what players he has available, that is what clever managers are supposed to do, change tactics to suit the occasion.

Arsenal and Liverpool have attacking midfielders who can replace the centre forward and play as 'false' forwards. Who out of our midfielders could do that?

Gardner maybe, assuming we can put him in a car

When did Villa last have midfielders you could rely on for 7-10 goals per season ?
If you count the Young, Barry Downing Milner seasons, then your talking Prem Top 6 skills ....not the kind of mid Championship awful set-up we have nowadays.

Grealish has 3, if he gets his form back at all he should be getting 8-10. Definitely need a goal threat from one of our centre midfielders, Bacuna scored a nice one v Burton but none of them are making that run all season really. Gardner maybe v QPR

As for Flabby, I think Bruce took the pragmatic option when he came in, Sherwood got the fat one firing for a while when he came in and we needed cover for Ayew and Kodjia. Think he has been decent enough coming in as a sub (QPR, Cardiff, Blues anyway) but he really isnt much of a goal threat these days. He looks a punch drunk boxer to be honest and yet has impressed more than the likes of McCormack.

Agbonlahor is the falsest forward I've seen in a while.

N'zmaf that was soooooo funny. Thanks for the laff.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

Sorry N'ZmaV, I was still laughing and hit "mis-spell".

Talking of Gardner having vehicular transport to get up with the forwards......maybe we should petition van Basten to change the rules ?
Or unilaterally declare VP to be an " offside-free zone" in advance, so our larger, slower poachers don't have to run far to have a chance to miss a goal ?

When are the club arranging Gabby's testimonial?

It's being held in one of those all-you-can-eat buffet places at Flabby's personal request.

He's like a man possessed running and would be a touch if he gets a goal to cap this so far very hard working and team performance.

[villabear]

Apparently torn his hamstring and will be out for 'two to three' months.

[kippaxvilla2]

Ah well that gives him time to work on his weight....

[Bad English]

Just bumping this to remind everyone that he is a fucking twat and wears worse clothes than me.

[N'ZMAV]

no reminder required.
