He's playing as a holding player.

There's no way of alter the system to face a side 19th in the table who have only scored 22 goals.

Tuanzebe is built and runs like a young Micah Richards, don’t you think. Anyway I don’t think we should be dropping Elmo.
Elmo was poor last week apart from his top drawer finish at the Holte End

Can I just remind everybody at Aston Villa, the Meaning Evil, on talkshows, phone-ins, social media, and internet forums that F Agbonlahor may NOT be selected for Sunday's 'derby' fixture.

This is due to him being a useless, piss-taking waste of space.

Thank you.

Perfect job for Gabby on Sunday

Ball boy in front of their mob - would give him some running to do - just to avoid the coins and spittle.

Let him come on and score the winner, again. Hopefully it'll help us towards promotion, and them towards relegation, and mean that we no longer have to concern ourselves with the two games a season in which Agbonlahor is seen as an asset.

His winning goal on Sunday can be his farewell before being released.

He won us the game last year, scoring the winner and winding the rags up. I'd take that again. Just the mention of his name in the pub last night had the Albion fans pulling faces like vampires when faced with a crucifix, imagine how the 'noses feel?

I'm with everyone that wants to see him gone, but while he's here we might as well make use of him, if needed. On the bench just to worry the Rags for me. On if we are desperate.

With respect: 'No!'. The current squad can dick Blues to high heaven without Onegoalayear.

If he's even half fit I'd have him on the bench. They are shit scared of him.

We rarely do, though. And "Onegoalayear" could be all we need, as it was last season. Stick him on the bench. We are already paying him and they are frightened of him. It makes no sense to cut our nose off to spite our face.

I'm going for a 2-0 win I just think we will have too much for them.

Regarding strikers, his fifth best or worse behind Hogan, Grabban, Davis and O'Hare, so hopefully he's nowhere near the bench.

Slightly off topic, but are small rucksacks allowed in?. Couple of friends from Hamburg coming over, who need to head for airport straight after the game. Thanks.

As long as they are small and they do not mind emptying the contents out to be searched. A similar size to a school rucksack that would carry maybe sandwiches and a flask. Anything like the size of a carry on aircraft bag or small suitcase and they will not be allowed in and there is no storage facility at VP.
