Aston Villa vs AFC Bournemouth pre match thread

I think we will win. I usually fancy Bournemouth to get a decent result if they are at home but I don't think they are a particularly good away side.

Oh God, that's us fucked then!

[Smirker]

I think we can win this game but I don't think it will be easy. Bournemouth are a good side with good players and a clever young manager. I'd take a 1-0.

The big problem with Bournemouth, and one they still haven’t managed to address despite several years in the Premiership and all the fabulous wealth that entails, is that their badge looks for all the world like it belongs on a shampoo bottle or an ad for some sort of Dyson ball-shaped hairdryer.

It's bad. Ours is not much better though imo.

BFC conceded alot of goals last season , they should have played Mings .

Palace put 5 past them
soton 3
Liverpool 7 goals in 2 games
Arsenal 5
Spurs 5
Manure 4
even cardiff did them at home

I think we can get at them and score goals .
Id like to see Targett back at LB . I think he will stick with Elmo at RB but Guilbert was getting forward a lot in pre seson setting up goals .

Still think we will win by 2 or more

[Villafirst]

I'd like to see Marvelous given a chance. The guy has bundles of energy, pace and skill.

Targett and Guilbert both in but with Douglas in and sitting deeper (so he can help the central defenders on the counter), Jota on the right (because him and Guilbert looked good together in pre-season) and Trezeguet on the left. My slight concern is that Smith might think Douglas needs a bit longer before he's ready to start and I wouldn't want the fullbacks getting too high up the pitch with Hourihane as the deep midfielder.

3.2 to Villa

[ROBBO]

Will not be happy if he starts with the same midfield, we lost at spurs because the midfield couldn't cope with the pressure.

[Smirker]

One of Douglas/Marvelous will start I imagine. Trez, Anwar, Wesley will be the front 3. Jack and John make up the midfield. Back four picks itself imo.

[Legion]

Taylor or Targett?

[Smirker]

Targett.
