Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Mister E]

3 CB to counter Burnley's bruising forwards; is how I see it.

5 at the back. Just dont concede first or the plan's out the window.

[Mister E]

Villa fans cheering the shooting practice says it all regarding confidence

[LeeB]

Hmm. Back five, attacking full-backs to provide the width and attacking penatration = Neil Taylor.

Well, okay then.

Maybe it's Hause at left wing back with Taylor playing libero?

[OzVilla]

Would take a point and this makes us more solid. From small acorns grow great oaks. We shall see but I’m happy with the changes. He kinda had to after Watford.

[Malandro]

New year, new Wesley.

Yes and if that’s true it’s good to see us adapting to their style.

[Tuscans]

New year, new Wesley.

The Wesley v Everton would be enough.

I am walking up Table Mountain it’s hard work so Villa it can’t be this hard getting 3 points today so do it PLEASE

I wonder if he's moved Konsa to the centre of the park, although seems unlikely with both Nakamba and Luiz in there too?  We will see.

                    Heaton
Guilbert   Hause    Mings     Taylor
      Nakamba   Konsa   Luiz
Trezeguet    Wesley    Grealish

I would hope it’s this rather than Taylor playing as a wing back

[achilles]

Good to see DS adapting at last. Definitely should make us more solid, would have preferred Hourihane in there as we seem to have plenty of defensive options and hope that Grealish gets involved wherever he plays.

Start of a New Year and era, come on the boys! UTV

Corner for us, guaranteed goal

should’ve taken the cable car Aftab- a lot easier. You’d have time to get back down to watch the match 😉

[TonyD]

So what’s the formation?
