Aston Villa v Sheffield United Match Thread

Wow, I defy many to have got that starting 11 right !?

Lottery winning odds. 

[PaulWinch again]

No Samatta? Weird. Win Villa.

[TonyD]

Any fans turned up outside? 

[Mister E]

Hause and Mings ... 2 lefties in the middle; no holding MF unless Conor is supposed to do that job; where's the cover for their attacking WB?

I may be watching this from behind the sofa.

Didn’t expect that line up, but I think the key to getting out of this is making proper use of the squad and keeping all of the players fit. Injuries have really done for us at times. It’s going to be difficult, and I find the whole restart a bit weird but let’s see what happens.

[Legion]

Mad.

[Sexual Ealing]

El Ghazi at wing back maybe?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

No Samatta? Weird.

Yet he manages to find a place for El Ghazi who if you include it's 4-5-1 by the looks of it.

If I wasn't nervous enough with that line up, Hesgoals is now bloody blocked here.

[tomd2103]

Oh dear.  Really wish the season had ended early seeing that line up!

[Toronto Villa]

I’m not sure what the formation is meant to be and why Samatta, our very best forward isn’t starting. I will pull out my prayer mat as usual.

[Mister E]

What is the point of Borja?

[PeterWithesShin]

Listening on WM and I despair at some people. Some twat going on about how he's set up a gazebo near VP. Another one saying he's got 14 in the house to watch the game.

[CT]

Interesting how Kienan has nudged in ahead of Samatta.

Before the break, Samatta was fit and firing and now he’s on the bench.

[jwarry]

El Ghazi at wing back maybe?

That’s a good shout.  We know their CBs like to run down the wings so Targett and AEG May have been given the job to stop it, so three at the back it could be

[David_Nab]

Davis in as he is great at holding up the ball to allow others into the game.Samatta good option off bench for a late game assult with cross's into the box. I highly doubt we are getting a full game out of Davis
