Aston Villa v Leicester City - Pre Match Thread. Sunday 2.05pm.

[Risso]

I'd be tempted to swap McGinn and Sanson in that formation, Rambo.

Or push them both into a press. You smother the midfield and stop early transition to Vardy.

Interestingly and depressingly reading a Leicester forum, they said Vardy shouldn't start as he's an old man now and can't be run into the ground. An old man. He's 34. I'm 34 *looks into the distance, tears in eyes*.

[ROBBO]

Cannot fathom why he persists with JM in midfield defence, he would be far more effective closer to goal.

I wasn't married, and had no kids at 34.

You could be well be right on that. To be honest don’t know enough about Sanson, so just hoping he has ability and runs round more than Barclay, which won’t be hard on current showing. I do miss the old McGinn rampaging forwards.
I’m 47 tomorrow, 34 seems like a golden youthful age!!

Cheers, a villa win on Sunday would make the weekend

34 for a Premier League player, who has been dependent on their pace, is no spring chicken. That's the sort of terrority where you would be looking to have someone younger as a starter and to use him as an impact player from the bench. At least that's how I look at it so to not despair.

I too am 34. I suspect that Mr Vardy is probably in slightly better shape than myself.......

Behave yourself..in my mind you've just about finished University.

[Drummond]

At 49 I'm more than old enough to be a grandfather to some of our younger players. Yet still I try and do the 5-a-side, hardly a surprise I have to rely on anything I've got other than pace.

At 34 I'd have been past it too

[Meanwood Villa]

Gareth Barry was our first player younger than me. Suffice to say they all are now. My Dad tells me it gets worse, as the managers and then owners become younger than you.

Same age as you Drummond, and likewise not exactly Watkins quick around the 5 aside pitch. Reckon I'd have Ross McCormack in a race though!

I was more annoyed when I read yesterday that a 23-year old Billionaire heir had bought Sunderland. I'm old enough to be his father and he now owns a club the size of Sunderland.

Is the club the same size as the city?

Could be a corker. I predict a cricket score.  Who to though remains to be seen.
