Villa vs West Ham Match Thread

[Brazilian Villain]

Where is Bert?

East Manchester.

[Monty]

Back to our more natural formation, one up front, for the first time Bailey and Buendia start together, and in their preferred positions no less. Let's hope this is it.

Worried about the centre of the park

Mings dropped shows smith isnt happy with how much of a liability he has been.

[gpbarr]

Wake up for Mings - he deserved to be dropped and finally has been.

Worried about the centre of the park

Mings dropped shows smith isnt happy with how much of a liability he has been.

And also shows that all that crap people posted about him not being strong enough was indeed crap.

[RamboandBruno]

Excited to see the front three. Hope the midfield 3 cope as there is nothing much on the bench to replace them if going wrong. Huge call leaving the skipper out. Deans made big calls, lets hope we play well

[Drummond]

A lot of youngsters today. Archer, Ramsey, Ramsey, Chukwuemeka, Davis

[PaulWinch again]

I like seeing Buendia and Bailey either side of Ollie

[Risso]

Where is Bert?

Good question. Was supposed to be in contention for Arsenal 9 days ago.

Bench is pretty weak so he would've been good option as when he's on it he can create or score out of little.

Thigh injury still.

So... the Villa injury rumours turned out to be true and the West Ham injury rumours turned out to be bollocks? That's me shocked.

Surely Davis is in his thirties by now?

[Legion]

Hope Archer gets some game time.

[Demitri_C]

Good to see aaron ramsey on the bench.  He looks a promsing player

[Villa Lew]

Happy with the team, pity we haven't got Bert and Sanson on the bench.

Runs like a man in his 50s.
