dubai_phil Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Don't be worried. We have Gaston. I reserve the right to stay worried until MLG gives us Gaston's stats as a CB in place of Jos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 If we don't cause that Villa defense problems, then there is something wrong with us! They are tosh. Their attack is handy, and will cause us problems I'd guess, but we've got to work that back 4. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Call me a loony but I'm wondering if Adkins will start with De Ridder vs Villa? I can see him attacking the box from the left and Puncheon from the right scaring the life out of Villa's defence. I'll keep taking the tablets....

I can see him attacking the box from the left and Puncheon from the right scaring the life out of Villa's defence. I'll keep taking the tablets.... It would be a decent tactic, if he was actually any good. He'd just run into blind alleys, run into people, and give away free kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles31 Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 They cannot defend. Puncheon will have a field day on the right. They are awful sorts get 3 points please. Keep Benteke quiet and we will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 People will say that we can't defend etc, but throughout the season we've always had a decent set up - at the start we were just a little gung ho, and many of the goals we conceded were from individual errors, slips, OG's etc. Gary Neville brought it up a few months back, paused it before a goal we conceded and said our set up was fine...it was just a slip which caused the goal. Happened a few other occasions as well. We've cut that out, players have adjusted, and we still have a decent defensive setup through the whole side, which now shows with a little tweaking. Villa, generally, don't. They just don't work or defend as a team anywhere, that's the difference in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 Play the same team as against Arsenal, but with Clyne at right-back and Cork in for Davis centre midfield, Hooiveld for Fonte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 8 January, 2013 Share Posted 8 January, 2013 I just pray Clyne is back for us, so it allows Cork back in the. If not then I'd rather see Frazer back at RB. Think our front 6 has to consist of Cork/Morgan/Punch/Gaston/Lambert +1 of J-Rod/Guly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 Don't see why we wouldn't start Guly, considering he has proved he can put in a good cross from the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Posted 9 January, 2013 Share Posted 9 January, 2013 We should start with same attacking line up as in Stoke Game. Jay Rod and Guly deserve to start imo. Ramirez on bench. Cork back in CM and Clyne RB. Unfortunatley Jos will play which is the biggest worry for me. Hopefully Ireland won't start as he was causing us quite a few problems in reverse fixture, before going off injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - Ramirez played really well vs Arsenal and is madness not to start him in a game like this. These games are exactly the reason we went to all the effort to sign him because he will be thebest player on the pitch! Team should be this: --------------------Any keeper---------------- Clyne--------Fonte/Jos----------Yoshida------Shaw ---------------Cork-----------Morgan----------- Puncheon-----------Ramirez---------------Guly --------------------Lambert------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
