S-Clarke Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 Villa aren't as bad as they were last year, but they're still not much cop. Benteke up top will be their biggest threat, but we *should* be able to create against their defense. Would go with Lambert up top with Lallana, Jay...and get this for a bit of a shake up, Gaston in behind, as that Villa home game last year was his highlight saints moment. It won't happen though. I'd pop JWP in CM alongside Wanyama, assuming Morgan is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 Really need to bounce back, especially with Man City looming. Need to win these type of games to finish in the top half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston has been failing to make the match day 18 recently, I suspect his career here might already be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentsaint Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 According to the premier league table, this is out 2nd hardest home fixture so far, close to the tigers. After today's result I felt optimistic, we've played arsenal, Chelsea, united and Liverpool away and have all the big boys at home. Should beat villa with this team: Boruc Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw VW Schneiderlin Lallana J rod Osvaldo Lambert Let's see what osvaldo can do at home where we have possesion and numbers forward.

melmacian_saint Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 Thankfully this one comes soon enough after the last 2 weeks. I wouldn't change the team a lot as we haven't particularly performed terribly against better opposition and in a game where we can have some dominance it's important to give the players the chance to do so.

I'd go with this if Boruc and Morgan are fit, which I doubt, and have a right go at Villa from the off. If not I guess it's Gazza and JWP to step in.

Tom28 Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 I thought Osvaldo started today's game quite brightly but faded badly. I would be surprised if Boruc and Schneiderlin were a available for Wednesday so I would start the game like this: Gazzaniga; Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw; Wanyama Cork; JWP Davis JRod Lambert Subs: Cropper, Chambers, Hooiveld, Reed, Lallana, Osvaldo, Gallagher Only reason for Lallana is that he apparently didn't train much this week, is carrying a knock, and I thought that showed today. He's automatic first choice when fit but I don't think our way of playing can sustain players not at 100%. With him on the bench you have the impact sub.

Turkish Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 My first home game of the season. Will be tough, villa have only lost once on their travels this season, seem hard to beat so could easily see this one being a draw. Hope Boruc and Schniderlin are fit.

dan abnormal Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 Lovren will have Benteke in his pocket all afternoon. Don't fancy our chances if Boruc isn't fit. The only change I would make is Lambert back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 This one worries me a bit. Theyrr good away, we've lost two in a row. Big characters needed to bounce back. I really hope Boruc is back and Morgan is fit? (Not heard what is up with him?) For me: Boruc: Clyne Lovren Fonte Shaw: Wanyama Morgan/Cork: Jrod Lallana Jwp: Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 why is it a must win? Got some very difficult games coming up (Man City at home, Newcastle away, Spurs at home, Everton away) personally don't think we'll get many points out of that lot so it's imperative we get something against Villa on Wednesday night otherwise we could be looking at 7 losses in a row to round out the year.

S-Clarke Posted 1 December, 2013 Share Posted 1 December, 2013 I would say we all calm down, take a breath and accept that Gazzaniga is our goal keeper for the next 5-6 matches.
