Lambs to the slaughter

[TrianonDave]

Don't worry Villa Mad Family, the worry and pain will soon be over but first we have to show willing in front of a Saturday night crowd which will be well topped up with Larger! Can we have an option to throw the towel in, will our two new signings play, will Dougie be in the right frame of mind and will have to look Stevie in the eye to declare he is ready. Will this be SG last game, will Haaland be the first ever double double hatrick maker, will City fans run on the pitch, will it go off down Witton Station and just what team will Gerrard be putting out? We have to stop the rot and leaking goals for fun, stop being bullied on the pitch, time for all 11 players to wake up and smell the coffee, I'm hoping Pep is perplexed with this one, he won't have a clue what to expect just like us, will he take his eye off the ball, show no respect, will the real Coutinho show up. I would start with a back 5 stiffen up the midfield and play Watkins up on his own. A 0-0 would be brilliant, first team to tame the beast, first clean sheet this, just could be one of those nights!! Think I need a strong coffee.

[mondaze]

haarland would be our top goal scorer for the season already... can we get him on oan?

[TrianonDave]

If he played for us, he would be crap....

I'd put Kamara at CB in a back 3 to go up against Haaland, and give Archer a go against them - know it won't happen but:

Emi
Cash/Bednarek/Kamara/Mings/Digne
Nakamba/Luiz
Bailey/Archer/Watkins

[TrianonDave]

I'm not bothering to put a team out as Gerrard will do the opposite, I too, want a back 5 but you know he won't, you either go for it as this is a game that's called A 'free shot' or you put up a fight and try and stifle the game keeping the score down. Expect Coutinho back, dropped will be Bailey and Buendia. Will he put in the new guys, doubt it.

[oldskoolvillan]

For what its worth,
Emi 1
cash chambers mings digne
kamara dendoncker
Emi 2 luis coutinho
watkins
with the following instructions
Back 4, thats what you are, defend and get the ball to people who know what to do with it
holding mids, defend, break up play, get ball to people who know whtat to do with it
attacking mids, clue in name press till you cant breath anymore, do intelegent stuff when given ball, you will be subbed early second half so dont hold back
striker, you see that netty thing at the front......, first time you miss it you will be replaced by archer!
Piece of **** this management lark

[TrianonDave]

Lol of course we all all experts but it's time for the Manager to show his worth, there's no good look beyond this fixture thinking we have easier games, we already did that and lost!

For the 5th successive game we don’t look a threat going forward and v Gooners only scored because Luiz is able to score direct from corner.

I don’t actually remember us creating any clear cut chances. Watkins looked totally isolated and Martinez had an absolute shocker.

We’re in a lot of trouble at the moment and frankly I don’t know what the answer is.

We have a decent side on paper, but unfortunately games are played on grass

We've players who don’t know what they’re supposed to be doing.

There was talk from the players before the season started about Europe,only way that will happen is if they visit Euro Disney

5 games in can anyone name 3 teams worse than us??

[Exiledvillan]

3 at back, flood midfield, with Kamara and the Donk holding, and put a firecracker up Bailey's ar5e.

[Exiledvillan]

C'mon, me Villa boys!!!
