Si Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Think after QPR game we're due a performance and this could be it. Lessons learned from tonight hopefully corrected, Santon starting and Shola given a packed lunch and the day off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you consider rushing to be... either a wise, let's not chuck him in straight away after a handful of days at the club in a Monday night live game against a pumped up opposition. That wouldn't be rushing. Or after a full week's training and preparation for the next game. That wouldn't wise considering our other option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Very surprised how many people are starting Obertan after his gutless showing tonight. Literally watched players walk past him with the ball on at least 5 occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be wise to play our best players at any given time. It's as simple as that. Shola and Raylor being absolute shit today was so predictable. And everyone, fucking everyone can see that we have better players just sitting there on the bench. Santon is a professional. He just played a full U-21 game, and did well. So we know he is match fit. I see your point with not training as much as he would've liked by now with the team, but if you have quality players in your side, play them. Especially when the ones playing is contributing nothing. And I mean nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It'll be a really tough match cos i think once Villa settle, they'll have a good year. They've looked good in fits and spurts, and with the potential they've got in N'Zogbia and Agbonlahor (whom i still rate hugely), they'll always create chances. Those two off Bent look a bit scary tbh, cos there's a shitload of goals in that triumvirate. Them against our tri-force/breeze-block of Taylor, Colo and Krul will be an intriguing encounter. If the defense is up to it, there's every chance of getting a result. From what i can gather, tonight was the worst performance of the season. However, what's true is that we're cementing this 'absolute-bastards-to-beat' attribute, and whilst Villa have some good players, there's nothing there that leaves me feeling certain that our unbeaten streak will come to an end. Keep up the defensive rigidity... kick up the arse in training... bit more fluidity from an attacking perspective - and i'm very confident of getting a point at the very least. I'm happy for us to rely on our stalwarts to contain the various threats they have, and actually play our game. They're a good side but definitely beatable. Play for a draw, as we (allegedly) did tonight, they'll have more quality to pick us off, unlike QPR. -------------------------------- Krul -------------------------------- Simpson --------- Taylor ---------- Coloccini --------- Santon Obertan -------- Cabaye --------- Tiote --------------- Jonas ------------------------- Ba ---------- Best ------------------------ We can still go 4-4-2... just abandon the Jurassic footballing philosophy. No more hoofball. Defenders on their game, play properly. What's certain is that this game will give us a better bearing on whether or not we've progressed as a side. Three clean sheets and 8 points from 12 suggest so... the performances, granted, do not. Think it'll be a score-draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's been stuck training with a youth team at Inter before joining us. I don't believe the game has moved on that much in terms of fitness, tactics, whatever reason you want to give, that a newly signed player can't start or even come off the bench nearly a week after signing for us.

Minhosa Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I think Cabaye and Tiote need more help and better defined roles so, on that basis, I'd go something like: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Santon Cabaye Tiote Guthrie (or Gosling if fit) Marveaux Jonas Best (or Ba if Best unfit) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
