Unbelievable Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yep, Saylor gets 70 minutes, then Yanga-Mbiwa on for his debut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I would understand Taylor getting the nod but I really hope Pardew grows a set of balls and gives Mbiwa his full debut, he has to sometime and with Taylor just returning from a long lay-off their isn't a better excuse for him to be dropped. If Williamson starts though I'll eat Pardew's face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sissoko will start. So will Steven Taylor. That's what I reckon will happen. Would honestly be baffling for him to start Taylor. Yanga-Mbiwa has exactly the right type of temperament to come in to things straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I wouldn't really understand Taylor getting the nod over Yanga-Mbiwa. If Taylor had been fully fit for the season, that's one thing, but he's not. Taylor's been out for so long, Yanga-Mbiwa's been playing. I know about the whole "bedding in" thing, and that's certainly a factor, but rushing an injury-prone centre half back into a starting role in a critical match seems riskier than playing a damn good, if unfamiliar with the PL, centre half who's completely healthy.

Dokko Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well its not going to get any easier for a debut with Chelsea & Spuds coming up next. Think it will be close, but i reckon Pardew will favour Mbiwa, though is trying to give Taylor hope of starting as well. Think Taylor will be watching from the bench.

Yanga-Mbiwa has exactly the right type of temperament to come in to things straight away. I think a factor will be how shit Villa are at defending corners and that Taylor is probably our biggest threat from them. Plus Taylor already has a decent understanding with Colo and they've always done very well as a partnership. Not saying I fully agree, just that I can see where he's coming from if that's how he plays it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Would new signings piss off/upset or put off Villa players and mainly the fans? Us parading all our new shiny players, them being told no one is coming in, probably a couple out. Mind games...start them all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I fully agree, just that I can see where he's coming from if that's how he plays it. Everything depends on whether Saylor is fit to start obviously. No point risking him of course, but it would be good for him to get back in amongst it, whilst taking a little bit of pressure of the Yanga-Mbiwa debut. I would be happy to see both get some playing time ahead of the tough fixtures coming up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Someone on Twitter mentioned Villa's susceptibility to set-pieces as a possible reason for Taylor starting. Not a completely invalid point, but I want to see MYM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The very last thing you should start a centre back for is their threat from set pieces, although that is something Pardew will probably do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 My secretary was very, very pleased to type up the list of players who are travelling. She said it was the first time she had not had to put any young reserve players in there, so it cheered her up, if nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Krul Boosh Mbiwa Colo Santon Anita Cabaye Sissoko Marveaux Cisse Gouffran Throw them all in and ask them to attack as much as possible. Think Villa look a bit brittle and fragile and scoring first down there might see some heads go down. If we score first then we need to keep going fr the second and ideally the third, none of this sitting back and giving the opposition the initiative. That hasn't worked for a while. Be positive and fucking get at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Up until Pardew came along Saylor was good for a few goals tbf. He has 10 top flight goals for us in the 9 years since he made his first PL start. 3 of those came under Pardew, btw. Next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
