Aston Villa (H) Buildup - Sat 5.30pm KO

[RichC]

I guess it's this then.

Attacking team to say the least!

............Mignolet.............

Johnson...Skrtel..Toure....Cissokho

.........Henderson.....Gerrard................

...Sterling.................Coutinho..........

........Suarez.....Sturridge...........

[JohnDoe]

It's a pretty mental team. Two midfielders and four very offensive players

We could be absolutely wide open

Sort of like what other top sides are putting on the pitch, especially at home against a lesser side.

I like the team, and I like the fact Rodgers no longer sees Lucas as an indispensable asset. He isn't.

[Shaggy]

Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand, El Ahmadi, Westwood, Delph, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Benteke

[RichC]

Bertrand straight into the side then, see how he gels with the other defenders there in terms of playing offside etc.... badly I hope

[Gibbo]

Agbonlahor and Benteke can cause problems, especially since Skrtel and Kolo aren't the most mobile.

And Bacuna has a good freekick on him.

Besides that we should have more than enough.

[Shaggy]

I think it'll be only the 5th game Suarez, Sturridge and Coutinho have started together.

I don't think those three plus Sterling have ever started together?

And I feel certain Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho, Sterling and Gerrard have never started together.

[JohnDoe]

Agbonlahor and Benteke can cause problems, especially since Skrtel and Kolo aren't the most mobile.

And Bacuna has a good freekick on him.

Besides that we should have more than enough.

Yes, I'm only concerned with how Toure and Skrtel deal with their front line.

Hopefully we'll be too much for them on the other end.

[RichC]

Amazing if true, those 5 should be the crux of the side.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Clark, Bertrand, El Ahmadi, Westwood, Delph, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Benteke

That's a pretty mobile trio.


Actually that Villa team has some pretty decent pace in it from defence to attack.

Bacuna, Bertrand, Delph, Benteke, Agbonlahor, and Weimann all have enough pace to offer a threat.

i do quite like this.
sturridge and suarez wont just sit up front like a traditional front pair waiting for the ball. i reckon they will BOTH come deep, like two 10's, dragging their defence all over the shop. they like to run at people.

two tens = playing a twenty

It may be boring as ****, but something positive for a change I suppose is progress.

[Chazza]

No Sakho???

Think we will concede but we should score a good few.

Nice to see Petrov looking much better.

[Gibbo]

Great to see Petrov looking better. He looks well.

[RichC]

Not great that Sakho didn't make it today but hopefully we'll have too much going forwards for them.

about Petrov.

[RedReet]

Would like to see Aspas on for Sturridge about 60th minute when we're 4 up, so he can get himself a goal or 2.
