I reckon exactly the same that started against Sunderland â but Cesar in goal and Taarabt on the benchâ¦â¦â¦ Thoughts please gents and Bethâ¦â¦â¦..
If Zamora is fit to play we will be 4-4-2 for at least part of the game, but might see a more defensive minded wide player - SWP - starting instead of Townsend or Hoilett. Or the same team as last week, but with the back six told to be less adventurous, especially the full backs. Fast wingers and a big'un and a little'un (or a medium'un in Remy) up front is Harold's way. My inside source at Villa is my son's headteacher, who used to be a scout for them and coached the under 14s. He 'discovered' Clark, their young CB......and reckons he's not good enough to play there in the Prem, and the inexperience of him and Baker in central defence is a constant disaster waiting to happen. He also teaches my lad politics, and they have a lesson on Monday morning.......we have to win for so many reasons......he tried the 'good luck for both of us' line on me at parent's evening last night, I'm afraid my response was 'if we have to tread on you to save ourselves from drowning, thats fine by me'. Probably done the lad no favours there, but at least the bloke laughed.... BZ and Remy could run riot, if Samba sits on Benteke.
Am I the only one on the planet who doesn't rate Benteke? Despite his obvious 'presence' he seems to pass up chance after chance.
1. 22 years 2. First year in EPL and with poor team 3. Scores one goal per 2 games This guy will be in Harry's words top top player
I'd like to think that Harry would play the same team as last week, but I have my doubts that he will.
I think we'll play 4-5-1 like we did against Saints. Not sure who HR will drop/select, but I think he'll want an extra body or two in central midfield for this game, initially at least.
