Awkward game to predict. Two weeks ago, Villa were unbeaten all season. O.k., they lost at Eastlands, but anyone can do that these days. But then they fluffed it against West Brom as well! So either they'll regain their form and be a tall order, or they won't and we'll win (assuming Bruce doesn't mess it about, of course). Richardson will do better for as long as Sessegnon is on the left. Hoping he could overlap Larsson with Seb cutting inside was asking a lot of anyone and Ricco clearly wasn't up to it. I think that was faulty tactics rather than any deficiency on Richardson's part though. Richardson and Sess on the left for me.
They're a tough nut to crack. Showed it against us. Let's be honest they've only been beaten by a better side once this year, Man City. They lost to West Brom because of a ridiculous referee/linesman that made them play half the game with 10 men.
We need to crank up the noise and get under Bents skin. We know his game playing off the shoulder of the last man so we should know how to stop him. The key will be in midfield cut out the supply to him. He can not creat goals he finishes off good moves. With that in mind do you play Cats to break up play or keep the same as last week. One final plea lets get down there and get over 40K in the ground. My son is up from Uni this weekend so that is one more to the attendance. Lets all bring a friend to the game.
I would love to see those two in celebrity death match. Ooooohhh, poor Dazza. His mam has more balls than him.
All this focus on Bent is tempting me to have a little tenner on Agbonlahor getting a couple. Dunno yet - but it is tempting. Hearts before heads wins nothing. It'll be just what Villa's hoping for.
