Final Score Aston Villa 2 - 2 Brentford (Yarmo, Ajer)

[Untouchable]

 

[Untouchable]

 

[Lozza]

KLP no 10?

 

[aslan]

Keano playing in midfield

 

[Max collins]

Keano will be given the free role in possession to drift out to both wings - weird one sangare not starting again?

 

[filmyfan]

No Dams but MJ on bench

 

[Swan17]

Back 5 perhaps

 

[badgerbee]

No Rico, Collins or Damsgaard in the squad.

 

[aslan]

Bench is very strong

 

[hardybee]

Gutted no Damsgaard

 

[paulj]

No Rico in squad?

 

[Berkobee]

Schade vs Cash will be interesting.

They have some talented players at the top end of the pitch and Jackson is always a handful, regardless of how erratic his finishing is. But that is not a top half quality back 4. Get at them and we will score. COYB

 

[Banana]

Diouf gets his first start...

 

[badgerbee]

Schade vs Cash will be interesting.

Surely this is no time to be talking about his contract negotiations??!!

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Back 5 perhaps

No chance we’d go away with a 2 man midfield

 

[Banana]

Jensen on the bench.

 

[jbee]

Excited to see KLP in the 10 (or will it be Schade?), and a first proper look at Diouf.

 

[JosephBFC]

No Rico. Knock or tactical?

 

[Hippobee]

Not what I would have predicted. No Sangare in midfield but KLP instead (unless Diouf is going there).

 

[Kingston Bee]

Excited to see KLP in the 10, and a first proper look at Diouf.

Interesting but i can see the logic. Jensen obviously not quite fit enough to start.

 

[cliffbee]

Back 5 perhaps

Pretty obvious it's not a back 5. KLP will be in midfield. I've suggested before he could play there and I think it might turn out to be his best position.

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

Quite an intriguing selection. Let’s get it!

 

[gamidov]

Formation?

 

[damsgard.szn]

gowan boys

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Either KLP in the 10 or a 4-4-2, either way I prefer that to playing 3 defensive midfielders like we did at Bournemouth.

 

[Jezybee]

Formation?

Yes, there will be one. Maybe even two or three; in and out of possession and depending on whether we’re ahead, drawing or behind.

 

[Rob-BEE]

Well if the line up surprises us it will definitely surprise Villa!

Will be interesting to see how KLP plays in that role but maybe it's more of a like-for-like for Damsgaard than we think. Nice to see Jensen and VDB back on the bench! Plenty of quality options there if needed

 

[cliffbee]

Formation?

4231 with KLP in the Damsgaard role.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Interesting team - look forward to seeing how it actually lines up and whether it is 433 or 4321

 

[stevendamico]

Crosses a plenty with this lineup

 

[davewfilms]

Looks like 4-4-2 schade up top with Thiago
Happy days.

 

[Untouchable]

interesting to see how KLP plays in that role but maybe it's more of a like-for-like for Damsgaard than we think.

I think it will be this but KA does like to surprise us occasionally!

 

[Banana]

Looks like 4-4-2 schade up top with Thiago
Happy days.

You don't think the forward Anthony will be playing in a 3 up top?

 

[Max collins]

KLP is undropable at the moment so Keith’s finding any way to get him in the team

 

[davewfilms]

You don't think the forward Anthony will be playing in a 3 up top?

No wide left potter wide right

 

[Banana]

No wide left potter wide right

Schade in midfield then?

 

[TW1Bee]

Didn't Sangare arrive back late ftom AFCON qualifiers ?

 

[Kingston Bee]

KLP is undropable at the moment so Keith’s finding any way to get him in the team

Also utilising KLPs many talents hopefully. He is very talented imo.

 

[davewfilms]

Schade in midfield then?

Surely alongside Thiago up top?

 

[lanzabee]

Well if that has us guessing as to line up/formation Emery will certainly be scratching his head. Plenty of bench options too. Haven't won at VP in 90 yrs apparently. Time to put that right. COYB

 

[CattedownBee]

klp has popped up in the 10 position from left back plenty of times so I’m sure he’ll be comfortable there and has the legs to do the pressing dams and Jensen do

 

[Kingston Bee]

Didn't Sangare arrive back late ftom AFCON qualifiers ?

No, its tactical imo, great to have him coming on in the second half.

 

[Hippobee]

Well if that has us guessing as to line up/formation Emery will certainly be scratching his head. Plenty of bench options too. Haven't won at VP in 90 yrs apparently. Time to put that right. COYB

We won there last year with 10 men.

 

[lanzabee]

Surely alongside Thiago up top?

Think it will probably be the usual 4231

 

[badgerbee]

Bench is very strong

Lots of good "finishers" to bring on.....

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

Bench is very strong

Oak probably

 

[cliffbee]

Surely alongside Thiago up top?

Why would we suddenly start playing 442 for the first time this season when it's a formation we virtually never play?

 

[filmyfan]

Haven't won at VP in 90 yrs apparently.

Really?

 

[lanzabee]

We won there last year with 10 men.

Oooops
