Owen, we need to talk.

I know you're reluctant to drop St. Kevin, Elmo or Wonderkid. They're all good strikers, each one brings something different, I get it. It's still moronic. You're not going to branch out into a 433, fine. But fer feck* sake don't play a striker at right midfield in a 442. It just doesn't work. You lose all the things Elmo brings as a hardworking CF, you inhibit Steinsson's overlapping game and open up space on the opposition left flank and above all, it deprives the team of CYL's ingenuity and creative flair - stuff Elmo just isn't going to bring.

It's a hard task getting it right but this is not the solution.

100% agree!

[Choppers]

Not read the entire thread, but I just wanna say it's good to see Steinsson back.

Also, I'm concerned at a striker on the wing in this match more than ever, Villa are seriously fast down the wings, both full back and winger need to be able to defend when required.

I really hope this is more than just a case of Owen trying to convince Elmo to stay. I want to see Lee playing, he's our best winger and should be playing!

Villa's backline is really inexperienced, would have thought an out-and-out winger would be better than a striker playing right midfield.

BWFC: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Wheater, Cahill, Robinson, Elmander, Holden, Muamba, Petrov, K Davies, Sturridge

BWFC substitutes: Bogdan, Alonso, Taylor, M Davies, Klasnic, Rodrigo, Chung-Yong

Aston Villa: Friedel, L Young, Downing, A Young, Albrighton, Delph, Reo-Coker, Clark, Baker, Walker, Bent

Aston Villa substitutes: Marshall, Pires, Agbonlahor, Bradley, Heskey, Petrov, Herd

Elmander on the right again?

I'm hoping to see an appearance from Klasnic today, hopefully getting a goal too!

[HMX]

Bollocks. Bent 0-1.

[jmjhb]

Cahill at fault there.

[cophilie]

Pitiful defending...

[spikeykev]

Bent, what a suprise

[Choppers]

Shock Horror, Bent scores against Bolton.

I may be forgetting one, but when did we last beat Villa?

[chaddy_bwfc]

Cahill at fault there.

what is it about Cahill in this fixture? It's like he's trying too hard to prove they were wrong to sell him

[plymouth wanderer]

fecking muamba got a touch of a rapist

[HMX]

I think everyone's first touch is pretty off at the moment.

[Choppers]

They've got two pacey players running at Robinson, with Petrov "helping" him out?

Doesn't take a genius to work out the problem there.

[newboy]

destroying us here

[jmjhb]

We're getting absolutely destroyed on the flanks.

[newboy]
