Team for Villa


Recommended Posts

Just over a week away - now we have two more through the door, how are people expecting us to line up vs the Villa?

 

I'll go for:

 

           Westwood
 

Hunt Hutchinson Lees Pudil
 

     Lee Bannan Abdi 
 

                FF
 

      Hooper Fletcher

Lee and Bannan as defensive protectors won't work as I will limit their ability to get forward. You need a hutch type player in there unless Lee has his attacking responsibility taken away

Melo needs his contract terminating.

We haven't seen him play so that's a no mate. 

 

Sign a centre back on loan from the Prem and let hutch play in midfield. 

 

The big problem last year was our lack of spark without FF.  With Abdi and FF we have options and versatility.  We can also play the in form striker of the bunch. 

 

Hooper and FF were never the best partnership, FF and Joao, FF and Fletcher or Fletcher and Hooper all could work well. 

 

Fitting Abdi into the team essentially means FF has to play on the left (replacing Wallace) or up front. 

 

Real depth now.

Lets not worry about how were going to line up. We will see plenty of different starting lineups this season as we now have quite a few different options. If we dont get any bad injuries then we should push the automatic spots close. Could do with another cb, lb and maybe another winger and i cant see any real weakness in that squad

                         WESTWOOD

 

HUNT  HUTCHINSON    LEES     PUDIL

 

                 LEE        BANNAN

 

WALLACE     FORRESTERRI   MATIAS

 

                      FLETCHER

 

Could be 4-4-2 with FF moved up alongside Fletcher

 

 

Can see Abdi being eased in with only one pre season game left to get to know the team. Wallace was excellent last season, so dropping him straight away wouldn't be right imo. Especially with Fletcher up top.

For me, Matias has done enough pre-season to earn a start. But the issue comes that we've got so many good midfielders, who do you drop?

 

-------------------Westwood---------------------

 

Hunt--------Lees----------Hutch----------Pudil

 

------------Lee----------------Bannan-----------

 

-------Matias---------------------Forestieri-----

-----------------------Abdi-------------------------

 

---------------------Fletcher----------------------

 

 

The truth is, I don't know. Seems almost farcical to drop Hooper, we could easily see Matias and Abdi swap positions in my above formation and then see Hooper playing alongside Fletcher. Who knows. We have so much attacking talent, it's petrifying.

Who would imagine we would put out that team a few seasons ago?  If anyone suggested anything like that you would have been laughed at.
