Well done to young Rossider tonight in his prem debut. Nice to see him get a start. Wasn't sure if this game was the right one but he did well and deserves credit!

We could turn into Accrington Stanley for all I care as long as we're not losing!

Personally, I think Sturridge will play when fit with Benteke.

Well ever since Mascherano left, we had Sissoko before him then Hamann before him, all very good players in that position.

We can't bring Ben in and become Villa, we need to elevate him to a better style, not demote ourselves to that of the previous club.


i normally disagree with most things you say but you're right here. having said that, i think the plan might be to try win home games and just grind out some kind of results in that horrible run of away games we have.

as this all happens, we can ease sturridge back in. i think this will give us options. of course sturridge will get injured again but hopefully we can get a few months from him by which stage other players will have settled in a bit so we don't have to be the new villa & solely dependent on benteke.

I agree and then we can use one or the other or both. The cup games will help integrate other players too. Sturridge reads players well and as last night went on others were reading Benteke for flick ons etc.

Having two or more positionally aware strikers available again will be awesome.

I want to see us play the two of them in many of our games something similar to what the Balo and Sturridge partnership should have been about. Very different players and very difficult to work out ways to nullify.

Vish mentioned that we would possibly then be exposed in MF but we need to be able to change things from the predictable dire stuff we were for far too many of last season's games.

Up to now the results are what has counted and you could even say that will be true for at least a couple more whilst we are adjusting to all the changes. Just hope we are ready for United because from what I've see of them they are there for demolishing and we've a big score to settle.

We shouldn't have the same system for all games. We were playing Arsenal, one of the most attacking teams, away, so it is ok to have a defensive system. We needed a draw at least and the system was good for that. Good teams and managers know how to adapt to the opposition. You are thinking too much suddenly.
