Aston Villa vs Sheffield United match thread
Pressure game this. On the telly after everyone else has played and in all reality, we'll be out of the top six by kickoff. We haven't been good enough in these last two games but at the same time when you have to play the likes of Jedinak in the back four, and have no frikking strikers upfront, is it any wonder we've struggled?
Anyway, it looks like we might be playing Sheff Utd just at the right time as they've really gone downhill of late. Although I guess they might be saying exactly the same thing about us right now.
I suspect it will be a battle and we're gonna need our better players to stand up and be counted. Andre Green is back in training so might find his way to the bench, Davis is fit again after missing last week and Bruce has talked up Elphick so he might get a game too.
My team
................Johnstone...................
....Elmo...Elphick...Chester...Taylor....
............Onomah...Hourihane.............
...................Grealish...............
.........Snodgrass........Adomah....
.....................Davis...........................
I'd go for Onomah in the middle as I think he suits that role much better and would give us an extra threat from midfield unlike Whelan. I'd also keep Elmo back there because his crosses is something Davis can thrive off. Whilst Grealish looked good last week so I'd keep him in there. Sheff Utd will be without their first choice central midfield so I think this would be the ideal game to try Onomah and Hourihane tbh.
COME ON VILLA!!!

Re: Aston Villa vs Sheffield United match thread
Sheffield United are on a bad run, but the only problem with such runs is that they have to come to an end at some point, and sooner rather than later when it involves a decent side; that said there can't be any excuses, we have to win, have an horrible feeling it's going to be a draw which will do us no favours.
Would like to see Hepburn-Murphy in the squad, as we need some pace coming off the bench, Green too if he's fit.
Hopefully we win, and all our rivals lose for once.

Re: Aston Villa vs Sheffield United match thread
The latest injury news is Onomah and Lansbury doubtful, Green and Terry not ready yet and Davis is back fit. So from the team I picked above I'd just change Onomah for Whelan or get Jedinak in the midfield instead.

2-1 for me- we're not so good at clean sheets lately.

I hope that Onomah is injured that way Bruce may be forced to play Grealish in that number 10 position and that is what I would like to see happen as he is our only inventive player.
Hopefully a win but perhaps another draw!

I'm still not sure what Onomah actually contributes with.

Or at least the only inventive player potato head selects - the U23s is full of them.

Got to go for a win and 3 points.
Lets hope the crowd gets behind the lads today as i think that could make a difference.
2-1 nervy win for me.

Re: Aston Villa vs Sheffield United match thread
Our big players really need to start stepping up and contributing with goals and assists. There can be no excuses, despite injuries we will still have an eleven available more than good enough to do the business.
Need to start closing that gap on the top two, and dropping out of the top six at the end of play should be totally unacceptable.
Lets have a game where we dominate play and win comfortably for once.

Re: Aston Villa vs Sheffield United match thread
No place for O'Hare in the squad, you'd think with both Lansbury and Onomah out, he'd at least have a place on the bench. Hepburn-Murphy left out as well, I'd have more confidence in him coming on and scoring us a goal than Agbonlahor or Hogan at the moment.
Bruce was bigging himself up at the start of the season, for playing youngsters, but it's only really Davis who's had a run, and that was forced upon him.
And I've just noticed that once again we have two right backs on the bench, what a waste.

Bruce is a cun.t - just my opinion of course.

As soon as Sheffield United score we turn to rubbish, we're so mentally weak. Jedinak needs replacing at the back as well.

Re: Aston Villa vs Sheffield United match thread
I didn't catch the first goal, but I'm taking a hazard guess here... was it a cross, hoof, corner or long throw any other aspect of hoof ball tactics?
Reason I'm asking is that we simply can't create anything. We are completely unable to string two passes together. We can't move in space. Just complete shit.

Hourihane needs to stick for himself, and take some of the set pieces off Snodgrass.

Bruce is a defensive manager, and he cannot do that, our team turns to rubbish when the opposition starts to apply pressure.I hope the new head coach is taking all the mistakes our team is making . Need JT back to organise this so called defence.

Elphick, De Leat and even Hutton who are all on the bench would all do better jobs than Jedinak. I'd think about bringing on either Hogan or Agbonlahor on for Snodgrass who's been poor, and Davis needs more support.
Unfortunately I can see only one result now, and Bruce will come up with excuses, like injuries and players getting used to new training methods, he'll probably also mention Liverpool conceding three in quick succession the other day as well.
If the club don't respond after this, I really will lose faith.

Well fuck me is the score 2-2 or 0-0 with 45 minutes to go? Take a breather and fight like Lions second half; Good to see Terry in the stand's again hope he can have some influence at half time.

Why does Snodgrass insist on playing on the right? He runs round like a headless chicken and when he does beat his man has to check inside to his left peg

Re: Aston Villa vs Sheffield United match thread
I said time and time again that playing Jedinak in the defense in games against our promotion rivals would be a massive mistake. And there you have it, four goals conceded, only one point gained and nine points behind Cardiff. Well done Mr Bruce, you've fucked up once again.
And just watch that idiot go and start Jedi at the back at Brentford aswell!!!..LOL if he does then the boys might aswell stay at home for Christmas because we'll have absolutely no chance down there.
