I assume you want Shelvey on the right? I know Kuyt has been shit, but I'd rather he started and (the massively overhyped) Shelvey could come on in the 2nd half. I dont want to be too harsh on Shelvey, as he is only 19 and could have a bright future. I just dont trust him in a first 11 as he has done absolutely nothing in a Liverpool shirt to justify it.
Villa's backline is painfully slow so with that in mind - a mobile, quick and nimble front line is vital hence get Suarez, Maxi and Bellamy all in the team.
Putting Carroll in might just play into Villa's hands, Dunne and Collins are beasts in the air but are easily exposed by good movement and pace.
I'd like to see this line up:
---------------------------- Reina --------------------------------
Johnson(well Kelly but it won't happen) --- Skrtel--- Agger --- Enrique
-------------- Henderson ---------- Adam -----------------
----- Downing------------------ Bellamy ------------------ Maxi
--------------------- Suarez -------------------------------
I'm no fan of Downing but the old playing against your old team scenario might just bring the best out in him. Furthermore, Dirk hasn't been in great form of late.

No, I'd want him in a three man midfield actually. Maxi, Bellamy and Suarez can play up top and go wide interchangeably. Not overly fussed about width as long as we have enough ability, pace and guile up front - and I think the Suarez, Maxi, Bellamy combination offers that the best currently at the club.
Shelvey got a lovely assist vs fulham last year I believe. Hence he's not done "nothing".

Yeah I agree with Iseered - let's start a player we know won't do the business instead of one who might but we're not certain of yet.

As you may or may not be aware, Kuyt has been "doing the business" for years. Shelvey should get a chance, and I want to believe, but we have seen very little from him so far. Despite the injury to Lucas there are still players ahead of him in the pecking order. Not that I am desperate to see Kuyt in the line up on current form. I guess it is Downing's turn to have a go.

Yeah Kuyt was once pretty handy, he's shown nothing to suggest he is this year.
Fowlerwas brilliant in the past, should we see if fancies playing too ?

There are definitely glimpses here and there, but nothing that justifies some of the hype on here. I do realize some of that is tongue in cheek though.
Edit: Rosco, see my edit. I am not keen on Kuyt either on current form.

Villa are mostly fucking garbage, so this seems like the ideal game for him to play.

I'd rather play Maxi over Downing but I'm guessing the latter will be eager to play against his former club and starting on the bench will not do wonders for his already rocky confidence.

Hope Carroll plays. Villa has been of the worst team I've seen this Season they are there for the taking. Reckon there's a godo chance will score a handful tomorrow. 3+ at least.
Give the lad some confidence.

Downing perhaps instead of Bellers due to the opposition. Would be time for him to hit it via the bar into the net.

Carroll is a fucking donkey mate. If we want to win games, he needs to stay on the bench. If Suarez gets banned I'd entertain the idea of him starting a game up front on his own as the focal point of the attack. He might actually start scoring then.

The worst thing is, we pick up exactly the same amount of points with him in the side.

Villa have scored 18 goals all season. Woeful.
To put that into comparison, Citeh have scored 49, Chelsea 44, even fucking Blackburn have banged in 23.
They're dreadful in attack, and play a flat, defensive-minded midfield who's sole job is to give the ball to Agbonlahor and N'Zogbia and hope they carry the ball forward with pace. Stop those two - which to be real isn't difficult cos they're fairly limited footballers - and all you have to do is score one goal to win the game.
Which we'll do. 1-0. Watch me be right.

I've got a bad feeling about this one. Which usually precedes us giving someone a spanking.

Ross is bang on in this thread. We have a midfielder in fine scoring form , irrespective of league, and we're talking about playing a striker at right wing who has looked as threatening as a paper bag this season .
4 3 3 with adam hendo and jonjo, maxi suarez and bellamy up top.
Mobility and vision oozes out of that team
