Aston Villa: Pack The Midfield, Target Cissokho And Look To Play Lobbed Through-Balls vs Liverpool

This season has seen Aston Villa establish themselves as an away side, and what I mean by that is they are a squad suited to playing teams away from home.

Why Offloading £18m Flop Would Be Good For Manchester United

Much has been said about Ashley Young over the last year or so. After his exciting performances for Aston Villa and a strong opening season for Manchester United after his move in 2011 the winger has failed to impress us.

Manchester United Eyeing Up £25m Striker, But Where Would He Fit In Amongst Current Crop?

For me, David Moyes has holes in his squad, most noticeably in the middle. His static midfield has been found out at times already this season and is in need of strengthening in the new year. The defence could also do with a bit of a reshuffle, in my eyes, but the last position they need any more players in is up top.
