1-0 toon!!!
-
I know what you mean, it's a difficult one knowing which way to approach it, such a shame we've had all these injuries and the suspensions haven't helped either. If we really wanted to "throw it" and rest players.. Olsen KKH Chambers Lenglet Moreno Zaniolo Tim Tielemans Rogers Diaby Duran Emi, Cash, Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne, Bailey, Luiz, McGinn all rested! But that side would probably lose by 5!

I think we will require another Emi masterclass to get anything from this tbh, even if they rest a few they will still field a really strong side and our defence a lot of problems. I wonder if we will go stronger than we might have now, due do the disappointing coefficient results last night?! Issue is we are so stretched with the squad that we can't make wholesale changes even if we wanted to. Probably just about managing players best we can. Depending on fitness levels, I'd go; Martinez Cash Konsa Lenglet Moreno McGinn Tim Tielemans Rogers Diaby Watkins Start strong and see how it's going first 45, if we're getting blown away, start replacing a few with Lille on the horizon.

Will need a really strong away performance to get through this one, but I'm backing us to complete the job. Martinez MOTM.

That's two great chances to make it two, greedy by Bailey, then Watkins.

With our superior goal difference it's effectively 6 points. How you get that we are destined to finish 6th from that I really don't know. But if they do win tonight, it makes things less comfortable and to be honest I've seen a few people on here write them off too early!

I doubt that too. We have a serial winner managing us whose trying to manage the players best he can competing on two fronts, with numerous injuries and a suspension to boot. I bet he's done nothing half arsed in his life! Back on topic, I think we need 71 points. Or 70 and a better GD than Spurs. But 5th will be enough!

Half-arsed team? Weakened, maybe. But there was definitely no lack of effort from the team tonight from what I saw.

4-1 probably a fair reflection on how the game went, but doesn't tell the whole story, for periods in the first half we looked pretty dangerous on the break, Zaniolo, Rogers, Diaby and Duran and the goal was really well executed. Unfortunately, they are relentless and we were wilting a little just before HT, Luiz needs to keep a calm head and Zaniolo doesn't cover himself in glory in the wall and such a poor goal to concede right on HT. Second half (despite what McCoist said) we were right in the game. Luiz and Lenglet? Take their chances and it was game on. Eventually, they wore us down and the third killed us, which was a shame has the subs may have given us a bit extra. I don't think we should be too disheartened with the result. We just need to get behind the lads on Saturday, it won't be easy, but I think the team selection tonight has given us a better chance !

All ifs and buts, but if Luiz strikes that low into bottom corner, which he's more than capable of, we were right in this. Please keep it to 4, I think we deserve that for how we've played overall.

I can't believe there are still Villa fans that would welcome Grealish back. He's a word removed. End of.

Well when we beat them at VP it was a back 5 of Emi Konsa Carlos Pau Digne So absolutely no need to change that really, given Diego and Lucas both had very decent performances last time out and Moreno had a bit of a stinker. Bringing Lenglet in and going to a back 5 would give out the wrong message to the players and give all impetus to the cheats so I can't see that happening, thankfully. We have a decent base there, the issue is further forward, and how we can nullify City whilst also causing them a few issues at the same time. At VP we had Kamara and McGinn whilst they had no Rodri and De Bruyne so it will be a whole new ball game in this one. I can see why Tim would be an option centrally as we will probably be out of possession for large spells but Tielemans is playing well and I can't see anything other than him and Luiz centrally. Bailey on the right. Duran up top as we need a focal point, I think then it's 2 from 3 - Diaby/Zaniolo/Rogers. On paper you would choose Diaby, but the game may be more suited to Rogers ball carrying / hustling style?! Also Zaniolo brings that kind of play, but Diaby offers real pace on the counter, so.. who knows. Trust in Emery whatever team he picks. Hopefully don't concede early, and play ourselves into it, no silly mistakes. If they beat us because they are better I can live with that, but I'm hopeful we can give them a real good game. UTV

Seen a lot of comments from Wolves fans re their missing players but seems like most are completely missing the fact we were without real key players in McGinn, Kamara, Ramsey and Watkins (for 45) add in Buendia and Mings and that's probably 6 of our best eleven. Ran out pretty comfortable winners, the subs were key to that. Zaniolo in particular.

Shows how fans see things differently, I thought he showed real signs of promise tonight. Strong running, skilful play, little touches, sure, not everything came off, but there is a player in there for sure.

Thought first 15 looked comfortable, without creating a great deal, but better in possession. Then we shoot ourselves in the foot, gift them a goal and it's given them the ascendancy, and confidence to take over. We're still in this, but as ever the term "next goal is crucial" ever been more apt. Come on Villa, a win here would be absolutely MASSIVE!

You may be right, but I'm usually more confident at home. Not many easy games in the league.

We have home games against Wolves, Brentford, Bournemouth and Chelsea - I would like and hope for 3 points in each of those games. I don't think a point is the worst result today after Spurs result yesterday and I just think we will miss the likes of McGinn and Kamara. Hope I'm wrong.
