    Oh I agree, we should take it seriously, but I'm like you in that not feeling too confident. But you never know...

    If it was a league game I'd probably agree, but not sure we really need an extra game into what will be a busy period once European competition starts again. I think both sides will look to win it tonight, which should make it a decent game. As others have said, no Torres, is the one that worries me most. I think we might lose 2-1, but come back with two back to back victories in the league. Be nice for wins in all 3 of course

    Sounds like McNeil on the bench for them. Doucoure starts too. Tough game but 1-2 Villa Watkins winner

    Yes I agree on the comments above about Ramsey, not firing on all cylinders but I thought there was little signs today he's getting up to speed. Thought the backing were our better players, alongside Kamara. Wasn't a great game, lacked fluidity, but never felt we were going to lose that, and it should have been wrapped up way before it was. That being down to their keeper, the post and the referee giving us nothing. I expected us to field a much weakened team but pleased we went with what we did and nice to be into the 4th round. Hopefully a favourable draw and a good cup run on the cards

    This is for me the correct answer. The Grealish that played for us would undoubtedly be brilliant in our team now and would be the stand-out player. Not this current Grealish that recycles the ball well and lays it sideways a lot. I know he does more than this but he's a shadow of the player that he was with us and he's not been any different with England either.

    There's my 10! Ones in bold I'm more confident of.

    Marschall / Olsen Cash Chambers Lenglet Moreno Kamara Tim Dendoncker Zaniolo Ramsey Duran 0-2 Ramsey, Duran.

    Martinez. Cash. Konsa. Pau. (If fit) Digne. Bailey. McGinn. Luiz. Ramsey. Diaby. Watkins. Need to see a massive reaction from the United game. Ramsey/Diaby in particular need to start hitting some form. Luiz can't be any worse than the other night. I'd take nervy 2-1. UTV.
  9. WakefieldVillan
    Disagree. He was pushed into an offside position. Glad though
  10. WakefieldVillan
    McGinn yes, Diaby no
  11. WakefieldVillan
    This ref is a word removed
  12. WakefieldVillan
    Correct

    First one should have been

    I agree, with Pau and Kamara out, I think Digne gives us a more solid base to start, but I can see Moreno getting 30 minutes or so, hopefully that's just to freshen things up and not cos we're chasing a goal.
  15. WakefieldVillan
    Good team that, well it must be cos it's same as mine God, I feel nervous ! Come on you Villa boys !

    Martinez Konsa. Carlos. Lenglet. Digne. Bailey. McGinn. Luiz. Ramsey. Diaby. Watkins. Is the way I'd go IF Pau and Youri are out. Still enough quality to get the job done, as long as the attitude and application is 100%. Lenglet and Carlos have had a bit of experience playing together in Europe so that will help. Diaby needs to get back on track, hopefully this is the match he does it. Zaniolo and Duran options off the bench.

    I picked the same team as Emery last time out (wooh), but on reflection, it wasn't the side that won us the game, so maybe we both got it wrong I think I'd go (fitness issues aside); Martinez Konsa. Carlos. Pau. Digne. Bailey. McGinn. Luiz. Ramsey. Tielemans. Watkins. I think it's pretty safe to say these will sit in, hope to be hard to break down & leave little space in behind, so (if fit) I'd put Tielemans in there for his guile as opposed to Diaby's pace (& current lack of form). Toss of a coin at left back really, either way I think both will get minutes. Hate these games where we are absolutely nailed on favourites, because the pessimist in me is expected to be let down, but this is a different Villa. Emery's Villa. At home. The 12th man. Under the lights. 3-1 Ramsey, Watkins, Zaniolo. Top of the league
  18. WakefieldVillan
    If Bailey and Tielemans are both out, I'd go; Martinez Konsa. Carlos. Pau. Cash. Moreno. Kamara. McGinn. Diaby. Watkins. Ramsey. Pretty flexible this, but more likely Cash RM ahead of Konsa as a 442. A fair bit of running power up top. Confident McGinn can step in centrally and drive us on. I got 1-1 right last night so I'll stick with a 1-3 Villa win.
  19. WakefieldVillan
    I'm all for making changes in this one, and I still think we can get the point required (minimum) Olsen Cash Chambers Lenglet Digne/Moreno (45 each) Diaby Dendoncker Luiz Ramsey Zaniolo Duran Think Chambers is the biggest concern there, but hopefully he would perform better than he did at RB last time out. Can't be any worse, can he... Olsen improved last time out, so why not! Minutes for Moreno in view to Sunday. To be able to rest Martinez, Konsa, Carlos, Torres, McGinn, Kamara, Tielemans, Bailey, Watkins for Brentford would be massive IMO. 1-1 tonight. 1-3 win on Sunday. Then top of league on 22nd

    SkyBet have the following odds Us - 100/30 Draw - 3/1 Them - 8/11 So they are still favourites, but nothing like the usual margins. Current form, Rhodri out and our home form, the main factors you'd suspect. They still have the quality to hit us for 4 or 5 on their day but I hope we do ourselves justice and cut out the unforced errors. Everyone needs to be at least 7/10. I suspect plenty of goals and I think we will need at least 3 to win it.

    The fact that he's even in discussions of being better than Yorke / Benteke is enough for me. All great players with different attributes. The header was sublime.
  22. WakefieldVillan
    Better still it won me £130
  23. WakefieldVillan
    I think definite starters against Bournemouth (injuries permitting) are Martinez, Konsa, Pau, Digne, McGinn, Luiz, Tielemans and Watkins, so that's 8 players I'd rest for this one (well 7 because we have to start with Emi). So on that basis, giving us enough to win (hopefully) and managing the squad, I think something like; Martinez Cash Carlos Lenglet Moreno Bailey Kamara Iroegbunam Ramsey Diaby Duran Hopefully get a good hour from Moreno and Ramsey and Diaby can play is way into a bit of form.
  24. WakefieldVillan
    Ah yes may have been that one, or Carlos challenge on Gil in the same incident. Neither were pens !
  25. WakefieldVillan
    The only one I can think your mate was referring to, would be Digne's tackle on Kulusevski in the second half. VAR checked it about 5 times, probably hoping something in it (least that's how it feels sometimes), but he clearly won the ball. Voted Martinez MOTM, mainly for the double save, but Kamara was class (apart from one blip) and Tielemans changed the game. Rode our luck, but also had a goal ruled out, Torres header, Bailey hit the post, Digne's free kick, Watkins goal-line header... a few chances of our own there.. League table looks
