  1. 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.
  2. Disagree. He was pushed into an offside position. Glad though
  3. 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.
  4. Good team that, well it must be cos it's same as mine God, I feel nervous ! Come on you Villa boys !
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Ah yes may have been that one, or Carlos challenge on Gil in the same incident. Neither were pens !
  13. 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
  14. Funny how people see things differently, I thought McGinn was one of our weaker players tonight (yet, created and scored one!!) Bailey MOTM, Tielemans a close second for me. Fantastic away performance though, I'd say maybe only Cash was below 7/10. (From the starting eleven). Bring on Luton..
  15. Been a good night... Blues losing/ JPB scoring ️ Leeds losing / Bamford missed pen / Big Wes huge goal contribution ️ Geordies losing / hitting woodwork twice late on / Isaak injured ️
  16. Martinez. Cash. Konsa. Pau. Digne. McGinn. Luiz. Kamara. Traore. Diaby. Watkins. But it will be Zaniolo over Bert for sure. Head says 2-1 them, says 0-3!
  17. I agree about Moreno, doesn't bode well for him starting with no minutes last night or previously - It was more wishful thinking that inclusion.
  18. Be interesting to see what sort of team he puts out against Zrinjski now (sandwiched between Brighton and wolves)! They've won today, so if (god forbid) we lost, we could be out after game 3 (arguably our toughest game on paper). Who will want Chambers starting in that? And full use of the squad? I'm sure it won't come to that, but we've put extra pressure on ourselves now (& more reason to go stronger!)
