    I personally would have preferred them* playing 60 minutes and (possibly) winning the game. Not sure an extra 30 minutes is going to make a massive difference. It's as much the travelling midweek as anything else. Plus winning breeds confidence. *them - being the 'better' players.

    Should've been, but wasn't. The problem was playing too many of those players. If you put just Chambers into our best eleven, you can probably just about get away with it. When you put Lenglet (not played a game for us) and Tielemans (rusty) also in, it starts to show. Especially when we're trying to play out from the back. You then have Zaniolo (who did ok btw) as a new player settling in, and Bailey who literally never plays well away from VP it just adds to the problem. Start strong and change after 45/60 minutes, we've now lost the game and not really saved anything from it cos we've still used our so called better players for 30 mins anyway ?! I'd rather of won our first 3 grouo games then completely rested the players!

    Need to see a massive improvement now after tonight's performance. Kamara and McGinn lucky to start. Martinez Cash. Konsa. Pau. Moreno. McGinn. Luiz. Kamara. Ramsey. Diaby. Watkins. Olsen, Digne, Lenglet, Tielemans, Dendoncker, Bailey, Duran, Zaniolo, anyone but Chambers. I want to see DESIRE, FIGHT, PASSION.

    We didn't, which is probably more concerning than the original team selection. Usually Emery sees things and will fix it. We looked like we had no game plan at all after the subs. That said, even then, we had 3 very good chances of getting a draw or even a win. (Ramsey, Diaby & Tielemans).

    Ratings: Martinez 4 - Feel disappointed he let in the third. Chambers 0 - Slow, sluggish, crap on the ball, partly to blame for all 3. Digne 1 - Partly at fault for all 3 goals l, scored albeit a deflection, no heart. Konsa 5 - Not surprisingly looked uncomfortable next to Calum. Lenglet 5 - Nothing overly bad, but didn't inspire confidence. Tielemans 3 - Another one sluggish, missed the sitter at the end, summed his game. Kamara 3 - Like Youri, didn't influence the game at all, didn't want to do the dirty side. Midfield gaps all over. McGinn 3 - when he doesn't play well. We don't, it seems. Looked lethargic. No passion at all. Bailey 3 - probably should've been a red for his opponent, couple of dribbles, goes missing. Zaniolo 6.5 - decent first half, good shot, decent work rate. Tired quickly. Duran 7 - took his goal well, unlucky with another chance, had a bit of presence. Emery - 0 - ultimately blame lies with him, poor starting line up, odd subs - players coming off, not the ones going on. Crap.

    Dire. Got exactly what we deserved. Players and manager equally as poor. Need a BIG performance on Sunday now and 3 points. Hopefully a wake up call we need.
  8. WakefieldVillan
    I think we've looked even worse (attacking) since the subs. They didn't look right at the time.
  9. WakefieldVillan
    I love Unai, like we all do. But he's got it wrong tonight. Players equally to blame. Fair play Warsaw, wanting it A LOT more. I would take a point now
  10. WakefieldVillan
    They are getting away without a lot of fouls with no punishment.
  11. WakefieldVillan
    Think we're going to try win this 8-9
  12. WakefieldVillan
    Wank. Make the subs.
  13. WakefieldVillan
    True. He probably was hoping that the starting eleven would also be strong enough to save bringing on the "better" players.
  14. WakefieldVillan
    Could even go 3 at back? Konsa Kamara Lenglet Cash Luiz. McGinn. Moreno. Diaby. Duran. Zaniolo.
  15. WakefieldVillan
    In my view we should have started stronger (at the back). Got a lead and switched our "better" players off at 60. I think we might have to do it the other way round to win here.
  16. WakefieldVillan
    Get to HT level. Cash for Chambers. Pau for Lenglet. Luiz for Tielemans. Then look at Diaby/Moreno/Watkins at 60. We should, should have enough.
  17. WakefieldVillan
    Looks a great goal at first viewing. Let's be honest, he got very lucky.
  18. WakefieldVillan
    That should be red
  19. WakefieldVillan
    Totally agree. If Moreno is fit enough then give him the first 60+ Tielemans needs the minutes, and will have a point to prove. Duran will be chomping at the bit, and hopefully this inspires Ollie. I think it will be the League Cup when we utilise the squad more.
  20. WakefieldVillan
    Very difficult line up to predict with Chelsea a few days later and ultimately 4 games in 10 days. I think start strong however and hopefully if we are comfortable, make the changes HT or aroud the hour mark. Martinez Cash Konsa Pau Digne McGinn Tielemans Luiz Zaniolo Diaby Watkins Subs: Moreno for Digne Bailey for Diaby Kamara for Luiz Duran for Watkins Dendoncker for McGinn Going for 1-3 Villa, then re-assess everyone's fitness for Chelsea.
  21. WakefieldVillan
    Hopefully Guehi doesn't make it for them, it would help our cause - Having said that, we have a good record against this lot at VP, so hopefully that continues. I don't think they will come out all guns blazing, which probably suits us. Keep Eze quiet (no mean feat) then I think we might have too much for them. 2-1 Watkins, Diaby
  22. WakefieldVillan
    Martinez Cash...... Konsa...... Torres....... Digne JPG.... Kamara.... Luiz..... McGinn Diaby...... Watkins Most of that lot owe us, I think (hope) they will up for it and we will get a win (and a good performance). I don't see wholesale changes, Mings injury a sickener, but chance for Pau to show his class. Coutinho / Tielemans on the hour if we need a spark from elsewhere. 3-1 Villa!.
  23. WakefieldVillan
    I think we have the better "footballers" but they have the physicality (has that been mentioned yet?! ) A combined team would be hard to do, but here's mine. Martinez. Trippier. Schar. Botman. Moreno. Guimaraes. Kamara. Joelinton. McGinn. Watkins. Wilson. Not much between many of the players though! I'd take a point. UTV
  24. WakefieldVillan
    Bailey was dire the other night and for a while now, he gives away possession way too much. I'd much rather a confident Traore start over Leon. But hopefully Kamara back fit is the best option. I think we're OK with Ashley Young starting, he did well the other night despite their (really good) goal. On paper, this is easier than Leicester away. Doesn't mean it's a gimme but one we should be winning. 3-0.
  25. WakefieldVillan
    Felt confident all week. Saw our team, thought, I'd take a point. Saw theirs, thought, nah, we can take 3. I'm thinking a low scoring game now (completely changing my tune ) 1-0 or 0-1
