villalad21 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Bruce getting one over us would finalize the embarrassment of a season. We just have to try something new. ........................Nyland.....................

roonst83 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Game is just massive. Which is worrying. Think it’s time for two up top. I’d go for 3-5-2 (Elmo and Targett as wing backs) and throw Sammy and Kienan up top. Samatta is more mobile than Kienan so can hopefully cause problems. I’d have a middle of Luiz (holding) and McGinn and Jack taking it in turns to roam. Think we’ll need to be brave and take risks to get a win up there. There’s no crowd so will be interesting to see how we take to being away for the first time since the restart. Certainly can’t do any harm to not have 50k geordies, who now seem to despise us, screaming and booing us. This feels like a must win for me. Not enough games left and with the likes of Wolves, United and Liverpool in the horizon we need something special. It’s time to stand up and be counted and to try start proving all the doubters wrong, because even our own fans have largely written us off now. Understandably but still. This alone should be motivation enough for our team but we seek to have a team full of individuals and I don’t see the fight and desire or togetherness that I did last season. One win could change that. Edited June 21, 2020 by roonst83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Pretty much must win to be in with a chance of staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Davis and Samatta. Nothing to lose. Go for broke. If it was Lambert hed put all the strikers on. 5-0-5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) My side for this match would be: Nyland Konsa Hause Mings Targett McGinn Luiz Nakamba El Ghazi Davis Grealish Subs: Reina, Taylor, Elmohamady, Trezeguet, Baston, Samatta, Jota, Vassilev Edited June 22, 2020 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Nyland Elmo Konsa Mings Targett Douglas McGinn Davis Grealish El Ghazi Samata Plan B: Jota for AEG on 60. 2 up top. Edited June 22, 2020 by AV82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have Nakamba and Luiz as CDM. Jota in the 10 role with Jack and El Ghazi on the wing. I think McGinn looks way off the pace and shouldn't be starting.

villa89 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Basically given our fixtures this is a must win. Hard to see how that could happen given the players we have and our performances this season. We're the second worst team in the league.

Sulberto21 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 3-5-2 for me too. That gives us flexibility to make changes to both formation and personnel. Have Luiz and Nakamba as the holders and Jack behind the front 2 like when Tommy Johnson used to play for us. Targett and Elmo as the full backs but tucking in to support the midfielders. We need to pack the midfield and then take out maximin so they are less effective. . I believe we are down anyway but may aswell try and enjoy the remaining games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I dont have any optimism for this game the way we're playing, plus I think it's very bad news for us that Joe Linton finally score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for a splendid save McGinn could've had a goal against Sheff Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Which side does Maximin play on? Might be a slaughter if he's playing on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The next three after this are really tough so if we are to have any chance to stay up we need a win here. I still think a diamond is the best formation we have right now as we have no real threat from the wings: Reina Elmo Konsa Mings Targett Luiz Hourihane McGinn Grealish Samatta Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxYoungAVFC Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Already dreading the sight of Saint-Maximin running at our fullbacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I would go for the following (if Guilbert is fit); Nyland Guilbert Konsa Mings Targett Luiz Nakamba McGinn Grealish Samatta Davis Subs; Reina, Elmo, Taylor, Hause, Hourihane, Jota, Trezeguet, El Ghazi, Vassilev Need every one of them up for it right from kick off, they have had two games under their belt now and should be feeling fitter by each day, no crowd in this one should definitely work in our favour, we need to press high from the front and not give them f*****s an inch. Get the ball down, get it to feet, pass and move, get Jack on the ball and lets dominate possession. We need it much more than they do, let's show it. We need to press as a team and defend as a team and we need Konsa and Mings to be switched on for the full 90 - they have serious pace up front and if we stop that threat we have a great chance. Time for Super John McGinn to find some form too - if he's knackered after 60 bring Jack back and bang Jota in the hole - yes he's a lightweight mother f***** but he can play a bit and to be honest the fact he hasn't played is the only reason why I'd bring him on - because the likes of AEG and Trez are constantly failing to perform. Prediction - Newcastle 1 v 3 Villa UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I keep seeing the phrase "if we have any chance of staying up". We're 19th, and we can't buy a win. We even lost twice to **** Bournemouth. Just embrace relegation chaps, it's less stressful. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
