mikeyjavfc Posted December 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2020 RB and Konsa not back in training until tomorrow apparently so I would expect them both to start on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah both will be on bench. But think konsa might start. Barkley will definitely be on bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Will be a massive boost to have both Konsa & Barkley back, but stick them on the bench and keep with the same side that performed brilliantly at The Hawthorns. The likes of Hause, AEG and Traore (in particular) know that if their standards drop they will be replaced and this can only be a good thing for us. I could see an argument for Ross coming in based on the fact he's unavailable for the Chelsea match so would help rotate a little, but I think Dean as built a great team spirit and a lot of that is based on sticking by players that are performing. Can see a 2-2 here - but hope we can nick it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Harsh on Hause but Konsa goes straight back in. The partnership between Ming's and Konsa is vital. I also just prefer a RCB to be right footed. ( If Hause was right footed I'd be happy for Konsa to stay on the bench) Barkley on the bench and to come on around 60 min mark if someone is underperforming Edited December 22, 2020 by Lord Willard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Couldn't sleep and was thinking about this into the early hours. I'm now convinced Barkley comes in for McGinn. We play Saturday then Monday. 2 days between games. That extra rest will keep McGinn sharp for Chelsea where we won't have Barkley. Then we can line up with Grealish and Barkley as 2 AMs with Douglas behind in a 4-1-2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Would be great if we could turn around this home form. 1 point from our last 4 games at VP. Palace presents a decent opportunity but with Zaha & Eze they present some challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AJ Posted December 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2020 Whatever the lineup, I will be happy with it. If it's a problem, it makes a nice change to have such a problem. I am now looking forward to these games with cheerful anxious anticipation, instead of a feeling of dread, like I am chasing a black and white rainbow with a pot of poo on the end of it. Such is the change in Villa. Whether Smithy chooses Ross, Anwar, or Bertrand, it's all good. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) All about opinions but I wouldn’t change the team that started the last game. We were exceptional the other night and completely dominated. Also, if Benteke starts for them then Hause is the perfect opponent to pitch against him.

Adam2003 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Start AEG, Grealish, Traore - bring Ross on for whichever of them is looking least dangerous/most gassed after an hour, then that person is still likely to be starting the Chelsea game.

I do like the McGinn suggestion above - give JMG a rest before Chelsea, go DL/RB/JG in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
