Hause if fit and I like that formation. I really can't see Traore being a success as a ten though, I've seen a few people put him there and it baffles me, I think he'd be lost - having a touchline next to him is the only thing that keeps him even vaguely in any sort of specific position. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, yeah it's more as he's the only one fit I'd fancy could do something special. Can't see Barkley getting back his early season form unfortunately. Giving a free role behind two strikers to Traore might just give him a platform to do something mental and unexpected. He's got all the football tools in abundance but yep I can't see him following tactical instructions to the letter, so either "stay close to the white line" or "run be free" might be the order of the day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I think if this evenings game between Liverpool and Leeds goes ahead, I cannot see our game being cancelled. interesting that Plop, Citeh, Chelsea and Spudz all have midweek games this week.

The Fun Factory Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Should have a massive 20ft inflatable European Cup trophy in the Holte End. This is what you haven't won lads and you are going to blow it again and you will never then win it.

Not a bad option. Or a 4-3-3 with an extra CM'er - Nakamba or Ramsey - instead of Hause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Out of the two players who made a massive impact as subs against Fulham we've lost one but we've still got the other available, Keinan Davis, so I'd quite like to see him get his first start of the season. With Watkins playing slightly in front of him, I guess, maybe in a 4-1-4-1 rather than a 4-4-2 to avoid getting too overrun in midfield (if Davis can do well in an attacking central midfield position). In front of Emi and the usual back four: Luiz Traore McGinn Davis AEG Watkins Edited April 19, 2021 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 P.s. The ESL hasn't happened just yet and meanwhile we've still got a season to finish, I still care about us finishing in the top ten! Go on team, you can do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hopefully we have some t-shirts made up for the prematch warm up that should be given to the City players to come out and wear too in solidarity. This would send some sort of message at least. 0-4 but its all irrelevant now anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's more ridiculous, the thought of us beating Man City or Davis scoring an actual goal with a real football in an a proper football match. I think the latter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 All feels a bit empty this now to me. And it's not just because its against Man City, just my feeling in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted April 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2021 Seems like a million years since our last game, who was that against? Rapid Bucharest? Can’t remember. Come on Villa! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 20, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2021 Tricky to pick a side and a full bench. ---------------------------------Martinez----------------------------- Cash--------------Konsa------------Mings-----------Targett ------------------------------Nakamba------------------------------ -----------------------Luiz---------------McGinn------------------ Traore---------------------------------------------------El Ghazi ------------------------------Watkins------------------------------- Subs; Heaton, Taylor, Elmohamady, Hause, Engels, J Ramsey, Barkley, Davis and erm......one more - it won't be Barry, Kesler, Chukwuemeka or A Ramsey all of whom either played ninety minutes or came off injured for the U18's today - maybe Philogene-Bidace or Wesley?
