Starting AEG just seems like the definition of insanity to me.

LondonLax Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 With the injuries we have that’s a pretty good lineup. No issues from me if it’s legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was madness playing him on the right last week though… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think JPB deserves to start over him though given their respective performances in pre season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 AEG hasnt had a great pre season but when he's on form he is capable of good form. He's not first choice, it's debatable whether he's second choice on the left wing. But we are where we are and it's likely too early to put JPB out there. It's not his fault, he'll hit another purple patch much easier if he's being supported, just don't get on the lads back, support him. We all know how much he struggled with online abuse last time his form was out. He had a good season last year and deserves respect, praise and support now fans are back to help get him back to where he was. It's not his fault Jack left and Bailey is injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelvey out too. We need to put so many past him that he's axed for the next game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s dropped for being shit, maybe just hit home about how unfit he is. Maybe learnt from the ‘play Ross Barkley back to fitness’ bullshit from last year.

Obviously I want a positive result but I am just looking forward to getting back to the match day experience. Stay safe and enjoy the game to all. In about 5 minutes I'm going to put my Villa top on and get in the car. It's going to be immense. Can't wait. Even looking forward to the shitty burger from the burger van Edited August 21, 2021 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 36 minutes ago, Farlz said: Bit surprising if he's benched Targett already but other than that the team looks good. Dean knows that if he gets roasted by Saint-Maximin in the first half three things will happen. 1) Targett confidence will be smashed 2) Fans will get on his case. 3) Dean would be blamed. ASM isnt quite as direct as Sarr, Grealish-esque he'll hold the ball up more and pull out more tricks. But it would be fair to ask questions of Dean for making the same mistake two weeks back to back with a player just back from injury. It's a smart decision but I agree I wasn't sure whether he'd make it. I started to think he might when he was so open that he was 'much better' Vs Liverpool on Sunday, was about as close as Dean has ever got to singling an individual out for a poor performance.

Dave-R Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I predict the death of Bruce as Newcastle manager today. Our fans giving Bruce a good thrashing, Newcastle fans giving Bruce a good Thrashing and if Villa players and Smith give the Newcastle Team a good thrashing then I fear it's all over for him. Bruce's sacking has been a longtime coming and a humiliating defeat to us with fans on Botha sides giving Cabbage some shit, he will be done I think.

(as in, doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result) Agreed even more, Ghazi shouldn't start against Newcastle or any other team, not when we have superior players to him. Ghazi is just goals and most of the time he struggles to get them and needs a great amount of chances to score alot of the time. As to the post you replied to, I to would rather see Youth play before Ghazi, Wesley and Davis, they are three players I think Villa needs to move on from son as the club can.

Funny, if that happens from what I been reading on Newcastle forum Villa would get more shit from Newcastle fans for allowing Bruce to remain in his job even longer lol. If it was nearend of season and we were secure or we got Europe or no chance of it then I'd say lose the game just to make Bruce look ace to keep there fans all that much more annoyed . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Targett & Marv dropped. Doug & Ramsey in. El Ghazi over Philogene is quite the selection. No Watkins, Bailey, Traore in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
