Personally I prefer he doesn’t make match preparations easier for opposing manager. Yeah like Bruce is going to change his selection or tactics whether Bailey is on the bench or not.

Ramsey has to produce soon - he can't keep getting starts and offer so little. Didn’t watch the last game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 I can see logic in team selection even if in black and white it dosen't look that good. Buendia drifting in from right which you all tell me he was amazing at Norwich so hopefully he can get on the ball and link up with Ings and we should create chances. Luiz and Ramsey as two sitters should add energy with McGinn as number 10 getting into the box. Young over Targett justified after last week, hopefully he can use his experience to nulify Saint Maximn. It's not great, we have too many injuries but think if we get the first goal we'll be o.k today. Really need the VP crowd to back us throughout the match and not just do anti-G***lish chants for 90 minutes. Go 1 down though and it will be difficult particularly as we have very little on the bench bar the two young kids who might be surprise packages. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just now, HalfTimePost said: He's injured Dave. Fair enough mate, but I am worried that Smith is going to return to the overuse of Ghazi and were going to struggle from both sides now no Grealish. I've had concerns from before the season started that we still didn't bring in enough players for positions that do see alot of Injurys. I had a feeling Injurys would grab us but this severe at the start is beyond what I thought. We only need one or two more Injurys and will have no choice to play youth which is a sign were in trouble and in a severe injury state. I mean I don't mind seeing youth play but if it's forced and not a choice, I feel it's all different. I think I would of liked us to of brought in another Winger and certainly a midfielder of the defensive mind. I have this bad feeling that someone else will be limping off today and I also feel that these Injurys may define our season and many of us will be calling for even greater depth next window.

Popular Post nick76 Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 So good to be back at the ground. All the up and downs of the summer window disappear and all that matters is the next couple of hours. Martinez comes out to warm up and it’s like being a kid again even though I’m 44. I’m so grateful that we’ve been able to watch it all on tv over the last 18 months during Covid but being at the ground, just nothing beats it. C’mon Villa! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjackle Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Will need the full house to pull the team through this one. We've started the season with so many injuries- cant really remember having 3/4 first team out at once last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't started yet, it's a bbig occasion with fans back at VP and a tough game after we got smashed last week. He's the only winger on the bench he'll get minutes. Up to him to prove he's worth a start in a game that isn't Vs Walsall or Salernitana (sp) love him or not, AEG has been in the squad for 3 seasons and had a good year last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I had a dream last night Mings scored a weird long range goal like it sort of lobbed the keeper and our second goal was from callum O’Hare who was slipped in and scored with a nice tidy finish this was all before half time we were 2-0 up and i was on the bench very weird dream , i only dream about matches against man united tbf so that was strange, but why is Philogene-Bidace not in that starting eleven jesus christ ! ... DS i have the most utmost respect for you but come on this is ridiculous... our midfield looks terrible but you never know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia has to run this show, he has to be a thorn in Newcastle's side for 90mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
