BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Could do with a Danny Ings masterclass in finishing today. Ramsey Buendia McGinn need to be full of energy which they normally are. Come on lets just rack up some points and get players back to fitness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Boooo thought you was coming Rome with me Nick Edited August 21, 2021 by Dave-R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Newcastle’s 11 makes me feel a lot better. Ours looks far stronger IMO. Big game for Luiz. I reckon he’ll be right on it and we’ll win. Edited August 21, 2021 by JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is fit, getting immediately benched after one bad half seems pretty cutthroat treatment for the player's POTY. Sort it out, Smith. Young is better, simples.

Be amazed if he isn't on the left this week considering he did well there last week and we got smashed down the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just now, Dave-R said: I hope your right because that team isnt good Chris. Buendia has to run this show, he has to be a thorn in Newcastle's side for 90mins. Well we have injuries. Ollie and Bailey would've been certain starters for sure today, perhaps Traore instead of AEG aswell so it's difficult when squad is being restructured and a couple of certain startes aren't options. We still have a top class keeper playing, Mings-Konsa, hopefully goal last week will mean McGinn will chip in with a few goals in next few weeks. Maybe El Ghazi will hit the top corner from 25 yards at some stage Today will be tougher with the injuries but I don't quite subscribe to its all doom and gloom just yet. If Newcastle turn us over then yes I will as it will mean we'll likely be around bottom 3 until November with the fixtures we have coming up in next 10 weeks.

KMitch Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 My prediction: Regardless if we win or lose, half this site will complain about DL/McGinn and the other half will complain about El Ghazi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could do with Ings being his usual goal thievery self today, he's done it enough at Southampton and he could also be another who unlocks a Newcastle defence. Ings is good in tight spots and can do remarkable things in small gaps and very quickly to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I hope to God this is Ramsey’s breakthrough game. He looks built for it now. Could be massive if we get him performing at a high level during this time. You need people to step up in adversity and this could be his time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that he plays on their left/our right, which means he's up against Cash. 25 minutes ago, Dave-R said: I now think Smith may have screwed up again relying on his weakness of placing to much confidence in Ghazi. I don't think that he has that much confidence in Ghaz. If Traore or Bailey were fit, he would not be starting Ghaz. I'm not sure whether he's planning on using Ghaz on our right again, but Ghaz does not have the pace to track back and help out against Maximin. I hope that's not our undoing today.
