PieFacE Posted August 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2021 **** it. Lawro has predicted that we're going to win 2-0 again This has a loss written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) I think we'll probably see McGinn and Nakamba as the two in midfield again, just depends on how Luiz is feeling. Front 4 I'd go Buendia right, Bailey left and Ings and Watkins middle, with Ings playing just a bit deeper than Watkins.

It feels like it, doesn’t it? It’s a long old season though so it’s not really a must win. But if we lose then this place will be unbearable for another week. We really need to get that feel good factor back, three points tomorrow will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Same as it ever was Quote Steve Bruce tackles fed-up Newcastle United fans by holding sparky radio phone-in The Newcastle United boss insists the job is still a "dream" as he faced intense questioning from his harshest critics, including his relationship with Mike Ashley, progress, ambitions, transfer dealings and style of play at St James' Park “Winning a trophy has become difficult, because of the power of the top six, maybe top eight. "I got to a cup final with Hull, Wigan have done it, Leicester have. The fans here want it more than any other team.” Bruce was told he was too downbeat BEFORE games, when often he is just being respectful to the opposition. Bruce replied: “Point taken. I will try to address that. We are up against Europe's most outstanding teams. I don't want to under-value or belittle our club in any way. “We have the nucleus of a very good squad and if they stay fit I know we are capable of taking on anyone.” Bruce was also told he was too downbeat ahead of games. Bruce replied: “Point taken. I will try to address that. We are up against Europe's most outstanding teams. I don't want to under-value or belittle our club in any way. “We have the nucleus of a very good squad and if they stay fit I know we are capable of taking on anyone.” When asked when fans could expect the brand of football, and results, to improve, Bruce replied: “In two years you have four transfer windows. We have brought in (Joe) Willock. We have got (Miguel) Almiron, Joelinton, Callum Wilson. The team is improving. “The brand of football is a debate? You have to be a bit pragmatic at times. Fans want to see goals and entertainment. It is getting the balance right. “We have got to be better than avoiding relegation. Stay well, big players stay fit and I am hopeful we'll be better than last year.” On the social media abuse he has received Bruce told Total Sport on BBC Newcastle: “No one likes to be criticised. From day one I knew I'd not be everyone's cup of tea. I try to win them over and that is by results. “If it is balanced and constructive, fine, you accept it. It is part of it. "My son (Alex) has got embroiled in it. Then again some of the comments... he has a right to have a go back. Some of it is ridiculous. “The vast majority, like when I walk the dog, people are great to me. A few on social media just want to be destructive.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/steve-bruce-newcastle-fans-phone-24798203?_ga=2.209196306.1470148401.1629115423-220699658.1537900623 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted August 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2021 so bailey one side and either young/el ghazi on the other. no watkins. ffs...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappadan Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Bailey on the left and Buendia on the right with Ramsey in the middle and Ings up top. Mcginn and Luiz in behind with the usual suspects in the back 5. 2-0 win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett Luiz - McGinn Buendia - Ramsey - Bailey Ings No Ollie again so I’d go with this tomorrow. Nothing mentioned about Bailey being injured so I’m assuming he’s fine and can come in on left and push Buendia wide. No need for Nakamba in a game like this so Ramsey from the start Edited August 20, 2021 by Farlz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Assuming Sanson, Luiz, Watkins and Bertie are all out. I'd go with front 4 of JPB, Ings, Bailey & Buendia behind them. Marv and McGinn in midfield or Bailey, Ings, Buendia, with JJ, McGinn and Marv behind them in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Targett McGinn Nakamba Buendia Chukwuemeka Bailey Ings Would like to see what Chuk could do in that number 10 role; but wouldn’t be against Ramsey starting there if he’s not ready for it. Sanson or Luiz to come on to sure up the midfield if needed in the 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 On the plus side Newcastle have both keepers out so some guy called Freddie Woodman will be in goal. Shelvey out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I'll never understand how we treat and talk about injuries at Villa. How on earth so many minor knocks can turn into players missing multiple games is beyond me, particularly when Smith seems to think it's nothing serious... Until it is. That aside, I think we're in for a frustrating draw here. Both sides missing key players, both sides with shite midfields, Villa Park crowd sure to get antsy if no goal in the first 30 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Fun Factory Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 I can't believe I am actually going to Villa Park tomorrow with 40 odd thousand fellow fans. 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
