Will it upset you if I tell you Ollie is out? It upset me. Need the lad back ASAP. Gives us breathing space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd obviously like him playing, but I'm not sure it's a day for both so at least if he doesn't make it we'll get a three man central midfield.

villalad21 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 3 or 4-0 Chelsea Couldn't see us getting a result anyways but with the injury situation we've got no chance here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 We know Smith has history of not telling the truth with our injuries, but he has said Bailey could start this game, Traore may be back, Ollie should be available, Sanson and Ramsey possibly too, plus McGinn and Mings back. No idea on Konsa. Martinez missing is the biggest loss, Buendia we can probably cope without if our attacking players are available. My team: Steer Cash Konsa* Mings Targett McGinn Luiz Sanson Bailey Ings Watkins * If Konsa not fit Tuanzebe plays Subs: Sinisalo, Tuanzebe, Hause, A.Young, Nakamba, J.Ramsey, El Ghazi, Traore, Chukwuemeka Still don't see us getting anything but that team is competitive. Just have no idea why we didn't go for someone like Romero (who is still a free agent) given Steer is our backup and is not anywhere near proven enough at the highest level.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Steer Cash - Tuanzebe - Mings - Young Douglas McGinn - Ramsey Bailey - Ings - El Ghazi Kante should be out injured, Reece James suspended. They’re down to the bare bones Mings v Lukaku could be a nightmare if Mings gets too involved in his ego battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan501 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Smith not said anything on Konsa I found his comments if I'm right Tuesday after the Brentford game he said something along the lines " Unfotunately Ezri had to go off. It was nice for him to captain the team but yeah I think he will be alright. I haven't spoken to the doctor yet for an early diagnosis but he was walking OK. On what planet would you not get an update from the club doctor regarding a player who is vital for us. Too many times he does this just makes his own rubbish up. How can we ever look forward to seeing our villa play at full strength with Doctor DOSNT HAVE A CLUE Smith. 3 days after injury and hasn't asked about what's wrong with Konsa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Going to be a tough game. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays Nakamba in the middle in a more defensive lineup. A draw would be a very good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2021 There are very few games I go into in a season with absolutely zero expectation of a result. This is one of those games. I can usually conjure an unlikely draw of some description in my imagination. Not here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2021 Yeah total free hit this one might as well go as balls out as we can. With injuries at the back, no Martinez, it would be asking a bit much to be playing for a clean sheet against this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
