Wainy316 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This has huge banana skin potential. Don't think I can bear giving up 4 points to these this season along with 6 to Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Feels like we are as full strength as we've ever been tonight. Is it only Nakamba out injured now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Gerrard stated yesterday that he has a full squad to choose from, apart from Nakamba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Leeds basically missing their spine (Cooper, Phillips and Bamford). At best, Bamford and another may make the bench. Bamford didn’t even get any minutes last weekend off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree they are weaker without them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Different Leeds tonight, the new coach will have them set up to stifle us - he has to stop them conceding. At worst this will be 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds are undoubtedly weaker without the three players I mentioned starting. Agree we should have beaten them when 3-1 up but we could quite easily have been 0-2 down had James's shot not cannoned off the cross bar - I'm not sure we would have come back from 2 goals down in that moment. Hard game to predict, they looked better against Leicester and probably deserved a point but we're coming off the back of 2 wins so got to be confident based on both teams form. I can see arguments for keeping the same side but can also see why Konsa and Digne would come straight back in as they may be more suited to this type of fixture?! Seems crazy to think many will be ok with Watkins and Ings starting and Buendia on the bench who was our best performer in January but it's a good sign if we have players like Emi, Traore, Bailey all itching to get on from the bench. Just hope we defend well and cut out any stupid mistakes, match their intensity and we have a great deal more firepower which hopefully will see us through.

Zero7 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We can't let midget James do what he did last game, a few crunching tackles from Cash and Konsa early on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Excited to start my day with this one. Can see us continuing the run of momentum and if we can convert that into goals we will get up I think. Not to underestimate Leeds though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Tricky to predict what will happen tonight, but last night I tried gin and tonic for the first time in my life (long story) so anything is possible. Will they get a new manager first home game bounce or will we tear them a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I’m quite looking forward to this now, should be an entertaining game and one we can win. I’ve been a bit despondent about football lately but the couple of wins in a row have captured my interest again. Hoping for another goal from Watkins, and one from Mings would be great. 0-2 Villa please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 3 wins on the bounce is something we should be doing with more regularity through the season going forward. Good chance tonight, but they will be well up for this. We’ve had 3 games with Coutinho on the pitch where we have had spells in games where we’ve blitzed teams and scored quickfire goals in succession (Man Utd, Leeds, Soton). That’s what having a world class talent on the pitch can do, change a game in an instant. He has brought that back to this team. All at Villa Park though, love to see something similar away from home tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
