rodders0223 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It should be an easy 3 points. Unlike last season it's a settled squad a balanced team and they should be drilled and cohesive. Also Bournemouth are a rotten watch. Anything less than 6 from 6 is unacceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitvilla Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I'm spending too much time on this forum. Dreaming about football and the Villa. In my dream, Villa won 0 - 7, you heard it here first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Not sure if it would be good man management not starting Tyrone to be honest. Would be too many gut punches at once IMO. We'd be better off giving him a. Chance to play himself out of the team. Saying this even though I'm a big fan of Chambers and wouldn't mind him starting work th Carlos. I'm also one of those awkward people who likes the Left Footed LCB and Right footed RCB balance.

We need to make sure we don't gift cheap goals from set pieces. They'll obviously be lumping it up to Kieffer Moore and he showed for Wales in last euros he can step up at key moments. Think I'd rather Mings is still in there early weeks just to guide Carlos through the opening prem weeks and just be another good aerial presence for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go with McGinn and Ramsey in the middle then i think we will be overrun, . This game is a banana skin! We should be winning this one easily, but like Brentford last season a same on paper we should have won, we lost, Gerrard grows a pair, play both Coutinho and Buendia, or drop Coutinho, either way Buendia must start! Also Ramsey on the bench with Luiz taking his place. Would also be tempted to start with Ings upfront and bring Watkins on later Coutinho was left on bench for both Burnley games at back end of last season so he's not an automatic starter like McGinn is.

Konsa should be the one to start IMO. Best defender by some way not including DC. I don't think Mings will take any of this well at all to be honest. I don't rate him massively but to have not only the captaincy taking but half the squad named as alternatives ahead of him is very strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 So lets make it easy for Steve tomorrow and do a checklist for him. Bailey must start. Buendia must start (if fit). If McGinn is crap please sub him asap. Do not play Ings and Watkins together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that was an insignificant game That was 3rd game of the season when we smashed the runaway Champions after we stayed up in the last minute of the previous season. We then got our highest points total in 11 years in the top flight and our star player then went onto become English footballs most expensive player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 The result is everything today. We just need a positive platform to build the season from. Quieten the crowd and then control the game and hopefully our quality will then tell. Hopefully we get a performance today as well but it’s not the priority. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted August 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2022 The calamitous 2015-2016 relegated Villa team started that season with an away win at newly-promoted Bournemouth. It will be pretty sad if the post-takeover Villa with Coutinho, Bailey, Kamara, Carlos, Martinez, etc. can't match that feat. Obviously, one game doesn't make the season but it would really drain my optimism if we were to lose or draw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
