SG said that he wants two players for every position. That's 22. You can start 11 and have 9 on the bench. That means that, if everyone's healthy, we're going to have 2 players who are "in the picture" who aren't going to make the squad for any given match.

MaVilla Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just now, TRO said: do know what....I am thinking that more and more its madness tbh. we have a sub slot for every position in the back 4 (Young, Chambers, Mings & Ludwig), but Chambers can play CB or RB, we dont need 2 central defenders on the bench, and we dont have Timmy or Sanson on the bench. Add that to the usual Buendia anomaly.....just madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I would have sanson on the bench over young. Chambers or even konsa can cover rb if cash gets injured during the game. Feel like having someone like sanson to come offers the team alot more than young coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 On paper this is the strongest lineup we've had for well over a decade. Pace, creativity, goals and a very solid back four and keeper. This could be a great season for the Villa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I do feel they will sit too deep for Bailey to be as effective as he can be. I'd expect Buendia, Luiz, Watkins and Archer all to get on at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Why is anyone surprised that Mings and Buendia aren't starting? Gerrard said only yesterday that both had been carrying knocks throughout the week so why risk them when we've got good enough players instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I guess there is discussion, then there is routinely disagreeing with everything the manager does just on principle. I do sometimes wonder if Villatalk hasn’t painted itself into the latter corner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t get it last season so don’t see how there is an expectation we get it now. Need Luiz in there at the very least…fear that BK will be overrun and once again our midfield will be too easy to get through. Hope I’m proved wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 for me, the biggest surprise is JJ. I think he can be very good, but I think he can be bullied and disappear. Especially since it seems clear that bournemouth's only hope is to bully us. a bit more maturity there (Luiz most likely) would make more sense to me. But "COME ON JJ. Have your best day ever and shut up old critics like me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Very harsh on Mings. Konsa does not deserve to be there on merit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Glad Ings and Bailey are in. No surprise Coutinho starts instead of Buendia, on the left, but it's still wrong. That midfield 3 is no surprise, but would be concerned if we used that 3 against better opposition. Konsa getting the nod over Mings is weird. Chambers looked the best pre season so if you're dropping him for anyone it should have been him. But then, maybe all those people hating on Mings for his careless mistakes were on to something, even though the stats would suggest otherwise. Think this team should still comfortably overcome Bournemouth and I'm delighted we've dropped the 2 forwards experiment. Let's see how it goes!
