Why has Cash been dropped? Why has Carlos been dropped? Wouldn’t it make more sense to play Bailey (a left winger) on the left wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Would like to see a 4-3-2-1 with these guys to see if it works Martinez Cash Carlos Mings Digne Kamara Luiz McGinn Buendia Coutinho Whoever is in form out of Ings, Watkins or Bailey Ideally I'd go with a 4-2-3-1 with Luiz Kamara in CM behind Bailey, Coutinho and Buendia with Watkins or Ings up front but can't see Gerrard dropping his new captain after 1 game. Edit: Fwiw I wouldn't mind if he tried Archer from the start but don't see that happening either. Edited August 11, 2022 by sne 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t, I think they’ll hate a miserable, toxic atmosphere no matter who it’s aimed at. Everton, the rest of the league and media will love it though. Look at Utd, 1st game of the season and they booed the players! That was aimed at the players. I don't like to see booing, but if we play like we did vs Bournemouth then the fans are entitled to voice their disappointment! Fail to win this and things could get toxic very quick, we have a tough run of fixtures! Away at Palace then home to West Ham then away to Arsenal before City come to Villa Park! Say we lost all those games, Villa Park would be toxic when Southampton came to town on the 16th September, live on Sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Would be nice if the game plan was focused on playing it on the ground this time instead of trying to cross it high into the box against immobile beanpole Yerry Mina and a James Tarkowski who spent the last 6 years standing in his own box heading the ball away. Just an idea. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted August 11, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 It's a very big game for Steven - if we were to lose this one, the pressure would be enormous. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Luiz needs to play to receive the ball from Kamara. One of Ramsey and Mcginn to be benched. Chambers in for Konsa. Should be enough, hopefully for the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) First home game of the season and already it’s full of tension. Massive for Gerrard and the players, and a chance to give everyone some belief back. Honestly, I don’t know our best eleven right now but the real worry is that I don’t think the manager does either? By fluke or judgement, we need the three points otherwise it’s going to get quite hostile and we don’t want that. I’m going to say a nervy but narrow win.

Everton were terrible that day for first hour and that was first time I thought they could genuinely go down and they weren't far off in the end. It really shouldn't be difficult for us, we've won 4 out of 6 v them since coming up and think we've only conceded a goal in two of those games. Should help us they don't seem bothered about getting in a CF just yet, Gordon will probably have to be carried off with heatstroke after an hour way he charges about. So 1-1 then....

useless Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I think we will win, I'm not basing that on anything to do with football, it just seems inevitable that after the meltdown following the Bournemouth result, we will now go and win the next game. Somehow have a feeling Archer is going to get his first Premier League goal as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Second game of the new season,and, already its a must win game.Is that some sort of record ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Will Hill are doing evens for a goal to be scored in the match. £10 max stake. So if we do lose at least you’ll make a tenner. A horrible 0-0 wouldn’t be great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It's been a long **** week, Jesus. We better win or I'll be in foul humour all next week too! 2-1 Villa. Gerrard to save his skin. Purslow to call him up after and ask if he can finger his bottom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
