The atmosphere will be a strange one initially I reckon, perhaps sombre? However, I hope once kick off begins we really get behind the team, make it loud, and try to get a convincing win. It would be understandable if we make very few changes from the team that did so well against Man City last time out, but surely we should be on the front foot for this one? I’d love to see Dendoncker gets minutes but these will come from the bench I think. McGinn will no doubt start again but he’s on very thin ice and we have the quality now to replace him soon enough if his form doesn’t drastically improve. So Coutinho or Ramsey on the left is the only decision I think Gerrard needs to make for this one. Personally, I think he’ll start Coutinho based on the fact we’re playing a team where we should have more of the ball and be able to create more. Martinez Young Konsa Mings Digne Kamara Luiz McGinn Bailey Coutinho/Ramsey Watkins Subs: Olsen, Guilbert, Augustinsson, Chambers, Dendoncker, Ramsey, Buendia, Ings, Archer. I think we can win and reasonably comfortably, so I’m saying 3-0 and our first clean sheet on the season. If we do put in a dire performance again and lose/draw, then I can’t see how Gerrard will ever get us playing at a consistent level. We need a win and a performance to go with it. Massive evening. Martinez suspect, and Olsen out so I gather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 One of the keepers will be fine otherwise we'd have signed someone on short term deal. Everton signed a guy who got released by Leicester this week as they have injuries to Pickford and their third choice. Newcastle also randomly signed Lorius Karius this week. I'm sure Emi has played through some injuries for us so can't see an illness keeping him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Read an article earlier about Filip Marschall being ready to step into the goal today. He had a really interesting background and actually only started goalkeeping 5 years ago, played as a defender in the Cambridge setup until 13! Think we will win 2-1 tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2022 Just please can we play some actual football. If we can't do that then can we please sack Gerrard and get a coach in who can get us to play some actual football again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studs didn't touch. Ergo corner. The problem was old Pete didn't know the rules and raced after it like a guilty. Anyway, I'm over it now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted September 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Looking at the tickets on the OS it looks like this might be a sell out as only 20odd tickets left in the whole of VP… surprising for a Friday night, on the telly, when we’ve not been playing the best. We do really have the best fans! Edited September 16, 2022 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
