VillaChris Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Just now, catanzaro said: and the fact it is a winning team means the players are desperate to get back in to training so they are bound to push the limits of their fitness, which I'm sure is what has happened with Kamara/Moreno and Ramsey Yeah Ramsey breaking a metatarsal and coming back in less than three months was always pretty risky. He obviously thought he could do it and medics gave Emery all clear to play him and then he gets a re-occurrence somewhere. Big result if we can get him back for December as personally I'm not expecting to see him feature again for us in 2023 if the lay off is a similar timescale to the summer injury so that would be a bonus in terms of player fitness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good target to me would be the Man. City-Arsenal double header in just over 60 hours. You'd want Moreno fully fit by then to come in v Arsenal as Digne will be shattered playing v Doku and then potentially having to face Saka so that's where squad depth is critical. Doku plays LW though don't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.k Digne will be fecked from Kyle Walker and whoever else pops up on their right e.g. Bernardo Silva or Alvarez. Point is Man. City-Arsenal within three days is where you need to be changing your FBs as they'll be expanding plenty of energy. We've also got Bournemouth away on the preceding Sunday so that's the part of the season where the schedule gets very intense and we can't just keep putting out the same 11s for prem games as results will decline.

Rather than starting rusty. Other options are to use the centre backs in a back 3 of shift Torres left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need him longer term. That's a good point. Let him come back slowly when he is fully ready. Though as someone said, if he can play with full fitness against Arsenal in mid-December that would be fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't just drop Digne, Moreno will be brought back in gradually I'd say. But if you want to be successful, you have to be ruthless (to a certain extent) and play your very best XI. Digne has done well but it's great to have competition for places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Just been catching some junk about him not being happy at Villa, due to lack of game time. They should make lying a criminal offence and fines applied.....The NHS would be awash with money, the pensioners would have Bentley's on Motability and the Benefits claimants would be off work with impunity and 3 holidays abroad a year.

Powehi Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I reckon he's completely buggered up that stunt to be honest. A silent approach round the corner with that garb on would have been way more effective. The screech basically told them he was there. Nevertheless, good to see him back on the grass.
