Kingman Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Still says Saturday 14th - 3pm in main feature title Now Friday 13th - 8pm on Sky! What could possibly go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Over the last fifteen Premier League games only Southampton have been in worse form than Leeds, they had a good first three games but since then have been very poor. So in theory it should be a game that we see as us having a very good chance of winning. But only problem with games like this is it feels like the opposition are due a good result, as runs like the one they're on have to end at some point. Hopefully yesterday's result and performance will get our players extra determinded to put things right in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Well, I don't expect any of the back ups to play. Indeed, unless there's injuries I don't expect anyone on the subs bench to come on in this match. Rendered themselves completely unreliable. However at least Jacob Ramsey is back. **** it, Mcginn if fit goes in in a more advanced role Martinez Young Konsa Mings Digne Luiz Kamara Ramsey Mcginn Ings Watkins A side that means we don't have to play any of bailey, buendia or coutino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 We’re woeful and I think we should just forfeit the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Emi, Mings and Kamara will be all back so straight away the spine has a better mentality and quality to it. Beyond that no idea what we'll put out bar Ramsey will start as he had a stormer v them in February. Sanson should start this imo btw. I think we'll come out firing for this. We better otherwise half the squad need to be sold if they can't get motivated for Emery. Not sure if a basketball game will suit us but at least it will be a better watch than the last two and we will create chances. 3-1 us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 We don't have a great record at VP against them recently, since 2016 (which is the first time we'd played them since 2004), its 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. We've also managed to concede 3 against them in each of the last 3 home games. I don't think they are that good a team (as @useless notes their form is very poor), but if we have another game where we slack off, they have the energy to take advantage.

Rino8 Posted January 9, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2023 Find your attitudes towards your players here funny Were doing a bit worse than you but regardless of our thoughts on the manager we're all behind 99% of the players. Exact reverse here, hate most the squad but like the manager. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 First time visiting Villa Park since pre Covid, when we lost 0-2 at home to WBA in the championship. That was just before we went on that 10 match win streak. Last Villa match I went to was the league cup final, just before Covid really hit so something is bound to happen after this one. The result yesterday has put a bit of a downer on things but still can’t wait for Friday! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exact reverse here, hate most the squad but like the manager. A week ago that wasn’t quite the mood. Sure some of Buendia’s critics (for instance) weren’t blown away by his performance against Spurs, but generally had to concede he did well with the goal. Imagine that, but with about 7/8 players - mostly those who are normally on the bench. Broadly speaking that was the mood. Stevenage changes that. For now.

Demitri_C Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Last season we totally **** it up against them domianting at 3-1 and threw it down the toilet. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Martinez, Konsa, Mings, Young, Kamara should give us more resilience and control. Ramsey back (if fit) will give us focus and speed in possession of the ball, Sanson in too. I'd also play Ings and Watkins, dropping Bailey and Buendia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate in a huff I said to the Missus I wasn’t bothered about watching it and we can do whatever she wants but I’ll probably change my mind Friday morning. Hopefully I don’t regret it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wict01 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Would like to see Martinez, Young, Konsa, Mings, Digne, Luiz, Kamara, Ramsey,(if fit) McGinn (if fit), Ings and Watkins. Coutinho, Buendia, Bailey on the bench but I'd honestly prefer it if they weren't involved at the moment. My opinion may change nearer to kick off.....

Their more recent form isn't that bad....in last six they've only lost to Spurs and Man. City. Beat Liverpool and Bournemouth back to back and drawn with Newcastle and West Ham. Have no idea if this sort of random matchup will suit us but think I'd rather have an end to end game on Friday than have to hold on to a 1-0 which won't be a good idea given what happened yesterday.

Tony Cascarino made a good point today, Leeds really struggled v two forwards at Cardiff. It was Lllorente and Struijk at CB. Don't think Llorente is a regular starter these days but Struijk will probably play v us so I don't think it's the worst call to go with the two CFs for this and be a bit more direct.
