newhavenhibby Posted August 22, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) I believe you will go fairly strong for the first tie in order to put the tie out of reach, bearing in mind you have Burnley this Sunday but after the home tie next week you go to Anfield on the Sunday where it will be nice to have many of your top players nicely rested for that big test. ( no disrespect to Burnley) Talk about going from one extreme to the other next week...........one moment you're against a Scottish pub side in front of a large Villa home support and then 3 days later you are at Anfield.......say no more!' As for Neil Lennon he should stick to Irish football and of course Celtic. As for being physical he hasn't seen our general speed so we will end up chasing shadows for most of the night..........you've got to get near them first Neil!

cheltenham_villa Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 To be honest, looking at our side and bench from the weekend. We dont really have much choice but to go strong. Unai played 2 keepers on the bench, that says to me that he doesnt really trust anyone else. If you didnt make the squad at the weekend, id be shocked to see you involved on Wednesday. A couple of small tweaks for me. Bring in Carlos, Tieleman's, Olsen, and Duran/Archer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 We should play a strong team but rest a few players. We have Burnley on Sunday which I think is important we win because we go to Anfield after that. I'd probably go: Martinez Chambers Carlos Torres Digne Tielemans Kamara Traore McGinn Zaniolo Watkins Not sure if Zaniolo is fit enough to start but let's see. If the game isn't going to plan after 60 minutes then we have Diaby, Bailey and Luiz to bring on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I probably wouldn't start Zaniolo, but if he's fit definitely given him 20 minutes assuming the game situation allows it, maybe more if we've started well enough 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted August 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2023 I'd go as strong as possible for tomorrow. Make sure there's no **** ups, get the job done in the 1st leg and then can think about rotating going forward. I don't think we will but we're so close to a European campaign, I'd rather not mess it up before it's even begun. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Total banana skin this fixture; of course Villa should win but you never know. Hibs will be well up for it and try to make it difficult; I'm certain Emery won't be messing about and will go close to full strength for this. Zaniolo from the bench if he's fit.

Nigel Posted August 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2023 We could win this game with the 2nd team. Madness to expect no rotation with 4 games in 2 weeks and stellar luck with injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Fans will always demand full strength: in all UECL games, in the league cup and obviously in the FA cup. We can always rotate next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
