Ponky Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 As an Aussie I have seen quite a bit of Martin Boyle. He's got some pace and industry about him and can hurt you if he gets in behind the defence. We should be going into this at close to full strength. We can tinker with the lineup in the group stage games but at this stage we have to get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) We have to go relatively strong and ensure a positive performance and result, take no risks. Happy for Tielemans to play and Diego to partner up with Pau… LB is a curious case with uncertainty over Digne’s future… We have to set ourselves up well for that 2nd leg and ensure we qualify. We can “rest players” after this and ahead of the bigger/harder PL games… Such an important game. Complacency has killed us in the past, on more than one occasion, we simply cannot afford it today, Edited August 23, 2023 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely to last 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Olsen is one of the changes I would consider making, him being in goal isn't going to be the difference between winning and losing, so might as well give Martinez a rest and not risk catastrophic to him, the player we can least afford to get injured over a lengthy period, Also would be a good chance to get Olsen's confidence up just in case we do need him in more difficult games to come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro_kings_82 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 As long as McGinn plays. Also would like to see Archer get a good outing. If score permits. Put him on for second half run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends. If Archer is leaving Villa in the next few days, then rather have Duran as our main striker. Either way, i wouldn't start with Watkins.

UpTheVilla26 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I don't really pay much attention to Scottish Football. Anyone who does, how good are Hibernian? I mean, what kind of standard in England would they be, lower Prem, upper Championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be starting him. Can then hopefully rest him for the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
