HalfTimePost Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Martinez Chambers Carlos Feeney Pau Tielemans. Dendoncker Traore. Kellyman Bailey Duran Bench: Olsen, Zych, Konsa, Revan, McGinn, Watkins, O'Reilly, Luiz, Kadan Young. Make sure we get to half time sensibly and then take off Pau, Carlos and Martinez. Big guns on the bench on the off chance the kids concede a couple early. Edited August 30, 2023 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I was watching a football channel on YouTube about how good we're starting to look as a team. There was a comment from a Burnley fan who said, we're easily the best Premier league side he's seen since Burnley have been competing at the top end of English football. That's some statement.

On the same theme, when we didn't go by bus and drove to the ground, we joined a Bingo Club situated in the shadow of the Holte End. We were able to park there have a few games of Bingo and then went to watch the match. Last time I was at Villa Park ( Everton circa 2003?) we parked in a working mans club about 3/4 mile away , joined for the day and enjoyed a few jars in there beforehand. They don't even transport prisoners to Steelhouse Lane anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think put Olsen on for Martinez and that’s not far off the starting line up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I'm going with this. Olsen Cash Chambers Torres Revan Tielemans Dendoncker Traore Kellyman Bailey Duran 1st team players on the bench in case they are needed. I dont see Feeney being used and we dont have many other options. Think they will be wary of overloading Carlos' gametime in these early weeks and I'd expect him to start again Liverpool.

Can't think of one who has featured in 1st team at all under Emery. I'd agree it would be better to protect Cash but he's probably one of the fittest players at the club and once everyone is fit I dont see him starting every game this season. Think away especially we will often go with Konsa RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I wouldn’t play a single member of our normal starting XI. We don’t need to and Hibs will kick lumps out of whoever is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
