Maybe Zaniolo will start instead of Bailey. I dont I think pau konsa zaniolo and luiz will be benched I think carlos lenglet youri and bailey will come in for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Will be great to get Moreno some minutes but assume Digne will start. Same goes for Duran and Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Looks like Kyrie Pierre is training with the first team ahead of this game, and presumably why he wasn't involved against Crawley, Kadan Young and Travis Patterson both injured.

Demitri_C Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Hoping we go strongish for this one. Im tempted to play luiz and rest him for fulham as we will need him vs spurs and cant afford a booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Have a feeling we will go weaker tonight as emeey night think our 2nd team can get job done after 1st game. Personally i dont want to take that risk AZ are not a bad team. We should go strong get a good lead then take off players and see the game out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i dont want to take that risk AZ are not a bad team. We should go strong get a good lead then take off players and see the game out Yeah I have the same gut feeling. Like you say, I would want to try and get the job done first and rest up later. I remember AZ missing a couple of really good opportunities at their place which could have altered the final outcome of the match if they had stuck them away, so they still carry a threat and shouldn't be taken lightly. If we are adamant on rotating a few players, then hopefully no more than 3 changes to the starting line up, with some changes made if we are looking comfortable in the last 25 mins. I would bring Tielemans in for Dougie or Kamara, Carlos or Lenglet in for Konsa, and Bailey for Zaniolo. The later subs if looking good would be Moreno on for Digne and Zaniolo for Bailey to gain fitness and form. Then other subs as seen fit by Unai. That would be the ideal situation playing out, but as Villa fans we should know by now it won't be that comfortable or easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect he will take his chances this time of given. He is a top striker Im ok with pau and konsa on bench but other than that i dont want too many changes. Doubt moreno is reafy to start but hopewill get a good 20-30 mins 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I’m looking forward to this, it’s nice having midweek European games to look forward to again. I think Emery will go fairly strong but rotate four at most. Can see Carlos, Lenglet, Tielemans and Bailey coming in, with Moreno getting some minutes later on. That’s still a strong line up if we keep the rest the same, we should win but can’t take that for granted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
