CVByrne Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I think they'll be playing low block counter attacking football so having extra guile with Tielemans is better than pace of Zaniolo/Bailey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 So Tielemans finally gets his big chance. Hope he does well. Really hope he doesn't cock it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 4 goals a game we average at home in the PL this season. Dont see why we cant keep that going tbh 4-2 Villa (Watkins, Diaby, Luiz, Konsa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul33 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 That's the strongest Villa team we can put out at the moment ...... deserved start for Youri ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Interested to see how Tielemans does with the Luiz-Kamara axis behind. Usually when he starts he's been coming in for one of them in the cups, I think only AZ away where we had the 3 start together before and that was his best game. Other than the win, main hope today is that max one of Kamara and Luiz get booked - can't afford to go to Spurs missing both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2023 Tielemans had to start, he's been immense lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what fitness he is in Zaniolo has been close on plenty of occasions, he will score at some point. The impact isn’t purely measured on goals and assists anyway. If Duran gets on the pitch then we can assume that Emery thinks he’s fit enough to play, and if he’s fit enough then he’s more than capable of making an impact, have you forgotten what happened against Palace?

It is noticeable how much space Digne has had in recent games - I think partly because our left midfielder (Zaniolo or McGinn recently) play a bit more centrally and so drag the defenders infield.

VillaJ100 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 My mate is going to watch the game with his dad today. It's a running joke that we NEVER win when they watch a game together. They watch 2-3 home games a season. This run goes back to the 2000 FA cup final, it's something crazy like 2W 15D 75L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Fulham have been fairly effective away from home this season, they have taken points from Arsenal & Brighton on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the ‘wingers’ form the front two of the box midfield which like you say naturally draws the opposition inside. The great thing with Zaniolo and McGinn (and Ramsey) is that they’re both capable of going past players like a winger would but centrally, it scares defenders and gives us so much space for our full backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the fact that bailey and zaniolo haven't been good enough. We really need to sign another winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
