I don't think we need to take that risk; by all means if the match is well won then bring them both on for thirty minutes at the end of the game.

DakotaVilla Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Can’t keep them wrapped up in cotton wool. The only way to know if they’re fit is to give them game time and then that increases the pressure on Digne and Bailey/Tielemans to up their performances even further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Someone said there’s over a thousand tickets cancelled but fans are still turning up. I’m not sure what that even means though. Stay safe those that are going as last time they played in England wasn’t great. Link Quote Leicestershire Police said 14 officers were attacked and injured during the game between Leicester City and Legia Warsaw on 25 November. Two needed hospital treatment, with one suffering a broken wrist. Flares were set off at the King Power Stadium and fans tried to breach the line between the two sets of supporters, the force added. Edit : just seen this was discussed on the ticket thread. Edited November 28, 2023 by Vive_La_Villa Removed the general sale part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully no incidents. It hasn't, you can only buy a ticket with an AVFC FAN ID created before the draw was even made for the group stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Go hard and if we can get a 2 or even 3 goal lead then make subs for Alex and Jacob but this is an important game to get right. I'd rather we nail it with the strongest side to give the final game a complete freebie to relax in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Some rotation for this or full strength? I'd go: Martinez Cash Konsa Lenglet Digne Bailey Kamara Tielemans Zaniolo McGinn Duran Moreno and Ramsey in second half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Some changes but agree with others, go strong and wrap up this tournament. Our squad lets us do that now i believe. Would like to see Emil Cash Carlos Lenglet Moreno Bailey Youri Kamara Ramsey Zaniolo Duran Expecting Mcginn, Ollie, Luiz, Konsa, Digne to all play a significant part as well.

Mic09 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Legia is a totally different animal to what we experienced in September. In fact, they are a bit of a joke now. Losing and drawing. Their league form is They lost 4, won 1 and drawn 2 in the last 7 games. The win was a 1-0 against a poor team. I am worried we might see our cup Villa play tomorrow, but if we play half as well as we do in the league, I can't see us not scoring 3-4 goals.

And anyone else wanting a go! I assume if we win 3-2 we should be o.k aswell with GD due to the big win in Alkmaar. If the players want a free midweek between the Arsenal and Brentford games they play well in this. If not they go off to play in Bosnia in the midweek between those two games. Round Trip ticket for the tea lady. Woodward gets a one-way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Lenglet needs to start this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 No point rushing Ramsey or Moreno back so it will be interesting to see how any rotation pans out over the next 10 days as to whether they are back in full contention. No point resting the big names for the big games if we don't win the others. Not much bigger in the last few dacades than a game between the top two in the group to see who finishes top of the European group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East London Villa Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Emery has already talked pre-match about carefully managing the squad through fixture congestion. The only players I'm certain will start tomorrow are Martinez (doesn't trust Olsen) Lenglet (straight switch every time in Europe so far for Pau) and Kamara (because he'll miss Bournemouth). Great that we have multiple options in every position coming into this tough spell. It might not translate into points with some very tough games, but by comparison to 3 of our closest competitors, Spurs Newcastle Brighton, our current options to rotate are much stronger.

Adman Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Start cash so that he gets straight back on the horse in a less hostile environment. Think he could be a bit fragile with all the spurs nonsense. He's probably been sent death threats and god knows what... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Everyone going just keep your wits about you. Should be loads of Police but their fans away are a bit crazy judging on the videos of them at Leicester a couple of years back. Although it seems they like to fight the police as much as their rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I think that its key to pick a team that have some familiarity with each other. 3 of the back 4 against Warsaw had never played together had they ? They have all got more familiar to their fellow players and tactics now i guess. Martinez if fit has to start . You could play Cash Carlos Lenglet and Moreno.. gives Digne and Konsa a rest. Kamara Tielemans JJ and McGinn in midfield to rest Dougie Duran and Bailey up front to rest Ollie and Diaby. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
