villan-scott Posted August 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2019 Game day. So excited to get back to VP. I have a feeling Smith will change it up a bit today, with Douglas Luiz and Targett coming in. I think Elmo and Trez stay in the side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Will be really interesting to see Bournemouth and see how big the gap really is from the top 4 sides to the rest of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I’d like us to start with Targett today . Gives us more of an attacking feel and we are at home after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Ken McNaughts Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 What a massive day for all those new signings. Walking out into a Villa Park packed to the rafters and thinking "So THIS is my new home". Just to put myself in their shoes for a moment sends a tingle down my spine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'd like to see four changes from last week's starting eleven. Full backs changed for Targett and Guilbert, Luiz in for Hourihane and, Jota for El Ghazi. Switch Trezeguet over to the left and play Jota on the right = sorted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth are a good side and I just get a feeling we'll think it'll be easier than it will be. Some fans may do but I don’t think the management will. They will know every side, especially established teams, this season have an advantage over play off finalists with half a new team. Truth is we need to be winning home games against teams like Bournemouth, or given it’s our second match, at least getting a point. I don’t see us losing and hope for a 2-0 win.

Taylor offers nothing going forward, he's actually a negative, so needs replacing. I'd stick to Elmo, he can cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz will get 30 minutes in the second half and Guilbert will come on after 70 minutes. Jota will feature but will replace either EG or Trez second half.

smokingzen Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hourihane will almost certainly start today IMO... it's a big game, first game at home and we'll want to be on the front foot but also start with a relatively settled team that's not going to be phased by playing at Villa Park. We need to set the foundations for fortress Villa this weekend. For that reason i think that Taylor and Elmo will probably start also. It's going to be an interesting tactical battle but i think we can control this game a little more and exert some real pressure. We'll need to be weary of the counter attack though. 3 - 1 to the Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
