romavillan Posted October 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2021 4 hours ago, ferguson1 said: Based on the squad news today, I’d still like us to go with the following team: Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Targett Luiz McGinn Sanson Buendia Ings El Ghazi Subs: Steer, Tuanzebe, Hause, Young, Ramsey, Carney, Traore, Bailey, Watkins Bring Traore, Bailey and Watkins on in the second half to truly rub salt in the Arsenal wounds! That's certainly the kind of shape that we'll need to fit the wingers in, we can't do it with 2 up top or 3 at the back with our midfield. Could also go: Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Targett Luiz McGinn Buendia Chukwuemeka Watkins Ings Then you could move Buendia to the 10 role to bring on Bertie and move Watkins up top for Ings to bring on Bailey. Ramsey for Carney maybe. I think it's a shape that suits what we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Think I'd go with.. Martinez Cash --- Konsa - - - Mings - - - Targett Douglas Mcginn -------- Ramsey Buendia - - - - Ings - - - - - - Watkins Sanson might not be fit yet but would sub him on for Ramsey around 65mins. Bertie for Buendia 80mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Is the 4 year old protege playing, for them? Zayn Ali Salman. One for Newcastle to keep their eye on. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-58988254 Edited October 21, 2021 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 We bossed Arsenal last season, and I wonder whether that was because we revelled in our 'under dog' tag? We don't seem to do so well when we shoulder the weight of expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the potential to ruin my entire weekend. not for me anymore, football shouldn't do that to you its not worth it, especially with these villa and arsenal teams as inconsistent as they are, we could win this 3-0 just as easily as we could lose it 3-0, tonight's result depends as much on who got out of bed in what mood this morning as much as it does anything else and you cant hang your mood on that i was lining up a pack of beers and some rum for it but i cant be bothered if im honest, i'll probably watch it in bed whilst the wife watches some soap opera 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just can’t call this one - Arsenal and Villa very inconsistent. Please go 433!! Surely he will with Traore and Bailey on the bench ready to come on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the feeling but I am a glass half full person so I am saying to myself that we will win this evening and it will make my weekend even better. In Ireland this weekend is a bank holiday weekend so Monday off and today our Covid restrictions are relaxed a little more and pub closing times are extended and we are now allowed to order a pint at the bar as opposed to having table service only. So 3 points please and I can enjoy another step in returning to normality 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think we will start the game with 3-5-2, and hopefully switch to 4-3-3 with Bailey and Traore coming on after 60/65 minutes assuming they are fit enough for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) On this football weekend 3 years ago, we lost 2-1 away to Norwich - inflicting Dean Smith's first loss as manager and putting us 16th in the Championship with 18 points from 14 games. 3 years later, we're pretty confident about facing Arsenal away from home Edited October 22, 2021 by bobzy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truly truly time to get back to basics and a 1 striker system.

Roll up roll up, get your prerequisites in early boys, need to list the things Dean needs to do in this one match, so if he doesn't we can all beat him over the head with the list of things he should have done.
