TomC Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Martinez is a given. Two choices in the back line: Do you put Hause or Tuanzebe in for Konsa? I say Tuanzebe, and I think Deano will too, but I can't say I'm 100% comfortable with either. Do you put Young in for Targett? I think he should, but doubt that Deano will. As for the rest of the team, I'm expecting 4-3-3, so... Midfield: I think that Nakamba and McGinn are givens for Deano, and I think that he'll start JJ over Sanson even if he's not 100%. If it were my choice, I'd give Sanson a chance somewhere, maybe for JJ (why rush him back?) but probably for McGinn, who is in the middle of a bad stretch and whom I don't want to burn out like last year. I think the front 3 are a given, Buendia, Watkins, and Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Just now, TRO said: Hause for me. Hause may be a little bit better defender, but with Soton's high press, I worry about whether he'll give the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Young has probably given the ball away/misplaced passes more than any other player in the squad this season, despite his lack of minutes. I wouldn't have him anywhere near the starting line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 We will win tomorrow. Probably a horrible performance and a scrappy/lucky 0-1 victory. They are garbage and will probably go down. They struggle to create chances and are not particularly physical. It will suit us and we will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenda Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 9 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: As COP-26 is going on I wonder what the overall difference in carbon emissions is in having an evening kick off rather than a day time match? More lighting, more heating, less possibilities of using public transportation. It would be interesting to see the stats. When Lambert was in charge remember the club put out a statement that we were an early-adopter of clubs going carbon-neutral. Between that and the backwards goal-kick, the mid-2010's at Villa were truly a wonderful place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2021 Tuanzebe gets the edge for me as he's naturally right sided - both Mings and Hause play on the left of central defence. I'd still go with Targett over Young too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted November 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2021 My wife, not (quite yet) a Villa fan, had a very specific dream about the match last night: Spoiler Game starts, Targett concedes an own goal in the 7th minute. Villa play like total shit for the rest of the half and can’t string 3 passes together. We go in 1-0 down at the break. At half time, a message from Smith is broadcast. He says that he needs the fans behind him because he’s going to be sacked if Villa lose the match, then he asks people to go on social media and vote for whether or not they want him to stay. Then it switches to a livestream from the dressing room, where Dean is holding a photo of Steve Bruce up to them and shouting “do you want this guy back? ‘cause if not you better start playing!” Villa come out for the second half on fire and win the match 1-6. This wasn’t part of it but I might as well continue on a theme and say Spoiler Targett with all 7 goals. Lump on. You can thank me later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hopefully it's Tuanzebe and Ming's CB pairing. Just think having both Hause and Mings would be awkward as both as left footers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
