Leeroy Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 If he’s out I’m gutted, huge part of our defence. Either Cash-Konsa-Carlos-Digne or Konsa-Carlos-Lenglet-Digne I’m guessing. So no Kamara for three games, Pau likely out, Traore out (not a regular but still useful for squad), Olsen out, and Buendia and Mings out long term. Tielemans maybe also out. That’s 7 players. We really haven’t been lucky with injuries. Liverpool and Arsenal have had more luck with injuries than us by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 3 CBs is more of a threat from set pieces which we may need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, this is exactly the reason he was brought in. Would be his turn to step in imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually watched the live stream and Emery was on there as well just sending a stream of heart emojis at all the updates and asking for fantasy football tips. Apparently at a club level Villa think Dougie looks so convincing as a tech bro/hipster hybrid media spokesman they are just having him do all the announcements from now on after the Chris Heck video got panned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I'd be really really susprised if Pau isn't fit enough for the bench tonight but is suddenly fit enough for United in a few days. Best chance we see him for Burnley at the earliest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Emi, Pau, Boubs, Doug and Ollie are our most important players. They’re all irreplaceable with our current squad. We were obviously missing two tonight and it really showed. Hopefully Pau will be back for Manure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Bloody hell, he is vital. Lenglet was fine really but didn't fill me with even the slightest bit of confidence and composure like Torres does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Any idea what the actual plan was of lugging him up the M6 to not use him at any point tonight? I thought he'd be on at 1-2? No. 2-2 certainly just as a calm head to try to get control. Nada. Strange when he's only been out for a week or so. Was the plan just to put him on if we were 2-0 up in last ten minutes, I'd have just left him at home as feels a complete waste given how the game just slipped from our grasp and we kept on getting caught with the ball. We desperately needed control in key areas of the pitch and he's stepped up so well in that role after the dodgy first 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Emery quite often seems to put players in the squad even if they're not fully fit, I guess when you've got two keepers on the bench it means there's nobody else so he might as well come along for the shits and giggles.
