Left back is going to be crucial for us in this match. Pau is a good defender but not a specialist full back. McGinn & Diaby may swap but it probably doesn’t matter too much. This is a strong starting lineup, the problem comes at 65/70 minutes when we start to sub players. We have defensive options but suddenly we are very dependent on JPB, Bailey or Coutinho for fresh legs up front. Would happily take a point and a solid performance. Hopefully this is just me being a cautious long suffering fan who has been repeatedly bitten when we get too optimistic UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted August 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2023 I see Eddie Hearn has become the new Lawro. Predicting a four nil whopping for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a damn shame. Seeing the "new" Buff Buendia power forward versus Newcastle in preseason was a sight to behold. Hopefully we'll see him back again in ... 2024? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newry_Villan Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hope we do them. Sky Sports actually had them in the list as title challengers with Chelsea and Spurs. Sky Sports jokers really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted August 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2023 So keen for the start of the season, shame about the 2am kickoff but it will not stop me. Going to watch my Maltidas hopefully meet you English in the semis and then a quick kip and ready for the season opener! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robtaylor200 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) The waiting is almost over, the new season has started Everyone predicts we will do very well this year We have all been Villa fans long enough to know how it will go. Give away a stupid goal in the first 15 mins, pull one back, then give away a penalty, pull it back again. Emi gets booked for time wasting and we should have could have won it My head says a point would be a good result, my heart says 4:1 to the the Villa Edited August 12, 2023 by Robtaylor200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
