choffer Posted 22 hours ago VT Supporter Share Posted 22 hours ago Probably the most excited I’ve been about a game in a long while. My first home game in almost a decade. Hope we’re not dog dirt. (I’m a glory hunter, I know). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Felt we conserved quite a lot of energy last night and with a fully fit squad now I’m confident we’ll be fresh enough to win this game. The only concern right now is Bailey and Ramsey not performing to the required standard (particularly Bailey). If he starts I hope he scores because I think a confidence boost will help him get better, although he probably doesn’t deserve to start currently. Can’t underestimate Bournemouth though who are a decent side and just beat Arsenal. But being at home and with the quality we have throughout the squad now, it will be disappointing if we drop points. If we can win then 20 points from our opening 9 games ahead of a tough run of games in November. I’d have taken that in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I think for this I would go: Emi Cash Konsa Pau Digne McGinn Onana Tielemans Ramsey Rogers Watkins Bailey, Barkley, Kamara, Duran and Maatsen off the bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago I thought Bournemouth would give us huge issues last season three days after all we put in to beat Lille on penalties. They played well for first half hour, went 1 up but afterwards we completely dominated and eased to victory. Given we played Bologna in second gear after being 2-0 up and rested 3/4 regulars it's hard to see anything but a comfortable win. They have lost 1-0 at Leicester and were terrible at Everton for pretty much all the game before somehow turning it around to win so their pressing style works better on the South Coast. Think we can win this 2-0 aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give Bailey a couple of matches to come on as a sub (when we're winning) to try to build back the confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) And again.. This won't be easy. But if we want top 4 again it's a game we need to be winning Edited 20 hours ago by Pongo Waring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDR V2 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago As long as we are on it and don't have the same reaction as Man U we will be ok here. I don't feel the same as I did after Bayern so hopefully the players don't either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted 18 hours ago Moderator Share Posted 18 hours ago At this stage I wouldn't be surprised if Rogers gets a rest. We can't expect him to keep doing what he's doing to that level without a break, and he is due. Maybe Buendia to get a league start finally. Fingers crossed Onana stays alright. I can see this being another case of 'after the Lord Mayor's show', and us struggling more than we should on paper, like we did against Wolves until late on and against United after the other 2 CL games. Bournemouth showed Arsenal they're not to be trifled with. This is a big banana skin. But I'll say 3-1 Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate you’re being slightly tongue in cheek, but if you were subjecting yourself with going to Villa around 2014/2015, then you are definitely not a glory hunter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Martinez Cash Carlos Pau Digne Onana - Tielemans McGinn Rogers Ramsey Watkins Rogers and Tielemans will need a rest some time, but I don't think it will be now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted 3 hours ago VT Supporter Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I don't think this will be our lineup, but I'd like to see Bailey and Ramsey start, for sure, with Duran, McGinn, Jaden, Konsa, and Barkley subbed on. Of course if Bailey or Onana are injured, that's another matter. An alternative would be starting with McGinn instead of Rogers to rest Rogers.

I think Emi will wear a green shirt and shorts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
