Title: Your Team 11 and formation Vs Chelsea
Post by: Footy-Vill on August 30, 2021, 09:51:00 AM
With the absence of
GK Martinez Midfielder Buendia And the injured Mings and maybe others what are you thinking for the 11 to face Chelsea?
I would go 3 Centre backs and a solid midfield like a 3-5-2
Match up with Chelsea 3 at the back Wing back system

                            Steer
               Konsa Tuanzebe Hause
Cash/Young                          Targett/Young
        Nakamba Douglas   McGinn
                             Ings
                           Watkins

There's 12 days of training to crock another couple at least. I'm going for Young in central defence to replace Tuenzebe who's decided to play for the Congo. Buendia's come back with the new Theta variant of COVID that requires 2 months of quarantine. Watkins upfront after City activated Ing's release clause for 50m.

We'll be fine.

I'm playing the Dean " that's not the same 11 I had written down yesterday" Smith game (over the international period)

That team above Ads, looks the bollocks. Only if and a very big if, we sign that fella to dictate the game. No disrespect to Nekamba, if it’s him there it doesn’t quite look as good.

That's how I see it and they'll only get one as we let them score in the 58th minute out of our mutual respect for Sean Lock.

Btw.  Any idea when tickets go on sale for Chelsea away (league game)? The match is less than two weeks away and no details on the AVFC website as far as I can see.

Looking likely that mings; martinez and Buendia are only ones out. If that’s the case then I would go

Steer
Cash
Tueanzebe
Konsa
Targett
Traore
Mcginn
Luiz
Bailey
Watkins
Ings

4-4-2. 2-0 villa

Post by: Skerra on August 30, 2021, 06:13:20 PM
Of course, being Villa, I can see a couple more added to the injury list. Anything under 0-5 would probably be a good result. Remember, we don’t do half hearted injuries. Look at Shinsplints, moves away and miraculous recovery.
Title: Re: Your Team 11 and formation Vs Chelsea
Post by: Footy-Vill on August 31, 2021, 11:16:10 PM
If it's 4-4-2
Then i think we will have to narrow the available attacking space and with high pressing from the front , wide and our central two middle men it can be a case of disruption to Chelsea's play. Winning the ball back and have to be aggressive in attacks once in possession

And that could be the case moving forward in a 4-4-2
Watkins and Ings press from the front.

That's like a team McLeish might pick! One for Young to sit out anyway.

Might not be possible, but think he’ll really want Mings back for this. Must admit I’m totally confused now as to whether Bailey can play or not considering he’s flown off for Jamaica’s internationals. Do we know anything about Konsa’s injury?

Steer

Cash
Konsa
Mings

                 Steer
Cash      Konsa   Mings    Targett
    McGinn   Luiz    Ramsey
 Watkins      Ings     ElGhazi

I'd be tempted to start Bailey instead of Watkins or El Ghazi to be honest, but I feel ElGhazi deserves to keep the shirt for the way he played against Brentford and Smith will definitely play Watkins.

edit - just realised this is same as Rambo

Starting to think maybe FV is right, maybe we should match them up 3-4-3. Ollie and Bailey in the inside forward positions? Young at left wingback? I dunno, pretty sure we'd lose this literally whatever we did at this point, but it might be worth a shot.

A big no to Young being in midfield, but other than that hopefully spot on, I'd just pick Ramsey instead though. I'm not sure that Bailey will be be ready to start either, but if he is I'd play him.

Wouldn't Ramsey be back? Prefer him to Young in midfield, and Young to Targett at full back.

Wouldn't nakamba be playing if Smith asked him to stay? He'd be a bit pissed off if he's took one for the team and he still doesn't play.

I never know on these threads whether we’re trying to predict the  team, or to say what team we’d play.

Prediction: Young will start in midfield.

My team: midfield is Luiz, SJM and Ramsey. Bailey left, Traore right, Watkins up front. Ings to come on for Ramsey in a 10 role, directly for Watkins, or for one of the wide men with Watkins shifting wide as the game needs.

To me I very much like reading Villa supporters ideas and opinions or discussing what they would do Vs Chelsea (in this instance) I like most those who show some tactical accumen or considered thought on play and players.
Even if it's not a coaches forum im fascinated what people think about how to deal with Chelsea wing backs and maybe Villa match up similarly is something I've been thinking as our formation

I haven't got a clue who will and won't be available, so I'll go.

Friedel

Collins
Warnock

Downing
Milner
Petrov
A Young

Carew

Looks like our Captain will be ready. Suspended for the Poland match so hoping he comes back now early to prepare for Chelsea.

Also I'm reading Romelu Lukaku is suspended for the next Belgium game.
“I ll have a scan of my thigh first- I am struggling with a minor issue for a while. And then I will return to Chelsea.”

Be a great for Mings and Villa if don't have to deal Lukaku!

No chance Young starts in midfield again with McGinn, Luiz. Ramsey and Nakamba fit.

My feeling is that Bailey will start on the bench.

I think it will be...

Steer

Cash
Konsa
Mings
Young

Luiz
McGinn
Ramsey

Watkins
Ings
El Ghazi
