We go again. Games coming thick and fast. Back to Villa Park for the 2nd leg of tie that’s over. Hoping to see a few of the squad get a run out. Expect starts for Tielemans, Zaniolo, Bailey, Chambers maybe even Bert. Olsen to continue in goal. I’ll go 3-0.

2-0 to the Villa, Feeney and Kellyman with the goals.

Professional performance of keep ball.
Many first teamers rested - Dougie Watkins Diaby Digne (assuming we keep him) Konsa/Cash

Ah yeh, that’s right.

For a game in which we'll kick-off already 5-0 up, there are currently a grand total of 21 seats available. Imagination captured.

I think this the game to give Aaron Ramsey, Cam Archer and Jaden Philogen some much needed minutes

0-2.
-
First goal is crucial.
-
I think I posted twice before the season started about how we could basically field 2 completely different starting 11s between matches, but unfortunately I don't think that's the case anymore.
We should still probably be resting some players with the subs from the last few games starting. The likes of Tielemans, Duran, maybe even Traore starting. Can we change much in defence at the moment? Maybe give Chambers a run out. I thought Kellyman looked good in preseason, he's scored a few for the U21s too, why not give him a go. If we don't want to end up with another bunch of 22 year olds we have to sell, this game seems like the perfect time to blood someone.

Flinstone will be wondering why it’s not a sell out.

Completely new outfield line up for me. Whether that will be enough to win the match on the night I don't know but it will be enough to win the tie I'm sure.

Pacing the floor in his cave!
They’ve sacked Lee Johnson, with a potential reaction to that and us potentially making lots of changes, I think a bitty but ultimately comfortable 2-0 (Tielemans, Duran).

I buy the damn tickets if I have to and flog them to Hibernian fans
-
1-1
-
Annoyingly, being so good in the first leg appears to mean we won’t be on BBC Scotland this week. 😐
-
Is Zaniolo available for this? I don’t know the registration rules.
If so, I’d start Bailey Zaniolo and Durán
Tielemans should get a start. Maybe Chambers in.
Should be a straight forward win. 3-0.

Zaniolo isn't available until the group stage.
Personally I'd be looking at getting 3-4 kids a bit of a run out, either starting or at least coming on from the bench, it's not often you can give them a chance with so little pressure on the result.

Be nice to rest a few players with Liverpool up next. I guess Dendonker won't be ready for this but would be good to get him some minutes. Perhaps start with some of the kids and take them off after 65 minutes. Revan, Kellyman to start, keep with Olsen. Rest Kamara and McGinn, to important to risk. Duran in for Ollie and give him the full game.

It's a disgrace that we haven't full sold out within the first 5 minutes of tickets being put on sale. It's our first time in Europe for years and there are still seats available.
-
a few of the key players need resting ready for Sunday , i'd leave out Martinez Diego Luiz Kamara Watkins Diaby McGinn Digne

I would like a statement from the Club on the inability to sell out so far.

So you are predicting we'll win the tie Leeg, is this the first time you've predicted a Villa 'win'? :)
-
It will be nice to see a few of the fringe players and youngsters getting a game. Would expect to see most of Olsen, Donk, Duran, Chambers, Tielemens, Traore, Kellyman to start. Maybe even the likes of Revan, and one of the U21 forwards on the bench. The team will still have four or five proper first-teamers in the side, mainly as we don't have the fit players available to do anything else!
A much closer game, them playing for pride under a new manager, maybe the odd goal in it.
-
0-2.

Tried to sell my ticket through the official resale scheme, only want £1 for it,no bloody takers, I can't go because it clashes with Emmerdale
-
Hopefully we will get to see a few of the academy players like Kellyman, Young, Wilson & Feeney.
This is the perfect opportunity to give them at least 45 mins game time to assess where they are for a potential loan deal.

0-2.

Well Mo can certainly spin around to replicate what McGinn offers but I think you need to find room for Woakes to swing it in from out wide as well.

A rekindling of Donk and Olsen partnership for a cup tie could be quite devastating.

Douglas Luiz

Kellyman
Young

Bailey instead of Young for me but I agree otherwise. and I'd get Donk on for as much of the 2nd half as he can manage to give Doug a rest. From there if we can rest McGinn and Cash for 30mins I'd do that as well.
I'd keep Carlos and Pau together because they need to keep developing their partnership in there.
-
Emery will pick a fairly strong side , he will respect the opponents who will have new manager bounce plus they are bringing thousands of fans down. I'm up for another 5-0 it will be good for momentum.

Yeah, thats my thinking regarding the CB pairing too.
And agreed on Dendoncker. If he's fit enough, then maybe he gets a start for Douglas Luiz.
Gotta have Josh Feeney, Kerr Smith & Rory Wilson on the bench too. Give each of them 15-20 mins at the end of the game. They are young, but if we are looking at developing top talent earlier, then this game is perfect for them.
Maybe even give Ben Broggio a bit of match day experience instead of a third keeper. He's nowhere near ready to play first team football, but to be in & around the match day squad will help prepare him for it when he is old enough. If he gets there, obviously.
Might be a bit of overkill in academy players, but this tie is over, so its the perfect opportunity for a little extra development early on in their careers, before we send them out on loan.

Probably (I think Bev Bevan as well).
However, given that Moeen is on the list, I think this is people from Birmingham rather than Villa supporters.

With our current injury list picking a "2nd" team is not as easy as forst thought.
Is the Donk actually alive? If so you would think he needs minutes.
Olsen - or even the next in line
Cash - as i dont think he will start vs 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'
Carlos - Change at HT for Feeney
Torres - Change at HT for Chambers
Bevan
Donk
Tielemans

Mcginn - Change for O'Reilly

Olsen

Digne (Moreno's back soonish so don't think he needs to be rotated right now)
Donk
Traore
Tielemans
SJM
Bailey
Watkins
Bring on a few kids - thinking the likes of Tim Iroegbunam or Duran who are relatively close to the first team rather than random ones like Feeney - in the second half if we've properly killed the game off, but I'd be challenging the team to get a double-figure aggregrate score, with no goals conceded.

Not sure Iroegbunam is fit.
If he is, he would be in ahead of Dendoncker in my team...

Back in the 1970s my mum (mom) entered and won a competition in the Evening Mail, the prize for which was a box set of three ELO albums (On the Third Day, Eldorado and Face the Music). One of the questions concerned the footballing allegiances of Bev Bevan and Jeff Lynne. It was a great prize, I still play the albums today.
-
Great headline from B’ham Mail again…”Hibs match TV situation addressed”. Then read the article only to be told that no one is broadcasting it as it stands at the moment!!

Has BBC Scotland given up on them

The Hearts game is finely balanced, ours is over. I'm not surprised no one is showing it.

They're showing the Aberdeen game, which is fair enough as it's Europa League and finely balanced.

Hopefully there'll be a live feed somewhere or other.
-
Not the most mouthwatering fixture given last week, the interest will come from Hibernians approach and a chance for us to see some fringe players. And Olsen.
2-0

I think Emery will start with a strong XI and when we go 2-0 up he'll ring the changes to rest some of our key players for Liverpool on Sunday.

You'll also need to attend a police station for the duration of the game, and be sure to bring your papers.

The fact it is geolocked suggests there will probably be some foreign broadcaster showing it which means you’ll probably find a stream.
Or a “small river” as some posters on here refer to them in the remarkable belief that any legal firm investigating the sharing of streams online will not manage to work out said coded language.

What's the bloody point in buying him if he can't play this week
-
Why can’t Zaniolo play is fast becoming why didn’t Barry take the penalty.
-
It is a shame he can't play though. It would have been the perfect situation to give him a longer run out and get him gelling with some of the other players. Basically a preseason friendly.

A rare Donk sighting

Kellyman also seems to be training with the first team so a good chance he'll feature tonight?
-

Think that's what Walnuts was going with, alright...
-
I imagine we will see Donk and Youri in double pivot, Chambers somewhere and maybe big Jhon and Leon up front.
-
Thankfully it’s on my usual watery type thing on PADL4

I think it'll be something close to this. Easily enough to beat them lot.
-
strong team please then make changes at HT and on 60 mins etc
-
Why do we need a strong team leading 5-0? If you’re advocating making changes at 60 min to a strong team then why not make those same changes leading at HT of the tie leading 5-0?
-
Olsen
Chambers
Carlos
Torres
Digne
Donk
Tielemans
Bailey
Traore
Diaby
Duran
More than enough there to go through as Sunday is far more important.
-
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kellyman start and maybe 1 or 2 outfield youngsters on the bench but I don’t take Emery as the type who will fill the match day squad with young players.
-
Also how many young players do we actually have at the moment that would be near starting with the first team? Feels like we cleared most of them out. Kellyman is, I think, the only one left who was on the US trip. He was in training with the first team this week. And was it Feeney was with them last week and on the bench for Burnley?
I mean, if there was ever a game to do it, this would be it.
-
Funny one tonight - as long a we don't lose I don't really care and it should be treated as a glorified friendly
-
Even if we lose we're still through unless they do a 0-6 funeralling.
-
I think the team below is enough to get a win.
I would keep the pairing of Carlos and Torres, only because they probably need more game time together. Other than that, why take the risk with injuries playing a strong side?
Olsen
Chambers
Carlos
Torres
Revan
Tielmanns
Dendoncker
Kellyman
Bailey
Trahore
Duran

just caught a train down from Glasgow but had to jump onto the Edinburgh train at Preston to finish the journey home. Full of green tops.

Agreed, certainly enough to go through. Prefer to rest as many of the first choice player as possible for Sunday.
-
The "match pack" on the official site says under "team news" that Emery may look to rotate his lineup "with Nicolo Zaniolo among those pushing for minutes after a strong debut at Burnley". 😬
It mentions Martinez as having missed the weekend but doesn't say whether he's fit now or not.

Omari Kellyman. Kadan Young. Josh Feeney. Kerr Smith. Rory Wilson.
All good enough to face Hibernian for at least 45 mins.

I'd go with Patterson before Smith but otherwise I'd agree all of those could be worth looking at.
-
I don't think he'll go major changes. Just a few breathers here and there and maybe 45 minute run outs for a couple (McGinn, Konsa, Kamara). I can't see youngsters being on the field en masse until the second half and it's definitely not going tits up
Olsen
Konsa
Chambers
Torres
Revan (even this I'm not convinced he'll do)
Tielemans
Kamara
McGinn
Bailey
Traore
Duran
Subs: Marschall, Zych, Carlos, Cash, Digne, Kamara, Diaby, Watkins, Kellyman, O'Reilly, Feeney

Everyone knows it's bollocks anyway.
The smallest club in the city always tries that.
Man City say it about Manchester. West Ham say it about London. No doubt Everton try it with Liverpool.
Nobody actually believes it other than themselves.
-
I think Bully touches on a good point there but without actually highlighting it, you can have a bigger bench for this (12 I think) so it's pretty easy to load it with first teams and kids and respond accordingly during the game.

Yep. And we're obliged to pick two keepers on the bench so we don't need to moan about that tonight.
-
Do we have enough players left to fill all allocated places?
-
Probably not. We didn't take loads to Edinburgh. And the U21s have a game tomorrow
-
Following Watkins interview in the week and his love of playing and wanting to score i assume he will definitely want to play.
-
Probably not. We didn't take loads to Edinburgh. And the U21s have a game tomorrow
Making players travel up to Edinburgh for no real reason is different to including in the squad for a home game though and I don't think it would be a massive problems to give some of the kids 20-30mins tonight even if it weakens the U21 team, they'll learn much more from being around the first team anyway.

I mean I know Blues fans are generally thick as mince but to have no idea why that might be the case is a low even for them.

Shit, I had forgotten about Patterson.
Good shout...
However, I think Smith is more than ready to face the likes of Hibernian cos he has already face Scottish Premiership teams about 10 times before he joined Villa from the age of 16.
I don't know exactly who he faced, but I know he played 10 times for Dundee United.

Bingo!! And that's why in their desperation to cling to that myth they make themselves look thick as shit.
-
Was there no press conference for this? Did we not bother because we’ve already funeralled them?
-
It's highly unlikely but not totally impossible that we mess this up and lose 6-5. I'd rather not have the embarrassment witnessed at Spurs, Chelsea and Everton this week where they had to bring on their big names because their 2nd string couldn't get the job done. I'd start as strong as possible, hopefully get another goal or two, then make changes at half time.
Tielemans and Bailey starting makes sense.

You're genuinely worried that a team with an interim manager can come in and bag six goals at VP?

You do know we are already 5-0 up!!? The teams mentioned were 1-0 down in fairly tight games.
-
Even if we lose we're still through unless they do a 0-6 funeralling.
Is that really necessary?

No. But its not impossible that a team with a new manager, playing for pride, against a team who could well be checked out of this tie already, could get a couple of goals early on, especially if we send out a bunch of kids, and Olsen, first half. And then things feel a bit uncomfortable and we have to bring on the bigger names to make sure we wrap it up. And like I said, that's embarrassing. I'd rather we sent out a decent 11 at the start, made 100% sure it's wrapped up, and then bring on kids, squad exiles, tea ladies, whoever.
-
You can tell we've all been damaged by the Villa over the years, when people are genuinely nervous about a 5 goal lead.
We need some Emery counselling (win a trophy), before we can move on i reckon.
-

It's an H&V thing bud.

Leeg is still mad about the 6-0 funeralling of Sunderland he missed out on.

It's not impossible a weakened Villa squad perform well and don't lose at all.
-
There is absolutely no chance there is any threat in this game - except the risk of the injury.
-
Emery won't mess about. He didn't get to be the man he is today by messing about. It'll be similar to the first leg and the Everton game, start strong, get business done, then rest some.
Not that any of them should need a rest, we've only played 4 games!

About 6ft, in fact.

AVTV
-
Would like to see a few youngsters and fringe players. Maybe Revan, Kellyman, Kadan Young and Durán.
Demdoncker if fit and Chambers and Bert.
-
I hope he plays as many youngsters as possible and doesn't risk anybody vaguely resembling a first team player, with the possible exception of the likes of Chambers and Traore who need match fitness and aren't likely to get many minutes outside of this competition.
I'd far rather lose 0-2 and have no injuries than win 3-0 and we lose a first teamer for Sunday.

I’d play Bailey left back. A lot of our play and creativity comes from that area so he’d likely spend most of the time in the final third rather than defending and a midfielder can shuffle across to cover.
-
I'm really hoping that when we see the name Olsen in goal on the team sheet that it's Jesper Olsen.

No mate I don't think that. But that's not to say I couldn't see us conceding a goal or two if Olsen is in goal and we have a completely new starting lineup. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that this starts badly.
Small chance but still...

Sorry, I've only just seen this.
So basically I said we shouldn't play too weakened a side, and we didn't play too weakened a side, and we won very comfortably. The end.
Hope that's understandable enough for you 👍
