Vitality Stadium, Premier League. 3rd December 2023 2:00 PM
Probably time that we had one of these.

A ticket, a ticket, my kingdom for a ticket...
0-2

Is it just me, but this game has a feel of the Notts Forest about it!!
Bournemouth on a bit of a roll at the moment, confident and will be no walkover. We need to come out the blocks fast, impose ourselves and piss on their parade.
1-2 to the Villa.
-
Yep think the Manager appointment is starting to take effect as they battered Sheff U apparently.
-
1-3 win for us, they have played better recently and are a very physical side but I think we have the quality to see us through this one.
-
Unaccustomed as we are to such an approach away from home, playing with purpose and on the front foot in the first 20 minutes wouldn’t go amiss. Do this and we win.

They are where they belong based on sporting merit. Just like Luton.
The day clubs we don't want these clubs playing in the Premier League because the grounds are small is the day we can all fuck off to Abu Dhabi FC or Jaudi Arabia and just let wallet size decide matters.
-
With the loss of Kamara tempered by the return of JJ, we are pretty much at full strength. The managers know each other and it reminds me of the games against the old Wolfs Manager in that it's far from straightforward and could even be a struggle. As ever, I keep underestimating Emery and I'm going to do it again here with confidence that he'll make me look the plum that I am.
1-1
-
He an interesting chap their manager, could be a junior Emery in the making. They didn't have the best start but I can absolutely see why they chopped an inexperienced, meat and potatoes manager like O'Neill for him.

I think Emery will hold Ramsey and Moreno in reserve. Maybe McGinn dropping centrally next to Luiz, Bailey on right and Tielemans on left. Don't think he trusts Tielemans as one of the 2 x 6s, definitely not Mcginns best position either but he did ok there a few times last season like away at West Ham.

tinpot owners who don't invest in the tinpot ground and deliver an away end of min 2500. Not for me Jeff they can fuck off back down the hole they came from and the owners who trouser the money (see Blackpool) can do one too
-
Think this will be a draw.
1-1
-
This’ll be tricky - their form has improved, it’s a piddley little ground. It’d be nice to keep a clean sheet and go from there.
-
I can see us winning 3-1.
-
Rare draw
1.1
-
Sunday away day, small ground, team struggling in the nether regions of the table but form on the up.
We will FTF into the French Channel while imposing our style and game plan, connecting with the fans and doing, seriously, in what we do.

Yeah, but you said the pitch is tight and it won't suit our game, which is patently not the case.

It's the first game of December, and a win could send us top of the league. Unlikely, but possible. I'm going for a 1-2 win. Another slow first half before dominating in the second.

It's the whole package . Stands close to the pitch, limited run off areas etc .
-
Is English your first language?
-
My God in heaven.
-
It's the whole package . Stands close to the pitch, limited run off areas etc .
The space around the pitch isn't significantly different to most premier league teams and the stands aren't any steeper or closer or anything else. It's just small. Have you ever actually been to the ground or is it too 'tinpot' for your sensibilities?
-
"Don't back down, double down" in action here
-
While I know it's a pain for away fans because of small allocations I love there being 'tinpot' clubs in the PL. If you only had the 20 'biggest' clubs in the division it would be pretty tedious. The fact that despite all the money there's still an element of meritocracy meaning clubs like Luton and Bournemouth are rightly in the PL and clubs like Leeds/Sheff Weds aren't is what the game needs.

If all match fit that is one hell of a line up
As they have some muscle and height up front i would actually put Carlos back in with Konsa out wide for set pieces etc
This is tricky but this is also unchartered territory for this squad and they continue to improve
I think if results do go our way and we actually end the weekend top of the prem, with Cite£ and Arsenal to come - there may be lots of drink taken :o
UTV

No way is Digne getting dropped
-
Watkins doubtful for the game .
I'd play Zaniolo in the false 9
-
I would go:
Martinez
Cash Konsa Torres Digne
SJM Luiz Tielemans Ramsey
Diaby Watkins
Please, please, please for the love of god Emery, do not fuck about with Cash wide right.
-
Watkins doubtful for the game .
Ah bugger, just noticed that on Twitter.
If he's in anyway not 100%, rest him and get him right for Man City. If he is out, I'd probably go 4-5-1 with Diaby up front, and Bailey/McGinn assisting him as appropriate.
-
What’s up with Watkins then (not on twitter)?
-
He's 50 / 50 according to Emery.
If he's out, then its a coin flip between Duran & Zaniolo...
Might be an idea to start with Zaniolo & if he's not doing the job by half time, bring on Duran...
-
What’s up with Watkins then (not on twitter)?
From BBC website on the manager pressers.
The big news coming out of Unai Emery's news conference - for Aston Villa fans and fantasy league players alike - is that Ollie Watkins is a doubt but "not completely unavailable" and will be assessed before Sunday's match at Bournemouth.
-
Only thing I saw about Ollie was that he was suffering some pain. I don't remember it mentioning where the pain was.
-
He's 50 / 50 according to Emery.
If he's out, then its a coin flip between Duran & Zaniolo...
Might be an idea to start with Zaniolo & if he's not doing the job by half time, bring on Duran...
I would reverse that and have Duran start. He showed some good movement and runs last night in the match. The other option is no direct number "9" and have JJ, Diaby and Bailey as a front three. They might not be able to hold the ball but can definitely run with it. This is mostly based on Zani maybe carrying a knock as well.
-
That's probably Watkins out til Jan knowing our luck with injuries

Good point about Zaniolos fitness.
Not 100% sure if he is 100%...

Thoughtful as ever.
they are though :D .
Quite right. The bloody cheek of these clubs with small grounds thinking they can be allowed to be part of our Premier extravaganza, it really does take the shine off. There are plenty of much bigger stadia in the championship which would improve our customer experience...Elland Road, The New Den, The Hawthorns, St Andrews .

honestly don't think Duran is ready for the big league (other than brief cameos)
-
I'd rather play Duran than risk a half fit Ollie as he won't give us what he usually does if he's not fit, and we risk him doing more damage and being out for longer. If you're going to rest a player rather than risk them a week where we play Bournemouth and Mostar seems about as good a chance as you'll have.

I'd either play Zaniolo as a false 9
or Diaby and push an extra midfielder in there - eg. Bailey

Duran has started less games and played a lot less minutes then Zani, yet he has 4 goals for us with two against prem opposition. I would state he is as ready for the big league as Zaniolo. Especially against Bournemouth where physicality might be needed.
-
I'm still waiting for Zaniolo to do something of merit. If Watkins isn't right, I'd start Duran.
-
If need be, Duran for me. He's looking lean, mean and goal hungry.
He knows he may not get many chances to play and will be desperate for a goal.
Cometh the moment, cometh the ...........
-
Watkins being out is a big problem.
-
Are there any pubs in Brum that will have the game on?
(Apologies if this has been asked a million times before)
-
Duran is the deputy so he's the one who would step in for me if Watkins is unavailable, and he's already had some minutes this week so I reckon he's oven ready.
-

None that would admit it if is not an actual televised game by Sky.
-
Says "muscle injury" for Watkins on the FPL site.
Will we ever have a full strength side this season? Although better to have it for the games after this one, I suppose.

I wasn't really thinking of Buendia and Mings, to be honest. Just that we've got Ramsey and Moreno back but Ollie is now out. I didn't expect to see Buendia or Mings again until next season, so it would be a bonus to get one of them back, even just for the last couple of months.

Sacred Heart might be worth trying

Tim, you’re being very optimistic thinking Watkins will be back in January. A Villa slight knock usually means it’s career ending!!
-
Duran over Zani.
-
I reckon he'll move things around a bit and play Diaby in the Watkins role.
-

yep quite possible
-
When Diaby signed it was said he could play anywhere across the front, so it would be good to give that a trial and see if he can.
The same was said for Zaniolo.
If we have to be without Watkins, trying out all other "striker" options before January is probably a good thing.
-
It's with a heavy heart , but i have just benched Watkins in my fantasy team.
-
If Watkins is out Emery may start with a front three of Duran with Bailey and Diaby either side.
Tough game this, would be a wounder not to go into the Man City game on the back of a win.
A close 2-0 us (Bailey, McGinn)
Martinez
Cash
Konsa
Torres
Digne
Luiz
Mcginn
Tilemans
Bailey
Duran
Diaby
-
There was always a chance Ollie would pick up an injury. He's carried the attack since August. I said back then that we were too light in numbers upfront. J Philogene-Bidace should've stayed after his promising USA tour, and he was reportedly let go for only £5m! We definitely need striker cover in January, along with RB cover.

Not one of them would be in the first team or perhaps even on the bench at the moment. I like them all, but none of them are currently at the level of what we have.

You’ve mentioned Duran several times on several threads, you don’t think much of him. I’m not sure Archer has done anything to prove he is a better bet.
I like Bidace too, but competing with Diaby and Bailey on his current form, naw.

We have options should Ollie not be fit. I quite like the idea of Diaby playing through the middle.

We really can not afford to concede the midfield.
So 2 out of the 3 of Diaby, Duran and Bailey.
I think it will be Bailey that misses out.
-
Selling off the kids - Jaden, Archer, A Ramsey, is the one thing I don't like about the Emery era
Jaden: I've seen mentioned it might have been one Emery did want to keep but the player wanted guaranteed playing time. But he is playing in the Championship against Championship level teams so that is something to be aware of.
Archer: Has had a lot more time on the pitch, yet has only scored the same amount of league goals as Duran, albeit with Championship level players around him.
A Ramsey: Even worse then Archer. Has suffered some injuries but struggling to even get starts in a poor midfield.
So whilst I would have preferred to keep them at the time, it is not like we have suffered with not having them here. And if selling them meant we freed up some FFP space to get other players in the summer AND in January, ultimately losing them has improved the team.

Replace Bailey with JJ in a more advanced position is my guess, then bring Bailey on in his super sub role.
-
These are a southern version of Burnley , physical battle ahead, solanke and Billing who is one dirty bastard will need watching . There may even be a case for Dendonker at some point in this one.
-
Dendocker is possibly a start in the pivot for me as Tielemans has struggled in that role when he's been played there.

Not for me I would rather McGinn drop into the Pivot and use one of or a combination of Zaniolo, Bailey, Ramsey. Under Uni, McGinn played that role well.
-
what we can't do is concede an early goal. We need to come out of the traps faster in these away games
-
Hopefully Watkins will be fit to start. Would be nice to start an away game on the front foot and get the first goal.
They’ve picked up after a crap start but I think we’ll have too much for them.
The first of 3 victories in the next 7 days…and if that comes to fruition, we’re in the title race!
1-2 AVFC
-
With Kamara missing I can easily see a back 3 of Torres, Carlos and Konsa with Luiz in front of them, JJ, SJM,Cash and Digne, and Tielemans, Duran and Diaby up top.
-
If Watkins is a doubt I’d start Zaniolo up top. Leaving us Bailey & Duran as impact subs as not sure Zaniolo has played a full 90 for us has he?
-

Not in the league he hasn't. 75 is the most he's played, and that was only twice. Not sure about the other competitions.

I think Emery will go with McGinn in the middle. It takes him from his best position though on the right. The Donk is a long way down the pecking order currently.

That's my thought too, just need to get the three points. A win would ease some of the pressure ahead of the two home games, meaning 2 defeats or a draw or two wouldn't be a disaster in terms of top 4/5.

psychologically it would . 2 draws would be just acceptable but ideally 4 points (or more)
-
This is why we need another striker. There is no like for like back up for Watkins.

Not convinced Emery fully trusts Duran yet so expecting either Bailey with Diaby through the middle or Zaniolo in for this one.

Frankie Boyle dropped a 'funny but a bit off maybe, in case there's a medical reason he speaks like that' joke about Kane before the Qatar world cup
"Harry Kane is already doing his best to promote gay rights ahead of Qatar by speaking like he's got three cocks in his mouth". Or something like that.
-
Going to be tough, especially if we don’t have Ollie. It’d be nice if we could get a couple of early goals and get control of it.

Clear indication then that he wants out, along with half the first team squad, and we will struggle to hold on to them if bids come in from big clubs.

Watkins is our top league scorer with 7 in 13 which is a fine return. However bear in mind that we have scored 31 this season so we really spread the fire power around.

Just seen Cash and Watkins in the Marriott hotel. Someone wanted Watkins to autograph a hat, but he said he had to rush as he was going to a meeting.
That's tomorrow's Meaning Evil headline sorted, "Ollie Watkins in fan snub shocker!!"

I kind of miss Saturday games.

Our modus operandi under Emery, certainly after European games on the Thursday, is that the analysis of the opposition for the next league game seems to happen on the morning of the match. I guess it keeps it fresh in the players heads.
