I would have gone with Matasaan over Digne and Tammy over Watkins.   But what do I know

Just please win Villa

Post by: rob_bridge on February 27, 2026, 06:59:48 PM
Would have picked Tammy other than that probably right leaning line up. Need Buendianand especially Ollie to perfo

Barkley deserved a start, and I would like to have seen Watkins and Abrahams playing together

Post by: Toronto Villa on February 27, 2026, 07:05:15 PM
It would have been nice to see Emery try something a little different tonight and start Tammy. Even Tammy and Ollie.
Title: Re: Wolves vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Hookeysmith on February 27, 2026, 07:05:59 PM
Not sure how Buendia and Watkins can be justified to keep thier places as both have stunk the place out recently.

Conversely it's time they gave us a big performance. A must win game if ever there was one.

A decent performance would also not go amiss in readiness for an even bigger season defining game on Wed
Title: Re: Wolves vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: aj2k77 on February 27, 2026, 07:07:30 PM
The middle of the park needs to turn up for the fight too, Luiz and Onana. No one going missing tonight.
Title: Re: Wolves vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Jon Crofts on February 27, 2026, 07:08:36 PM
Emery really does have a blind spot with Watkins.
Title: Re: Wolves vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: SaddVillan on February 27, 2026, 07:08:56 PM
Tammy not starting?
Digne instead of Maatsen?

In Unai we trust.

Just make sure that trust isn't misplaced.

Start fast, pressure their midfield and back line and make them crumble.
Title: Re: Wolves vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: Bobby Boy on February 27, 2026, 07:09:19 PM
That team should be good enough to beat Wolves but I'm not sure how Digne gets a start as he's been a car crash recently.

Would also have started Abraham over Watkins but maybe Watkins can repay the faith that Unai is placing in him.

Need this one tonight. Come on boys!
Title: Re: Wolves vs Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: JUAN PABLO on February 27, 2026, 07:17:07 PM
Id have gone Tammy , Barkley and Maatsen as well but Im not paid millions to do it.

Come on Villa , we  need these 3 points .

This game could go down in history as The Albert Einstein - Unai Emery derby.

Pau - yay
Buendia - nay
Digne - are we sure?

Digne, definitely not. That's a strange call. Ollie over Tammy again is strange. But the key one is Torres is for Mings

That line-up is fine for me, Watkins and Buendia need to put in a performance to justify it though.
Title: Re: Wolves vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Watkins had better put in a major shift tonight. In Unai we trust but I don't know what Tammy must be thinking.

Tammy must be 100% Grant Holt in training. It's the only thing that makes sense other than Unai being stubborn, blackmailed, compromised or having some form of mental breakdown.

3-0 Villa

Post by: BoVillan esq on February 27, 2026, 07:40:39 PM
Come on Villa massive game, put the pressure on big games tomorrow and Sunday.

Would have rested Ollie and Buendia, Digne no chance at this point, all that said we will probably beat them 3-0 with goals from.......Watkins, Buendia and Digne.

Post by: Holte Antipode on February 27, 2026, 07:49:53 PM
Watkins always puts in a shift. His workrate is the main thing keeping him in the team.  But he’s not been clinical, and first touch decision-making often fails at critical moments.

Hoping Wolfs is the day to correct all that. If not, we have a decent looking bench, don’t wait until 70th minute to use them.

A rare 9am start here in Kiwi-land, the Sat morning bacon is a-sizzling... C’mon lads!

Right answer for me. Ollie afraid to even have a shot with his left early on.

Get Abraham and Barkley on now.  This is way too conservative against the worst PL side I’ve seen in a long time. They are shite . Utter Shite.  Go and win this fucking game FFS.

Again I think Emery has got it wrong, Watkins had an early chance that he fluffed but not a shot on target all fist half. Watkins and Buendia have to come off we are powder puff in attack.

Another half where we’ve produced barely anything from open play - this time against the worst team in the league. When we get into these niggly games it doesn’t help, focus on playing fucking better.
What, you mean apart from the 3 chances we fluffed. We've had some chances but the players have not taken them.

Doug’s was the one good chance from open play. That was good football that we haven’t repeated. The Watkins and Rogers ones were half chances at best. Also in the last 20 mins of the half we did nothing except get frustrated.

I never want to see Rogers playing centrally again because he doesn't make runs. Get Watkins, Digne and Buendia off for Maatsen, Barkley and Tammy immediately.

Bunch of pass-back merchants.

Really poor performance. You will never get a better chance to win a derby away from home against a team that is shit and petrified.

We have to go for the throat. Same old supsects not stepping up to the plate.

Let's face it lads if we dont win this we don't deserve Champions League football.

Stuart Pearce on Talksport about Sancho...he hides away from any kind of physical encounter even if he is 70:30 favourite and he is too happy to play within himself. He leaves you wantig so much more.

Absolutely nailed it.

Onana plays like his main objective is to avoid an injury. I'd get him off and put Lindelof on in his place. I'd get Buendia off and Barkley on. And give Rogers an absolute rocket.

I thought we controlled it for the first 25, then from 35 onwards they dragged us down and came into it more without posing us a single threat.
There just doesn’t seem much conviction in our forward play and like a lot I’d like to see Rogers out on the left where he’d likely get more space and can cut inside. We just need to up the tempo a few notches as their defence is very nervous.

I’d settle for a scrappy 0-1 win.

In fairness he’s done a lot of work trying to link play in the absence of much coming from midfield. That’s inherently higher risk.

We just have zero creative spark or confidence at the moment. Most players always look back. The one time we played with proper purpose we created a good chance, maybe we should try it. We don’t need 6 players basically defending most of the time.

Post by: Smithy on February 27, 2026, 09:07:43 PM
A very mediocre first half.  We're clearly struggling in the conditions, as our usual pass-it-around style is moving more slowly due to the pitch.  I think Ollie's chance from the Rogers pass was a 'poke' rather than shot because it slowed down so much on the grass when he was expecting it to come further across onto his left (that's how it looked on the replay). 

The number of times I've seen the spray coming up off the ball on our passes that look slow is ridiculous.  But it's not going to change, so we need to adapt.

We're the better side, and if we create another three or four half-decent chances, I think we'll nick one...
