Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Trez and Hourihane again, hope it pays off..

I hope Traore comes on when Bryan's legs are gone.

There isn't really a viable alternative to Hourihane at the moment though.

Starting with Trezeguet instead of Traore? Can't agree with that.

A challenge to Trez?
Can you justify your place.

[jwarry]

Would've liked Traore to start as feels like it will be 60 minutes of Trez just running into the full back and the ball out of play. No El Ghazi on bench is interesting considering he scored the other night. No issue with the other 10.

Yes no AEG is a surprise, or a sign the squad is getting stronger ?!?

[Drummond]

I think that lineup is fair and right.

We'll see Traore and Davis come on and hopefully Ramsey will get a shot too.

[Monty]

There's something there vaguely approaching strength on the bench. I also wonder at what point this season Ramsey will be in the team ahead of Hourihane.

With Grealish back in midfield?

Me too.  We won the last league game, so I suppose it's fair enough.  Trez is better than El Ghazi, and now knows he can't afford any shit games, which is great for us.

A better bench. No Taylor or AEG.

[Mister E]

Any team with a 'Ream' and an areola in it deserves - well ...

[Villa Lew]

Would've started with Traore, but at least that's not a bad bench.

[PaulTheVillan]

I hope this means El Ghazi is off

[Risso]

We might live to regret voting against the increased number of subs on the bench!

No chance! Not for a couple of years anyway.

[Drummond]

I suspect we'll see a direct swap and then Traore will keep his place thereafter.

Was thinking the same thing!

[jwarry]

I feel strangely confident which can only end one way 🙄
