Reposting from a different thread:Starting to think, in answer to the Watkings question - maybe we start neither? Reckon Buendia could do that false 9 trick very well, giving Bailey someone to run off on the inside right and dragging centrebacks out of position.I know, I'm overthinking it etc. But the fact is that neither of the two main forwards' names on the teamsheet give me any confidence at 2pm UK time on any given Saturday.

Saturday 13 August Kick Off 12:30PMVilla Park So let's put opening day nightmare behind us and see how we line up and get our season up and running. Everton were also not too bright against Chelsea and have lot of players out, so on paper Villa should do them but that's what we said about Bournemouth.

is the train strike still on?
I just can't see us scoring with how we set up and with the strikers we have. 0-0 or 0-1I expect he will be stubborn and keep a similar team. Coutinho will start , he'll swap ings for Watkins and that's about it . Maybe put chambers in instead of Konsa unless Mings looks him in the eyes sometime this week and says those three words . What a farce
