Aston Villa vs Burnley Pre-Match

[tomd2103]

He sounded very much as if he was going to continue with Lenglet.

Apart from.getting caught on.the ball.at Old Trafford which led to.the corner for their third goal, he's done OK when he's been called upon. 

Would just go with a familiar formation tomorrow and a team of:

Martinez, Cash. Konsa, Lenglet, Moreno, McGinn, Dendoncker. Luiz, Ramsey, Diaby and Watkins

That team would struggle to score a goal. It might work out to be an absolute blessing we only have 2 league matches next month.

Cash, poor
Lenglet, not Pau
Moreno, hit or miss
McGinn, needs a break
Denny, not Kamara
Ramsey, still looks injured
Diaby, poor
Watkins, doesn't do enough throughout

Odobert and Ramsey will have a field day against this fatigued squad. I fancy the first to score or assist and if Kompany brings on the latter after 50 minutes it's going to be a bad time. They'll want it more.

So, remind me again where Burnley  are in the League?

One above Sheffield Utd.

Lightening doesn’t strike twice…..etc etc

Last time we did the League double over Burnley was in 1925-26.

We beat them 10-0 at home that season, which would be nice.

Shows what a genius Emery is to have us third at the turn with all these poor players that will apparently struggle against one of the worst sides in the league.

Bailey needs to start today

I think we all did, just about 36 hours late.

[PaulWinch again]

I think this is tough - we have a number of key absences and our confidence will have taken a hit in the last two games. I think we need an early goal, and assuming he plays we need JJ to start picking up form.

It's the formation we've used at home for a lot of the games over that past year and haven't struggled to score.  I accept that some of them are out of form, but hope that this is the kind of game some can play themselves back into it. 

[VillaTim]

I really hope we don't play at a snails pace again like we did v SUFC.
Makes it too easy for these teams to set up and assemble their shape.
We need to be quicker and also mix it up a bit today.

I’m assuming you haven’t heard much about Burnley? They will not be sitting with a low block.

[Axl Rose]

Burnley play decent football these days, and it'll suit us.

Win Villa.
