Aston Villa vs Fulham Pre-Match Thread

[Pete3206]

We should be angrily despatching these so naturally, a boring 1-1.

[Villa in Denmark]

It's a game a week now we are out the cups so plenty of rest anyway . No Need to rest Rogers .

Not sure I follow that logic. We could rest him for the next match in the hope we get more from him in the final three. He's still knackered.

I see how you've fucked up there. You put logic in a sentence replying to Cooper's.

Amateur mistake there Paulie.

[Paul.S]

Really?

There’s no reason why we shouldn’t go at the next 4 games full throttle.
Struggling to get up for this after Saturday’s capitulation but I’m sure the players will be at it. Win and it’s going to be European football again next season, 3 more wins after that and who knows?
We cannot allow this season the end on a low.

I think we will carry on with rope a dope though.

We’ve got some fresh players that should come in. Maatsen, Mings, Garcia, Ramsey and Onana should all start. There’s absolutely no reason we can’t go at them from the off.

The manager.

Luckily he’s a world class coach so I’ll back his judgement.

Yes, and he decides if we can “ go at them from the off “

Really? Well you live and learn.

Not having a go mate, just answering your posts, I also want to see us play more front foot football like we did against Newcastle.
Just pointing out that Emery seems to get stuck on the opposite to “ having a go at them”

Fair enough, apologies.

Garcia, Disasi, Mings, Maatsen
Barkley, Onana
Malen, McGinn Ramsey
Watkins

An eye to next season. We played really well v Forest for about 60mins when Emery made a load of changes. Shouldnt be afraid of doing so again.

A number of regulars stewing/resting on the bench.

Disasi and Mings, no thanks.

Is that so you can give everyone 1 or 2 out of 10 in your ratings?

Has Disasi ever done anything wrong for us playing at centre-half?

Id have included Konsa to make sure of that.

[Toronto Villa]

We will win and win well. Our confidence has been really shaken as fans. But I think the players will be very focused and get us back on track. 4 very winnable games left to get the job done.

Not sure he's got many chances. He was roasted at Palace but nearly everyone was absymal that night. Stick him in next to Mings and see what he's like in his best position.

I see no reason why we should be gambling on untried partnerships at this stage of the season with Champions League qualification still up for grabs.

[algy]

Big game for both clubs. Mustn’t underestimate Fulham in this - a win would put them in a very good position for the last 3 games of the season. Guess some of their fans might feel a tiny bit hopeful/optimistic if they were to win (LondonFranky?)

Absolute must win for us. Could genuinely see us dropping down to 8th if we were to lose, although in honesty I think it’s a game that if we have ambitions on playing Champions League football we really need to win, and win relatively comfortably.
