Fenerbahçe v Aston Villa pre-match thread

[ChicagoLion]

Horrible fixture considering the Newcastle game on the Sunday. They are at home with an extra days rest. We have to get back from Istanbul Friday morning then prepare for St James’s Park Saturday.

Seeing as we sacrificed the Everton game, may as well do the same with Newcastle. Go as full strength as possible in Turkey. Win a trophy.

Still don't know if it's true or not

Haven't seen anything official but several posts on social media that Duran will be playing against us.

[Olneythelonely]

Townley has said it is true.

[JJ-AV]

Strong team IMO

Martinez
Lindelof, Konsa, Mings, Digne
Bogarde, Hemmings
Guessand, Buendia, Rogers
Watkins

Sancho in for Buendia if he's fit

Take Rogers off after an hour

[Drummond]

I have written to UEFA to complain that we haven't won AFCON AGAIN, and we will proceed to take ownership of Cambodia.

Can't we have Colombia?

A loss, over 2.5 and Duran scoring anytime is 4/1 if anyone wants some free money

This will be a spanking. Really hope we don’t start anyone crucial/important

Wouldn't be surprised if Duran lost his head, Mings winding him up. Might be worth a few quid for a red card.

               Bizot
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
    Lindelof    Tielemans
Rogers    Buendia      Sancho
             Watkins

[RamboandBruno]

No McGinn, Kamara, Onana, tough place to go, Duran and Asensio playing for them….like Han Solo say….I have a bad feeling about this!

Would take a draw all day long to be honest.

Martinez back spasm incoming? Bizot deserves a game but I'd nearly force Martinez to play and atone for his mistake at weekend.

               Bizot

They'll all be bollixed for Newcastle. Let the kids play in Türkiye.
