Aston Villa (A) 6/3/21 Build-Up & Match Thread

[AndyWolves]

To be fair, I've taken him out too hoping it will prompt him to score

 

[Tredman]

Boly still on the bench

 

[The Weasel]

Not the team I would have picked...

 

[Jinky]

Urgh. More of the same then.

 

[Jack Regan]

Only 8 subs too, Otasowie taken out of the potential firing line.

 

[Tredman]

Suppose it’s the team we have been most successful with without Raul.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Boly must not be quite there then.

I'd take that line up if the intent is different. If we take it to them then bring it on. If its that passive boring shite we could have Salah, Firmino and Mane and still look rank.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Back to pre City. Hopefully not to first halves that make you want to slit your wrists.

 

[Tony Towner]

Disappointed that Boly isn't fit. Donck needs taking out of the firing line.

I thought a few wanted him shot?

 

[Pablowolf]

Well, that's an uninspiring lineup. Still, what do I know?

 

[Templeton Peck]

We've done ok with 343 albeit in a really uninspiring way and if Boly ain't ready we just can't do 4 at the back.

 

[Freddeno]

hmmm, ok...lets hope we are more positive at least and dont just park the bus this time

 

[Jinky]

My issue is, like others have said in previous games, we’re going to learn absolutely nothing with this starting 11. No one else is getting a look in - it’ll be the same tactics and intent - same game plan - same everything.

I'd have given Hoever a go at RCB.

 

[slink]

Team i expected if Boly wasn't fit but it's not the team i want to see. As always though i'll wait to see how we play before making a judgement, we know that team is more than capable.

I'm disappointed with the line up but you've no idea how we'll play and neither do I. And you're right we learn nothing from this XI.

Could be Soton 2nd half or Newcastle 1st half.

We all hope for the former.

 

[redvictor]

I'll wait until the end before giving a judgement. Team is how i thought it would be except for maybe Boly for Donk. Obviously he's not fit enough to start.
I hope we get at them from the off and keep it going for 90 mins. Come on you Wolves!

 

[Deano]

We really need to see Vitinha in his actual position at some point. Only 10 games left for that to happen after today.

Realistically 9. Nuno isn't about to throw him in for Liverpool.
