dayday 850 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Sunday October 18th 7.15 kick off. Obviously Villa will be up for this, and looking at there forum they are mostly a confident bunch. Hoping that Maddison and Praet are back, as we badly missed them last week. Link to post Share on other sites

Pliskin 1,895 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Really don’t know. The Liverpool game is one I’d imagine you can forget, because it was a real freak incident, of deflects goals and Liverpool just not bothering to turn up. But our defeat to west ham was a worry. Guess it boils down to who turns up on the day. Really can’t call it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TK95 1,865 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Think we'll do them. But it's a tricky game and Watkins will have a go at our backline Link to post Share on other sites
Royston. 1,789 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Villa will be flying and have a go at us but that will suit us. Cant imagine us playing as poorly as we did v west ham ever again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

KFS 2,827 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Think this one will be a classic bounce back to reality for both teams. We’ll be working hard to put last week right and in their elation, they’ll miss things and be overconfident. 2-1 Leicester for me. Link to post Share on other sites
KFS 2,827 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Oh and how good is it that this starts a long, busy fixture period for us now? Intl breaks are woeful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

goody2028 1,062 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October All depends which side of our team turns up. The West Ham side and it could end up being an embarrassment to a below average side that’s high on confidence. The Man City side and it should end up like it did in March as a 4-0 type score line. Big one this, tough to call. Link to post Share on other sites

Fightforever 700 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October (edited) Barnes Vardy Under Praet tielemans Mendy Thomas Fofana evans castange Schmeichel Would love a line up like that we need praet back in the team but I dont know if hes even fit. Edited 11 October by Fightforever Turns out soyuncu got injured for turkey 2 Link to post Share on other sites
StanSP 23,896 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Kasper Castagne - Evans - Soyuncu - Justin Mendy Praet/Maddison - Tielemans Under - Vardy - Barnes That's on the basis that everyone comes through unscathed from international duty. Given that Maddison hasn't played, he should be fit and hopefully fully recovered from injury that made him miss the West Ham game. I hope Praet is fully fit but given he's not played for Belgium I doubt he will be. I hope we don't go too defensive like the West Ham game. Poor start mentally on the back foot and against a side like Villa, who'll be confident, that just won't do. Now would be a good time for Under to start fresh. And the whole side actually to put the West Ham game behind them and get going again against Villa. They'll probably be on top of the world after the Liverpool game. Time to bring them crashing down! We looked really unfit against West Ham and we had a week's rest before that. Hope that's not the case against Villa especially given so many would have done a lot of travelling in the past week or so. A strong start is key. Link to post Share on other sites

They nullified us in the cup and us coming on to them if they play on the counter just plays into their hands. It would be madness if they come on to us, we struggle with the low block.

Pliskin 1,895 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Surely he swaps Justin and Castagne around. Timmy showed today he is quality on that LWB position, and we have an issue defending that far post, which Timmy with his height will help to resolve? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Grebfromgrebland 2,037 Posted 11 October Report Share Posted 11 October Dreading this one. Villa know how to beat us and probably will again unless Brendan changes it up. By that I mean don't go for the high possession camp around their box type of mentality. We did that against West ham and they punished us. Villa will want to do the same. We need to be a bit more savvy and maybe try and counter them or at least play differently. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As soon as he switches to the right they will target that position, you assess the opposition and target the perceived weak links. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
