Signing 2 players unlikely then you feel?

 

Not unlikely but I think unnecessary

Cork is a completely reliable and good Midfielder - who appears to be content enough to be rotated if necessary

I've seen a lot of people saying Tadic is out...is that confirmed anywhere? I have literally seen no official sources stating it.

 

Not confirmed he is out. Was a Serbian report saying he had a minor knock to his knee and was excused from their second game which was a friendly and had come back here for treatment.

Damn. Just realised the Villa game's a Monday nighter. That's 4 am for me. Looks like I'm waiting yet another week of waiting to see Saints play. :(

I wish this would sell out so the decision of whether to spend £41 on a ticket is taken out of my hands.

 

It's too much, but I still feel guilty for not going.

Didn't realise that Villa are potentially without Benteke, Delph, Baker, Vlaar, Senderos, Hutton

 

That's 6 first team players out. One of their CB's will be Okore, who hasn't ever played for them I don't think. But he was always highly rated..

It won't sell out.

From a Villa forum... There not very hopeful over there...

I'm glad I won't be able to watch this game as it's on at 3 in the morning over here, I definitely won't be staying up to watch us get humiliated by the mighty Saints.

 

3-0 to them.

Continuing with the good news theme (IMO), Hutton is expected to be fit. Mané could take him to the cleaners - if he stays wide.

Hutton has been in good form this season to be fair.

 

Not in the games I've seen. Positionally weak, slow to get back, and quick to foul in dangerous places. My (Villa nut) mate can't stand watching him.

 

I hope my Hutton plays and not yours. ;)

That sounds like his good form;)

So, Villa will be celebrating their 140th anniversary in the build up before the game, with a parade of past stars etc.

 

A distraction or a morale booster for them I wonder....?

From Villatalk

 

Southampton have also got a bit of an injury crisis for this one, they're down to the bares bones.

 

Where the hell did they get that idea or am I missing something?

 

PL Fantasy Football has Tadic, Davis and Schneiderlin as injured (75% likely to play) is all I can think of

Koeman: "Steven Davis doubtful for Monday (definitely wouldn't play if game was tomorrow). Hope Morgan will be fit for Monday but not fit enough to train today"

 

Komena refused to discuss Cork or Clyne contract situations in any detail, although he elaborated more on wanting Clyne to re-sign than he did about Cork.

 

On JRod: "Difficult so say when he'll be ready. Will only come back when he's 100% fit. Won't be hurried. Maybe January, maybe February"

 

Koeman: "Any rumours of getting Lambert back on loan are untrue."

 

On Tadic: "He's fit. Did a normal training session today. Will play on Monday"

 

On JWP: "He's doing well. Will hopefully be back in around 3 weeks, but again, won't be rushed back"

Are there rumours of Lambert coming back? Must have missed that.

 

Was in response to a loaded question by the journo. Maybe he didn't use the word "rumour". Just me paraphrasing but was brushed aside with Dutch aplomb anyway :)

Really wish I knew why the club don't seem to rate Cork don't think the lad has ever let us down.

So will it be a midfield of Jack,victor and Harrison Reed Monday night?

 

Koeman didn't rule out Davis or Schneiderlin being available but I guess those 3 would be the likeliest line up if Morgan and Davis fail to make it.

I think he is rated.. but maybe he's seen as blocking Ward-Prowse and/or Reed so he will be sold on that basis. he's better than both as the moment so I would hope his contract is extended.

From that press conference, I reckon we'll line up as follows:

 

Forster

Clyne Fonte Alderweireld Bertrand

Cork Wanyama Schneiderlin

Mane Pelle Tadic

 

Subs: Davis, Gardos, Yoshida, Reed, Long, Mayuka, McQueen

 

Feels light in midfield with Davis unlikely to play, JWP already out, and Schneiderlin a slight doubt. I suppose Alderweireld can step up in there if required. The sooner we get JWP back, the better.

Ronald is a truly impressive character - so much to admire and be grateful for - and his command of English has improved no end.

 

I get the feeling he`s enjoying it here.

Well if Morgan and Steven aren't 100% I'd rather they sat out Villa (who by all accounts have a 1st team decimated by injuries) and be fully fit for the three games after. Plus I'd quite like to see Reed given a full run out.

Yeah we have really missed JWP

On holiday in New Zealand. Game will be 9am Tuesday here. Big challenge will be finding a TV showing it, and then convincing my honeymooning bride to let me watch it
