fez Posted 19 November, 2014 Share Posted 19 November, 2014 I've seen a lot of people saying Tadic is out...is that confirmed anywhere? I have literally seen no official sources stating it. Nor have I. Physioroom for what it's worth has him with a knock, back on Monday http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardc Posted 19 November, 2014 Share Posted 19 November, 2014 Someone else who we would sign in the summer, no doubt. I expect that someone else who we sign in the summer will be replacing Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardc Posted 19 November, 2014 Share Posted 19 November, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 19 November, 2014 Share Posted 19 November, 2014 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.

The Cat Posted 20 November, 2014 Share Posted 20 November, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 20 November, 2014 Share Posted 20 November, 2014 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

CanadaSaint Posted 20 November, 2014 Share Posted 20 November, 2014 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.

hasper57saint Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 A couple of 'Villans' who are neighbours don't give Villa much of a chance. One of them predicts a 3-0 loss and Lamberts job on the line if the score is higher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 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....?

trousers Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 (edited) 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" Edited 21 November, 2014 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintSteve Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 Really wish I knew why the club don't seem to rate Cork don't think the lad has ever let us down. 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.

Tom28 Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopper Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 No problem with Reed stepping in alongside Cork and Wanyama, he's more than good enough to play the odd game for us. Looks a real talent, and would be good for his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 November, 2014 Share Posted 21 November, 2014 Other options are Gardos at the back with Toby, Victor and (furtherst forward)Cork or maybe even Cork, Victor and Tadic with Mane and Long either side of Pelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
