Stepgar Posted 23 October, 2015 Posted 23 October, 2015 Didnt see thread on this so thought what the heck its only next Wednesday. Just booked my tickets - if you want more than one you are gonna find it very hard indeed. I had to the family section. This could well be a sell out. Anywho: I would go with Gazza Cedric Yoshi Caulker Targett Ward-Prowse Wanyama Classie Tadic Seager Gaston (no. 10 role) Something like that anyway.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 October, 2015 Posted 23 October, 2015 Will be much stronger than that lineup. Would bloody hope so anyway. Shame that perhaps Jay Rod will miss out though.

bjk Posted 23 October, 2015 Posted 23 October, 2015 Think Ron will go with the strongest possible line up,he says he wants silverware this season, guess we'll see how serious he is with the team selection.
jawillwill Posted 23 October, 2015 Posted 23 October, 2015 It's tradition, and common sense, to have build up threads for the next game only.
eelpie Posted 23 October, 2015 Posted 23 October, 2015 It's tradition, and common sense, to have build up threads for the next game only. Well, this is the next cup game

The Cat Posted 23 October, 2015 Posted 23 October, 2015 Why on earth would you do that? He must have been on the weed. Considering we put out a very strong side at MK Dons I can't see anything different this time around.

Anywho: I would go with Gazza Cedric Yoshi Caulker Targett Ward-Prowse Wanyama Classie Tadic Seager Gaston (no. 10 role) Something like that anyway. Probably nothing like that. Koeman, like last season, will try and win the Capital One Cup. Doesn't mean we will, because we can still play sh ite as we did at Bramall Lane but he won't be picking that team at home versus Villa.
The9 Posted 23 October, 2015 Posted 23 October, 2015 As mentioned on the Liverpool thread, it'll be interesting to see how Koeman deals with the different priorities and demands of Liverpool, Villa and then Bournemouth on the following Sunday. We're going for it in the cups, so I'm expecting: --------Stekelenburg Cedric, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand -------Wanyama Clasie Ward-Prowse Davis Rodriguez ---------------Pelle Assuming we start with Romeu instead of Clasie, Tadic for Rodriguez and Mane for Ward-Prowse at Anfield. Depending on performance, result, recovery rates and injuries we can then decide if we want to try Wanyama-Clasie again against Bournemouth, when I could possibly see Rodriguez getting another start (though no reason to rotate Tadic/Mane/Davis at the moment against Bournemouth with a 6 day recovery before the Sunderland game - also, if Rodriguez was going to start against Bournemouth, one of Mane or Tadic wouldn't be rested against Villa - so maybe Rodriguez only plays against Bournemouth - I expect he's going to start at least one of them though).
suewhistle Posted 24 October, 2015 Posted 24 October, 2015 Bit worrying Koeman's talk about JR's foot injury/pain, so they may be managing that quite carefully which will have an impact on his appearance time.
Coxford_lou Posted 24 October, 2015 Posted 24 October, 2015 Bit worrying Koeman's talk about JR's foot injury/pain, so they may be managing that quite carefully which will have an impact on his appearance time. Yes, I wonder what that's a consequence of. Too long away from running?
Matthew Le God Posted 24 October, 2015 Posted 24 October, 2015 I would go with Gazza Cedric Yoshi Caulker Targett Ward-Prowse Wanyama Classie Tadic Seager Gaston (no. 10 role) Something like that anyway. We had a stronger team than that in the last round against a relegation threatened Championship team. Koeman clearly wants to win a trophy and picking a side like you have suggested won't do that.
The9 Posted 24 October, 2015 Posted 24 October, 2015 Bit worrying Koeman's talk about JR's foot injury/pain, so they may be managing that quite carefully which will have an impact on his appearance time. With the added injury news that Long maybe coming back in time for Bournemouth and possibly even Villa, it might be him instead of Rodriguez getting a run out...
suewhistle Posted 24 October, 2015 Posted 24 October, 2015 Yes, I wonder what that's a consequence of. Too long away from running? Just the interconnected nature of the body, I reckon - you know, 'leg bone connected to the shin bone, shin bone connected to..'. The way he's been running it looks like he's compensating for something: had an out of kilter pelvic girdle once and ended up with achilles tendonitis.. But at least he's not paying for private physio like I was!

The way he's been running it looks like he's compensating for something: had an out of kilter pelvic girdle once and ended up with achilles tendonitis.. But at least he's not paying for private physio like I was! After playing with no smooth cartilage on the back of my knee for 13 years, my physio discovered I didn't use some of my thigh muscles when walking, so that I didn't get pain through the middle of my knee. Had to exercise them for weeks to build them back up and recondition my brain to accept the pain threshold and rebuild the muscle around it. I also had numerous hamstring injuries after my knee problem which I didn't get at all before it. It's perfectly possible the reconfiguration of his muscles and actually playing after so long is putting different stresses on his feet - or it could even just be related to normal body changes with age.

Batman Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Sherwood fired then. they wont have a new manager in by weds
Saint Charlie Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 they wont have a new manager in by weds Probably not, no. Kevin MacDonald will be in charge for that. Will be interesting what team they select. With Sherwood they would surely have gone strong as he couldn't afford another loss. Now they may just prioritise the league game next weekend.
lickierambert Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Hopefully they won't have a new manager to try and impress
SNSUN Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Villa should hold off on appointing a manager for now, after all Mourinho might soon be available! :-)

CB Fry Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Remi Garde massive favourite to be next Villa manager "Villa fans demand changing of the Garde" Daily Mirror, November 2016.
Saint Charlie Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Would be nice to see Ramirez and Juanmi start.

markr27 Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 It could end up being something like this perhaps? Stek Yoshida, Fonte Caulker Targett Romeu Ward Prowse Juanmi Ramirez Rodriguez Pelle** *Depends on his back playing twice in 4 days. **Who else is there that is fit?

With the Rodriguez/Long injuries and Mane's suspension we're going to have to rely on Pelle playing again unless we pick one of the U21s. Gaston's played himself into contention, but I think Juanmi for Rodriguez from my original choice seems most likely. --------Stekelenburg Cedric, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand -------Wanyama Clasie Ward-Prowse Davis Juanmi ---------------Pelle
Saint Charlie Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Koeman said Jay and Long both out of this one but hopefully back for Bmth.
david in sweden Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Will Mane's red card rule him out of Villa game? ....if so he'll be back for Bournemouth. With Shane Long still out and Jay Rod with " a foot problem" .....will we see Ryan Seager get a full game at last ? Expect to see Targett, Yoshida or Caulker at some stage, but RK might also give Juanmi some game time and see how he cuts it.
Saint Garrett Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 -------Steklenberg Cedric Fonte Yoshida Bertrand ----Wanyama-Clasie----------- Gaston--Juanmi------JWP -----------Pelle--------------
benjii Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 I reckon Targett might come in and obviously Mane will need replacing but other than that, we should pick the best team we can. -------------------------Stek------------------------------- Cedric---------Fonte--Virgil--------------Targett -------------Wanyama----Clasie/JWP-------------- Gaston-------Juanmi/Davis-----------------Tadic -------------------------Pelle-----------------------------
Fabrice29 Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Stek Yoshida Fonte VVD Targett Wanyama Clasie JWP Juanmi Tadic Pelle
Saint Charlie Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Wanyama has been struggling with some kind of ankle knock. Would give Romeu this game with Clasie.
VectisSaint Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Stek Yoshida Fonte VVD Targett Wanyama Clasie JWP Juanmi Tadic Pelle Have a suspicion that Targett is not fit/available, no sign of him in training. I don't expect any major changes to today's team, obviously Mane will not be playing, and Vic must be a doubt with the knocks he took today. Expect to see Seager play some part. I would go to start: Stek, Cedric, Jose, VVD, Bertrand, Romeu, Clasie, Davis, Ramirez, Tadic, Pelle with Caulker, Yoshida, Seager, Reed, JWP and Juanmi on the bench (and Davis or Gazza).

SaintTex Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 I would go with Gazza Cedric Yoshi Caulker Targett Ward-Prowse Wanyama Classie Tadic Seager Gaston (no. 10 role) Something like that anyway.put down the crack pipe. 01) Our League position is safe, we aren't going to get relegated. 02) our next League game is at home against a reeling Bournemouth, who also play this Wednesday. you put your strongest team out there, in my opinion. We are trying to win the Cup, right? Who are you saving them for? Bournemouth at home next Sunday? Why risk fielding a weak squad? -----------------Stek---------------- Soares--Fonte--Van Dijk--Bertrand ----------Romeu-----Clasie--------- ---Juanmi-------Davis------Tadic--- ----------------Pelle----------------- would be nice if Long or JRod were fit. I worry about goals. Presumably you would have JWP, Gaston, and Wanyama as your likely subs. I really don't want to see Yoshida out there again. Even when it is not directly his fault, as a team, we seem to falter when he is on the pitch.
Chris27687 Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Wouldn't be to surprised with the following - Stek Yoshida , Fonte , VVD , Targett Romeu Clasie Juanmi Davis Tadic/Ramirez Pelle Change the full backs as we can't afford to really lose either of them, keep the CBs the same to keep growing the partnership - give Clasie some game time with the other DM and then Juanmi in for Mane and possibly Ramirez in for tadic - probably would be a sub tho.
macca155 Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Koeman always has an eye on the squad so he'll make a few changes to keep players match fit. Wanyama will be rested and Mane is out. I doubt he'll make any other changes other than the usual Davis / JWP interchange. Classie and Bertrand need game time. I reckon Stek Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand Romeo JWP Classie Tadic Juanmi Pelle I'd prefer Gaston to Juanmi but he'll be off at Christmas so no point in investing time. Hopefully he'll get a good subs appearance though.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 I doubt Wanyama will be rested - he's the only midfielder we've got with any presence and is remotely hard to take on / bully. If he doesn't play we're usually ****ed.

Dig Dig Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 That's pretty close id say, I reckon we will see tadic rested too I'd be surprised if he was after being subbed on 60 odd minutes yesterday and with no Long or Rodriguez we're a bit light on replacements.
Donatello Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Devil's advocate, if we wanted to rest Pelle, and we're without Long and JRod, is there another system we can employ to enable us to rest Pelle? Is Juanmi 'striker' enough?

Is Juanmi 'striker' enough? I think we'd have to play Mane (suspended though) or Seager up there (or maybe both if it was a league game), both with dramatically different characteristics as players and would massively change the way we play. No long balls!
eelpie Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 I'd be surprised if he was after being subbed on 60 odd minutes yesterday and with no Long or Rodriguez we're a bit light on replacements. Gaston could be given more game time, after his good 10 minutes and assist yesterday.
fanimal Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Bit light up front are we not? Also, Cedric (looked like he had done rounds with Ali!) Vic, Davis and Tadic need a rest - maybe them on the bench in case it goes awry? Bertrand, Clasie and Ramirez.Juanmi should all start.
JRM Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 I think Villa will play a 'strong' first XI as they are not playing next weekend, instead they have Spurs away on Monday night. Games looks close to a sell out now online.
