Aston Villa (A) - Sat 3rd Sept, 17:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Tough game, as they'll be right up for this and will probably try and kick us to bits. I'd go: Ederson, Cancelo, Gomez, Dias, Stones, Rodri, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland

 

[Rebelblue]

Why not try overload the game with ballers? Will we see this at some point this season?

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo

Rodri
Gundo
Bernie

Kdb
Haaland
Foden

Reckon we kill teams with this

Oh god, we’ve reached “do we play better without KdB” point already…

Mock away....but its worthy of debate as,despite his individual brilliance,there is plenty of evidence to suggest meat on those bones.

Yes,different formations and line ups according to task and need are essential.....but the best 11 argument is also a valid one.

As for Saturday....i hope he doesnt change a very effective winning team

Rico Lewis for Cancelo,and you'd have nailed it Wummy.

 

[M12Blue]

Ming couldn’t even handle Flash, so no way he’s handling Thor

 

[oldius]

5 games in 2 weeks, including 2 CL matches, before the international break.
I think we will make full use of substitutions along with some rotation.

Eddie
Cancelo Stones Dias Gomez
KDB Rodri Gundo
Alvarez Haaland Foden

I would expect Lewis to replace Cancelo
Walker for Stones
Bernardo for KDB
Palmer for Phil
Grealish for Gundo if fit.
Mahrez for Haaland.

Haaland doesn't need resting , he needs playing ! The guy just wants to play football and score goals, so let him do it .

 

[Pollocks OG]

I said before Bournemouth (great timing) I think he can get a hat trick in every game without playing that well.

He obviously won’t, but he could, because the other 10 players create enough chances for him and he is so clinical inside the box.

For me, this is what’s so ridiculous about Haaland at the moment, he’s not playing blindingly special football, even before we think about how Pep will improve him, there’s so much more that he showed with Dortmund we haven’t seen yet.

By April he might be the best player in world football.

On current form, he already is.
