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

Can see the same team except for Bernie getting a rest and Mahrez coming in and KDB back in for Gundo.

 

[Cricket Blue]

Tough game but Villa in bad form and we could hammer the final nail in Stevie G's coffin.
I wonder what the plan for Haaland is during the world cup? Will they just tell him to have a big holiday or maybe play some friendly games to keep him ticking over?

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias
Gündogan Cancelo
Bernardo de Bruyne Foden
Álvarez Haaland​

Great looking side that, mate - although I’m not sure Gundo at right wingback is playing to his strengths, and the lack of Rodri concerns me.

Given we’ve now got five CBs to choose from, I wonder whether Kyle moving forward into Gundo’s spot and Laporte/Ake/Akanji slotting in at the back would make more sense.

And I think with that line up, it’s two from KDB, Bernardo and Phil, with Rodri in the middle.

More like:

GK - Ederson
CB - Stones
CB - Dias
CB - Akanji
RWB - Walker
LWB - Cancelo
RM - Bernardo
CM - Rodri
LM - KDB
CF - Alvarez
CF - Haaland

Can you get to upper tier from lower tier at villa Park from concourse?

What are the bookies odds on Gerrard getting the push straight after the game?

Slippy G is 4/1 in the next manager to be sacked odds.

Could be right, although I don't think Rodgers is far off going, he could walk instead of being sacked though.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Can't wait to see what team we put out, but make sure Haaland starts please

Don’t you get paid out if they walk, Rodgers is 4/6 btw so it’s looking bleak for him.
