Aston Villa vs Leicester Pre-Match Thread

[RamboandBruno]

Ive said in other threads I’d like to give Maatsen a go and the Maatsen Ramsey combo in particular, I can BronteBilly also makes this point.
But it would be harsh on Digne and I dont Emery will do this.
Given the injuries, i think it will be

                                Martinez

Cash.               Konsa.      Mings.      Digne

                           Kamara.    Onana

     Bailey.                 Tielemans.       McGinn

                                Watkins

With Ramsey coming on for Bailey or McGinn on 60 odd mins.

Maatsen can play Friday in the Fa Cup , so can Barkley , Buendia , Ned etc .
Really hope Ramsey is 100% for tomorrow.

To answer I want thinking last chance but more to give him a chance before we decide whether to keep him for the rest of the season or find a loan. The cup might be better but that of course limits his options a little more.

I think McGinn and Tielemans need a rest so I'd give one of them this game off and the other the cup game.

Might not be the game to start Maatsen in. https://x.com/AVFCStatto/status/1875171127821271064

Cold. Snow not expected until 8pm-ish now though.

[Villa Lew]

With Konsa and Mings the CBs I'm more confident of us keeping a clean sheet, the question is apart from Ollie, where are the goals coming from? No matter who will be in the line up, he is the only one, who has scored in the league, since 26 Oct and he has only scored once in open play since 19 Oct. I can't remember the last time we scored from a free kick, you're probably talking years, so on present form the most likelihood of us getting a victory, maybe a penalty.

[Rigadon]

That’s my only concern Lew.  It’ll be interesting to see how we go without Rogers.

Ramsey has to start he's the only one who can drive forward with the ball like Rogers does.

We really need to win this game, ideally well.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Come on Ollie: score that hatrick. We know you want to!

Wrap up warm, all: I certainly will!

[cdbearsfan]

We need to win today. I will not accept ANY drawing or losing NONSENSE. I hope Unai tells them.

Agree mate. If we have any aspirations of CL this is a game we need to win no excuses
