I can see Martinez playing and Luiz being on the bench.

You make it sound as though you are seeing into the future. Can you see the score?

It's currently 0-0

 

[The Bear]

Hopefully Martinez plays and is severely jet-lagged.

 

[WsWolf]

I'd like to see this tomorrow, but I'd say it's unlikely.

Sa
Semedo Kilman Coady Boly Ait nouri
Moutinho Neves Dendoncker
Hwang Raul

All i want to see tomorrow is us winning, i dont care how ugly it is, just a win thankyou.

.......... ........................Sa
Semedo......Kilman...Coady....Saiss......RAN
.................Neves................Moutinho
.......Hwang.........Raul.............Traore.

Don't mind if Boly comes in or if Donk replaces one of the CMs, also fine if it's Podence instead of Traore.
Feels like we have options atm

That would be my team, though would prefer Podence rather than Traore at the start.

No problem if the other 2 mentioned are there either

 

[Tredman]

Sá
Kilman - Coady - Boly
Semedo - Donk - Moutinho - RAN
Pod
Hwang - Raul​

 

[Jinky]

Oh Christ. Raul is on the bench

Boly still on the bench too.

Looks like three midfielders and Traore/Hwang up top.

two goalkeepers on the bench again.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Traore as second striker?

It's an interesting line uo to say the least

 

[WsWolf]

Planning a smash and grab by the look of it. Not averse to it really, villa defenders are all awful dealing with being run at.

 

[Lupo]

Martinez starts for Villa, Buendia back in

 

[Dire Wolf]

Raul on the bench, yet they throw Luiz and Martinez straight in the team?

 

[Mel Evo]

Trincao got the rona apparently.

 

[Jinky]

They have Watkins & Ings up top. We have Traore & Hwang.

Looking at those line ups, they’ve definitely moved past us on the field the last season or so. Don’t know how Fosun have allowed that to happen.

I’m going in to this one with hope, rather than expectation.

 

[sycophantia]

Hmm that looks a pretty defensive line up to me.
5 at the back, 3 defensive midfielders and Traore up front. Can't say I'm confident of a pulsating game or scoring many

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They have one point on us. Today was a chance to get ahead of them but that line up is bizarre.

 

[The Bear]

Can't say I'm optimistic given that lineup, with Boly, Jimenez and RAN all on the bench plus all our midfielders out there at the same time.

I'm willing to keep an open mind though. I just hope we don't just sit deep and wait for Traore to do something.

Conversely, I wouldn't want any of their back 3 (maybe Konsa at a push) or midfield 5. So they have 2 players, who if we signed I'd not want to start instead of Raul anyway. If they have moved past us it's absolutely minimal.

 

[Freddeno]

I would be happy with a draw today really
