Seen rumours, tomorrow we are playing with JSL up front in a 541 formation. Back 5 of Wolfe, Toti, Agbadou, Mosquera, Jackson, then Andre, Joao, Krejci, Bellegarde.
What are people’s thoughts on this, if true?
1.) 29 Nov 2025 09:42:48
Following on from above, I hoped I would never see Toti, Mosquera and Agbadou play together again after a few nightmares earlier in season.
2.) 29 Nov 2025 10:09:25
Good, as long as Little Rocket Man (Hwang) isn't playing.
3.) 29 Nov 2025 12:18:17
Bet he is on the bench!
4.) 29 Nov 2025 12:35:59
He be on at some stage.
5.) 29 Nov 2025 13:52:45
He has to play at some stage, part of the contract with Asian market. Be better playing with 10 men. If Rob goes along with that what's the point? Hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling Villa are going to give us a hiding .
6.) 29 Nov 2025 14:11:12
I think its pure stupidity to reveal the line up and formation more than 24 hours in advance so the opposition can work on a gameplay to nullify us.
7.) 29 Nov 2025 16:25:40
Why drop our second best cb s.Bueno?
8.) 29 Nov 2025 17:44:58
PLEASE no Bellegarde and DEFINITELY no Hwang even on the bench!
9.) 30 Nov 2025 12:18:29
Well the line ups are out. If I was Emery, my instructions would be simple. Put Toti under pressure as he is the one who will 100% make a mistake and force his fellow defenders out of position.
This will be an easy 4-0 win for Villa.
10.) 30 Nov 2025 12:24:19
No Krejci in the squad but Toti IN and captain?
Krejci isn't injured so what is going on?
07 Nov 2025 15:24:34
Rob Edwards now 1/5, seems likely, don’t think bookies are normally this much out. Refreshing to hear we may have 3 academy players on the bench for Chelsea, long overdue young players actually getting into the team. Everyone will get behind Edwards if it does happen.
1.) 08 Nov 2025 00:36:13
Is he really the best choice?
2.) 08 Nov 2025 08:43:16
To be perfectly honest he may be our only choice.
3.) 08 Nov 2025 10:56:09
A manager that got relegated at Luton sacked at Watford just what we need to keep us in the Prem

I keep reading that we are after attacking players in January, is Lopez not one of these, thought he cost us £20M as well.
With Joao out and Munetsi injured, I hope that Mane starts on Monday rather than Hwang but doubt it.
1.) 06 Dec 2025 16:09:02
I’d take anyone with self respect, loyalty to the club and a fire in their belly!
2.) 06 Dec 2025 17:35:06
Can not forsee a change in tactics Monday night we might be even more defensive with Joa Gomes out when will we get a coach that will actually play attacking football ⚽ isn't that supposed to be the best form of defense his successer at boro showed so last night
3.) 06 Dec 2025 17:54:31
Harvey Elliott isn’t getting game time on loan at Villa, would be worth trying to hijack that loan. Apparently played 5 times but 10 games triggers the buy guarantee at the end of the loan period.
4.) 06 Dec 2025 18:17:50
Can’t play for 3 clubs in a season slinger so he can either go back to Liverpool or or stay at villa
5.) 06 Dec 2025 18:31:59
What use would Harvey Elliott be to us? He can't play for a 3rd team this season. He's already played for Liverpool and Villa.
6.) 06 Dec 2025 19:03:47
What's the point of talking about January. We will be so far adrift Fosum will not spend the money. We need to protest. Fans need to realize, they don't give a toss about us.
7.) 06 Dec 2025 19:57:39
Another report says we are letting Lopez leave in January as we now realise that players with PL experience are required, Apparently we are linked with a Japanese attacking player who plays for Celtic, you couldn’t make it up, even the rumours are madness.
I agree we did need players with PL experience in the summer, only Krejci really looks any good. I presume Jeff is hoping to get his money back for Lopez, maybe he will perform better back in Spain, we could do with him on Monday.
8.) 06 Dec 2025 20:19:04
Japanese player will sell more shirts than Lopez banksy, same as this young Chinese fella we are signing, can promise you he will be doing photos in that esports shirt quicker than Jeff can add the numbers up
9.) 06 Dec 2025 20:43:13
Sorry for being stupid, I didn’t realise he’d actually played for Liverpool this season
10.) 06 Dec 2025 20:48:17
Don’t be daft slinger, I don’t think Liverpool know he played for them either ?? I think it was like a 5 minute cameo at the end of a game
{Ed001's Note - Community Shield wasn't it?}
11.) 06 Dec 2025 22:32:50
Not sure Ed but it wasn’t long whenever it was ?
12.) 06 Dec 2025 23:31:01
Oh found it, he played for 1 minute for Liverpool v Newcastle.
05 Dec 2025 12:21:14
Seems Jeff still happy to offload players, even if we have never seen them, they will move on and turn out to be fantastic players. More reports on Lopez going and also now Enso Gonzalez, I know he has had an injury, however surely it is worth including these players and at least have a look at them in a game.
See that nothing has been learnt from letting all those players leave in the summer, particularly Doyle and Traore, we could do with them now.
1.) 05 Dec 2025 13:31:28
Well presumably Rob Edwards now has a say in who comes and goes - or maybe not ? in which case why did he take the job.
2.) 05 Dec 2025 20:39:33
His job is plain to see. Get us out of championship and back to prem
End of.
Coz fosun have planned it since vp left us in the mire
3.) 05 Dec 2025 22:43:43
I agree Greyleg, his job is plain, get us back up. Trouble is I fear even that ay likely to happen. I think we’ll get out of the championship ok…just not in the way everybody hopes.
04 Dec 2025 15:26:01
A lot of us on here have predicted this would eventually happen, unfortunately it is now looking even worse than I had expected.
With the players that we have available I would like to see us at least try a 4231 formation.
Something like, Johnstone, Bueno, Agbadou, Krejci, Jackson or Doc, Joao (Bellegarde, next game) Andre, Mane, Arias, I guess Munetsi as no alternative really and then JSL or Tolu.
If we had Doyle or Traore it would help as many said in the summer we should not have let these players leave without suitable replacements.
We are in a complete mess, no attacking quality, lot to ask of Mane but no other choice.
What does everyone think?
1.) 04 Dec 2025 16:44:59
I've given up on thinking of who where etc Banksy, because on that showing last night it just dosnt matter. I've lost interest.
I'll watch the games that I can, , I'll listen to the commentary, but it's merely curiosity now.
I have no hope or excitement in this squad of players. They don't look as if they care, so why should I?
It's the shirt and club that matters to me, but all hope this year is wasted.
Sad day that I couldn't ever envisage, but I don't actually care what happens now, we're down, possibly the worst top flight club since 1902 I read, and Fosun fiddlewhile we burn.
2.) 04 Dec 2025 16:57:55
Have to agree Abbeywolf and I understand your feelings and frustrations. We have Jeff and Fosun to thank for our dire situation and lack of interest. I am away working next week, would normally find somewhere to watch the match, not going to bother this time, get cheesed off feeling more depressed having watched us play. A sorry state indeed.
3.) 04 Dec 2025 17:15:54
I have the utmost respect for those fans who have spent their hard earned cash on tickets and still give their time to turn up to each game.
4.) 04 Dec 2025 17:16:54
Just seen as well, apparently they are sending Lopez out on loan so he can play more. Just sums it all up, he may not be any good, however we wouldn’t know as he barely plays.
5.) 04 Dec 2025 18:43:25
I don't believe it for a second Banksy mate, he's one of the ONLY players with ANY techical ability in the squad and when we signed him most Spanish fans were shocked we got him! If he's going it'll be with a fee agreed and more likely because he feels like he's been completely misold the entire deal! He will be a quality player one day and likely is worried that the absolute joke of a club that we are is going to tarnish hsi chances in the future! Lordy lord what a mess, thanks Jeff you absolute disgrace to the shirt! ?
6.) 04 Dec 2025 19:48:46
I said a few months ago he was sad to leave Vigo, now he's not getting game time and been linked with a loan move back to Celta.
7.) 05 Dec 2025 00:00:05
I never done it before but last couple of games I've switched over to the rugby internationals as the rubbish show unfolded. Disappointed there are none now.
04 Dec 2025 08:25:32
Rant not quite done. Our attacking players at the moment are JSL, Arias and Hwang. Compare this to players we have had in the past, Neto, Jota, Cunha, Jimenez, Adama, Neves even RAN, think that explains the problem. We don’t have a player that can create or beat players, just amazing how badly the club is being run, well destroyed
1.) 04 Dec 2025 13:22:39
Some of us expressed concerns on numerous occasions over the past two, three, four or five seasons, happy clappers and die hards ridiculed us, needless to say we were right, you were wrong, wrong to believe Fosun wanted the same as we do, wrong to believe players being signed were PL standard and wrong to back Fosun, this situation hasn't happened overnight it's been coming since we walked away from Wembley Stadium back in 2019, six years to realise it was hope and not expectation that keeps you paying the ever increasing season ticket prices, even this season Fosun still see fit to sell tickets at category 'A' prices, these people are so detached from fans, football and the real World it takes some believing.
2.) 04 Dec 2025 15:28:26
Evidence please Ron. If you go to the games (which I doubt) there's no such thing as a happy clapper. We all pay our money to watch dross and we're all moaning b*****ds!
04 Dec 2025 08:09:18
What was that I watched last night, terrible game with 2 terrible teams. I really thought we had turned a corner and would have won last night. Don’t know what to say anymore, feel sorry for the fans that have to pay anything to watch it. Whole team just awful, forgot JSL was on the pitch, thought it couldn’t get any worse then enter Hwang.
Within a few seconds of him coming on he allowed player all time in world to cross, not sure what Johnstone was doing, and 1-0.
Whether Mane is old enough or not he has to start games, what is about passing sideways and backwards all the time. Arsenal away could be double figures, I give up, have to calm down now.
1.) 04 Dec 2025 10:18:33
Totally agree Banksy the team I put in the other day I make 1 change Santi Beuno for Agbadou think Santi and Krejci work well together it's got to be a better team than that shower last night felt for John who sits close to me comes from Huddersfield every week home and away proper fan
01 Dec 2025 08:28:41
Excellent OOTB nothing would surprise us now with Jeff, if they were from China or Korea would be signed immediately ?
29 Nov 2025 12:35:59
He be on at some stage.
29 Nov 2025 09:42:48
Following on from above, I hoped I would never see Toti, Mosquera and Agbadou play together again after a few nightmares earlier in season.
26 Nov 2025 17:03:58
Guess you correct 3G would like to believe, however it fading fast ?
25 Nov 2025 12:37:19
Would like to say they won’t allow Joao to leave unless there is absolutely no chance of us staying up. Then again, with our club at the moment anything is possible. Think they have to at least give Rob a chance before arranging further sales, in Jeff and Fosun we don’t trust.
Remainder of the season will be even more depressing if they just give up now.
06 Dec 2025 19:57:39

06 Dec 2025 11:22:42
Be happy to have him back, loan rest of season ?

03 Dec 2025 15:27:24
Please no to Hwang, should not start any game for us until he does something off bench, to be honest don’t want to see him on bench at the moment either. Would rather see Mane or Enzo on bench and to come on for a few mins.
I think Rob may stick with Arias tonight but Hugo may be worth a try tonight instead of Wolfe. Is Lopez still injured?
