At the match at Portman Road on Sunday, John McGinn was unable to play due to a hamstring injury, which meant that Leon Bailey was brought back into the starting lineup.
However, Bailey had a tough time in Suffolk, causing many Aston Villa fans to call for Ezri Konsa to go back to his preferred position and have a more natural full-back, such as Lamare Bogarde or Kosta Nedeljković, fill in for Matty Cash who was still out injured.
Just a short time ago, in their first European Cup match in over 40 years, Villa dominated BSC Young Boys with a 3-0 victory in Bern. Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey, and Amadou Onana were all on the scoresheet in what was a perfect night at Stadion Wankdorf.
In the midst of these developments, it is clear that Villa’s squad depth is being tested, and the fans are eager to see the team adapt and potentially bring in new faces to solidify their position in the league.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how Villa manage their congested fixture list and continue to compete at the highest level.
In the meantime, supporters are hopeful that the team can maintain their momentum and secure a strong position in the league standings, with talented players like Onana stepping up and making a difference on the pitch.
In the words of one Villa fan, “It’s important for Konsa to find his best form and for the team to rally together in the face of adversity. We believe in the boys and know they have what it takes to succeed.”
