Perri, Darlow or Meslier to start vs Aston Villa - Poll Of The Day (17th Nov)

Post by **1964white** » Mon Nov 17, 2025 8:33 am

This week's polls will relate to team selection for Sunday's game against Aston Villa.

I know it doesn't really affect goalkeepers, but I assume Farke won't change his usual formation, so he will go with 4-3-3, bear that in mind when we concentrate on the other positions.

Perri for me & no way DF will drop him.

Don't even know why Meslier is on the list , he is miles from starting these days .

Be very surprised if it’s not Perri.

Someone posted last week, they would consider starting Meslier.

I'm covering all the options.

Perri for me, he needs a run of games for confidence.
We also need to see his long throw again, I'm sure he could get an assist with one.

As above , Perri needs a run of games in the side to build his confidence and get to know the players in front of him. Chopping and changing keeper rarely works.

Perri has produced 5 top class saves in the last two that Darlow and probably not Mes would have gotten to. Has to be Perri, just get him to throw the ball out on fast break.

Perri for the reasons stated in the above posts.

Perri's distribution is all about good movement from our forwards.

About as good as Darlow with ball at feet. Mes is best at that. But his long kicking and throwing is good

Not sure the way forward is ever constant keeper changes so Perri

Darlow is my choice not because he is better than Perri, its purely a tactical change to go over the Villa press and hit our forwards.
Its worked before but it all depends what Farke has in mind.

Perri played well last time out.

Perri for me.
Let him settle into the position with a run of games.
