Someone's eager!

The amount of times villa have done something off the pitch to get us excited before really letting us down on it: the foreign signing spree under Sherwood, the spree under rdm, the January spree under Bruce, the takeover this summer . . .

All gives me a feeling we'll lose this. But im hoping the crowd and the renewed enthusiasm will see us over the line - like Gregory against Liverpool all those years ago

Let's get on the front foot and really go at them. Considering the internationals will be tired and Smith won't have seen them, id guess at some of them being rested:

Nyland

Bree Chester tuanzebe Taylor

Whelan hourihane

El ghazi grealish Bolasie

Abraham

Subs: Moreira jedinak hutton Lansbury O'Hare adomah Hogan

I'll cheer on anyone in a Villa shirt, but if Neil Taylor is anywhere near the starting 11, it will be like starting with 10 men and a goal down.

Sold out apart from top Trinity. I'd like 2 tickets for Upper Holte...do we have another ticket resale site if we're no longer using Seatwave?

Not expecting a massive change as it's far too soon for Deano to be able to implement changes on the pitch, so hope a backed out Villa Park and new manager bounce will see us pick up 3pts.

2-1

It was. Amazing how quickly it descended into farce. I remember being really confident after the summer signings (bouma, Phillips, baros).
