I don't think we're in the realms of the past where we give up before a ball is kicked. We are better than that now, I just think it's a step too far given the mess of the last few months.
I shall be trying to watch the match and the Mayo V Tyrone match in the All Ireland Final at the same time which is most inconvenient scheduling.

What are you thinking re Mayo v Tyrone? You couldn't back Mayo with stolen money in a final...but I hope they do it

1-2 to the Villa. FTF!
Thanks Ads. Didn't realise I needed to show proof of double jab. I think I will arrive earlier than normal. I imagine this is will cause delays getting in.

Too fucking right! I'm a right miserable bastard and even I'm getting depressed at all these mutterings of utter capitulation!
Is Barkley in their official squad for the season? Can't believe we took on his and Drinkwater's wages for such little return....no other club would touch them with elongated bargepoles.

Nope...seems like Rosco has taken a bit of a sabbatical career wise. To think we were reportedly looking to sign him permanently after his winner at Leicester...Drinky gone on loan to Reading. They are both finished.
Would Silva have started for Chelsea on Saturday?he hasn’t started a game this season.
Is Konsa out injured?
Without meaning to go all TSM, I’ll take a nice 2-0 defeat.
I fear it might be much worse.

Who?
Bailey and Watkins are key, not only for their individual skills, but also they bring pace to the team which we need to threaten Chelsea.
Kante and Pulisic out for them. Lukaku in....

So I see FIFA now have cleared Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Paraguay players to play in England. So they have power to change Covid restrictions now do they?
It is was this not a Covid restriction or something else which prevented these players from playing?

I've been saying all international break I can see a 3-5-2 type of thing for Villa and pairing Ings and Watkins up front. Matching Chelsea formation and pressing from the front.
Balls played up to the 2 strikers and McGinn to join in the press.
The way Smith talked about Young giving info on Lukaku suggests he'll be involved in the team and need player if this experience for a big test.

I'm not sure about the defensive two but feel that Ramsey doesn't deserve to be dropped, if fit, and Nakamba should be rewarded for his loyalty in putting club before country (not that this is a criticism of those who, understandably, wanted to play in the biggest game in international football).
4-2-3-1 for me.

I don’t think Buendia is available after the farcical Brazilian International.

Rewarding players for loyalty?! You'll be suggesting 6 at the back next! Players are rewarded by their enormous salaries, and the only other consideration should be whether they're good enough to be in the team, which Nakamba almost certainly isn't.

He was excellent last time we played them. I think he often plays better against the top teams.I don't think we have anyone better at doing the fairly simple thing of breaking up play. Which is ideal against a bunch of fancy dan tricksy types like they'll be picking against us.
I'm looking forward to today's match I really think we can get something.

D'oh! Of course. El Ghazi, then.
I don't think we're in the realms of the past where we give up before a ball is kicked. We are better than that now, I just think it's a step too far given the mess of the last few months.
I shall be trying to watch the match and the Mayo V Tyrone match in the All Ireland Final at the same time which is most inconvenient scheduling.
What are you thinking re Mayo v Tyrone? You couldn't back Mayo with stolen money in a final...but I hope they do it
History weighs heavy for Mayo, that's probably their biggest hurdle to overcome. The semi against Dublin may also be looked upon as a peak but I'm hopeful they can win. I'll take a Mayo win and Villa loss or vice versa.
I’ve got a feeling he will start Young. I think this is the wrong thing to do as he should be here to share his leadership and as a back up to Targett.
Will be watching the All-Ireland on TV and following the Villa on my phone. Hoping for at least a Villa draw and a win for the green and red of Mayo!

Will be trying to watch both down the Sacred Heart by the Villa. My family are Dubs but the wifes are from Mayo, so hoping they break the curse.
Cant see much for Villa today, standard 2-0 to Chelsea, given the injuries, lack of game time, international mess for us.

I have just seen that we are 9/1 to win with the bookies. Cheeky f*ckers.
Still feel they should be getting a wage.
3-5-2 matching their formation
no pace to break, should have a winger and ditch ings. Formation purely to accommodate ings and ollie. Ideal game for Baileys pace.
We'll be pinned back in a 5-3-2 and smashing it long all game.
