Can't see the Eagles going ahead in this one. Another 'job done' performance in the Netherlands, 2-0 to the Villa.
-
1-1

I think Unai will rest quite a few for this without disrespecting the opposition. I expect Bogarde to start in place of Kamara. Unsure what he does elsewhere. We need to ensure we’re managing players minutes.
-
I'd give Watkins the chance to attempt to get a couple.
-
Other options could be Elliott, Sancho and Malen. Mings at the back with maybe Lindelof.
-
Desmond.

I'd go;
Martinez
Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen
Bogarde, Onana
McGinn, Elliott, Rogers
Watkins

Bill Withers was good for me

How do you turn a parrot into a soul singer? Put it in the microwave until its Bill Withers.

Id like to think we will be resting Cash or McGinn anyway. Either of those get injured and we are in trouble. Rogers should be given the night off too.
Maybe try Ollie and Malen up front again like v Burnley. Buendia on left and one of Sancho or Elliot on the right. Not sure what we do if/when Cash is out, might be Lindelof there which won't be pretty. Bizot will start too.

Hate these "when do we have we tea?" European kick offs.
We feel more resilient these days which helps when you are away from home in Europe so that give me heart for a positive result. I can see plenty of rotation, some periods of showing said resilience and an eventual victory.
0-1

Deventer in Holland.

Deventer in Holland.
It's in Overijssel. Which is in the East, rather than Holland which is in the West.

Their record this season in all comps is W3 D4 L5, they did win away to Panathinaikos but lost at home to Steaua.
-
I call it Holland as they don't like it and i'm petty over football.
-
Judging by the state of Digne's ankle, Maatsen will be starting. Wouldn't mind seeing Sancho given a start alongside him.

We need to watch them like a hawk though.

I have been trying to find that scene from Scrubs where between these two drop someone's liver or heart on the floor. It was very funny. I can never seem to find it.

I'm not sure Sancho at Centre Back is the best idea you've ever had.

I mentioned this a while ago to a Dutch family we’re friends with
They said they call it Holland as well and it’s a load of overblown bollocks
same level as forest fans getting annoyed when called Notts and west ham fans pretending everyone’s always called their old ground the Boleyn and not Upton Park
-
And Netherlands is a stupid name. Sounds like it should be in some shit romantic novel from a hundred years ago. "As they embraced their netherlands touched"
-
Yeah, I work with a lot of dutch people and I sometimes say Holland, especially when talking about football, and I've never had anyone seem even remotely bothered by it.

Didn't have the heart to tell you, it doesn't exist.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrooooong.

I'm a British Tourist and I'm very, very rude.
I hate the stinking foreigners
hate their stinking food
I don't like French or Germans
I don't care for Belgians much
But worst of all worst of all
I hate the Dutch
The Dutch, the Dutch
I hate them worse than dogs.
They live in windmills
and mince around in clogs.
They don't have any manners
They don't say 'thanks' or 'please'
all they eat is tulips
and stinking gouda cheese...
I'm a British tourist with a countenance severe
I love to strike the foreign type
And box their poxied ears
The slimy crawling
stench appalling
snotty grotty Dutch
The Dutch are mad
Their fingers stuck in dikes
They use the wrong side of the road
And ride around on bikes
They don't have any manners,
don't have any brains.
There's only one race worse than them
and that's... THE DANES!

Hopefully we don't slack off like we did at Bruges (league stage) or Monaco, or they'll be dancing in the streets of Go Ahead tomorrow evening.
