Club Brugge KV v Aston Villa Pre Match Thread.

[PaulWinch again]

Those confident of an easy win obviously haven't seen us play away recently. Give me some contemporary evidence which might suggest an easy win?

I don’t know why anyone would expect an easy win on the basis we’ve lost to them already, they’ve just hammered the Europa League winners, and we very rarely win easily. We might do, but there’s no basis for it.

It is 12.45pm for those watching in NYC.

So it’s already happened where you are then? Any chance you could give me score and scorers, please. I want to put a bet on.

Anyone who thinks this will be an easy match is living in cloud cuckoo land!

Wasn't Disasi worse than Konsa when played at RB?

[edgysatsuma89]

I'm not sure why you'd assume it wouldn't be Konsa at RB considering how many times Emery has played him there.

I didn't, it came from Jacob Tanswell.

Disasi played a lot of Right Back (badly) at Chelsea. He also potentially went there in the changes against Palace although I don't think anyone knew who was playing where in the end.

[dorsetvillian]

How many chances has Bailey had in this team. eason. Must be one of the luckiest players to retain his place having played so poorly for 95% of the season.

[Dick Edwards]

Surprised Leon still a first choice selection

[TelfordVilla]

Stick a scouse wig on Malan and call him Bailey all night and no one need know.

[ctvillafan]

The start should be good for Leon’s confidence.  He’s been better lately so here’s hoping.

[VillaTim]

The starting XI don't necessarily win the game . It's the finishing XI .
This is where Emery is elite.

The changes were made at the right time and influenced the result really well.
