Subs: Given, Okore, Bacuna, Herd, Lowton, Robinson, Grealish.

Subs: Mannone, Cattermole, Altidore, Alvarez, Coates, Giaccherini, Buckley.

[Toronto Villa]

Okore rested maybe having playing quite a few games in succession. Also bringing in N'Zogbia to add some width though I would have much preferred to give Grealish a start. Weimann to start just off Benteke replacing Gabby was an obvious move.

Them: Pantilimon, Vergini, Jones, O’Shea (c), Brown, Bridcutt, Gomez, Larsson, Johnson, Wickham,

Subs: Mannone, Cattermole, Altidore, Alvarez, Coates, Giaccherini, Buckley.

We really should beat those ten.

[Toronto Villa]

We have to start the game quickly and keep them hemmed in to their third. Our attitude to the game will dictate the result. Need to now start to turn the possession into good chances and importantly start to take them.

Pretty much the team I expected, don't think he was likely to play a back 3 at home against Sunderland.  I think I'd have given Grealish the nod over N'zogbia.

Disappointed the useless Insomnia gets another game. Okore sitting out a game is maybe needed and can come back in to the side against Palace.

As we have learned, it's not a side that screams goals is it.  Thank god for Benteke.

Mind you, their's isn't either.

CNZ cleverly and Weimann all play. How boring and disappointing.

[PaulWinch again]

I hope this is just a one game rest for Okore. Win please Villa.

I would play any of those on the bench ahead of Nzogbia and that includes Given
