Can't drum up much excitement for this, but come on Villa.

[Karlos96]

How on earth has the likes of Bacuna kept their place?  Same old shit.

[kippaxvilla2]

So for all the moaning about them Bacuna, Gabby and Lescott start again.  Just shows you how generally poor this squad is.

[Toronto Villa]

Realistically what line up could he have picked which wouldn't have led to people saying its a crap line up? The message from the manager is that before Liverpool this side or similar combinations didn't do too bad. So he was never going to make too many changes.

same old same old

onwards and upwards

Don't forget Garde had been saying in the week that some players are not showing commitment so he picks the same players
Unless we are wrong about the players we think arnt bothered

[aj2k77]

The message is you can be as uncommitted as you like on the pitch and in training and still keep your place in the team surely. You cannot criticise players the way he has and then pick them the next day and expect to see a response. I'll be amazed, pleasantly amazed if this is anything other than being played off the park.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Good to see Captain Marvel out the side. For all Hutton's faults, at least he cares and gives his all.

Lescott even admitted to not being committed and still starts.

At least he acknowledged it and apologised, so you'd think he might try and make up for it.

It's cold

[clash city rocker]

Can't say I overly optimistic about today's result. The whole bloody club seems to be in such a mess. It's hard to believe and take it really. There just seems to be no love lost between the players and fans. Both groups just seem to hate each other. Never known anything like it.
