[Legion]

Villa won 3-2 today at the Emirates in a friendly. Luiz & Jacob Ramsey (2) scored for Villa. Aubameyang with both goals for Arsenal.

Do we know what the line-up was?  No SJM, Mings, Jack, Hourihane. Did Cash play?

What were the line ups?

Edit: beat me to it newby

This Ramsay kid seems to have a habit of getting amongst the goals whatever level he plays at - on loan last season for Doncaster, pre-season friendly for the first team. Promising.

[Toronto Villa]

From the images online we had a lot of kids. They certainly played Aubemayang, Lacazette, Elneny.

Jacobs 2 goals on his debut for Doncaster against Tranmere and a little interview after too

Doesn't give the line up's but certainly gives more detail than our local paper

Weird that there's barely a mention on the official site, or the official twitter.

I think that qualifies as 'barely a mention'!

[Legion]

Posted after the event anyway. The coverage of anything other than the 1st team (and sometimes the Women) is atrocious.

Ramsey is a seriously good player, but I don't know if he's ready yet.

I hope I'm wrong.

There's a blog/article here by John Townley about Jacob Ramsey (and his 2 brothers)  http://www.avillafan.com/32504/jacob-ramseys-rise-at-bodymoor-heath/

"Aaron is one of the standout players in Villa’s U16s and hopes to join Jacob in the professional ranks before too long. If Aaron makes it, the Ramsey’s could become the second pair of Brummie Brothers to play for Villa after the turn of the millennium – Luke Moore and Stefan Moore both came through the academy around 2005."

Didn't take long to forget about the Gardner brothers .
