Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

We go again. Pretty much what was expected.

[Drummond]

I agree with Eamonn.

[eamonn]

As expected. Bench doesn't look too inspiring though. Traore, Rashica and an enforcer would make a real difference.

They look very defensive - not surprising.

[Goldie.7]

That bench is incredibly poor.

I think it's safe to say Guilbert and Samatta are both off.

[Drummond]

I hope Grealish and Trez really push forward and keep their wingbacks busier.

[Proposition Joe]

No Guilbert anywhere to be seen. I think binning him will be a mistake.

Usual team really, thought they might've included a few more of their summer signings.

Oliver Burke was a massive flop at West Brom so surprised he's started. Quick but dosen't have much else to his game.

Looks like it

[darren woolley]

Come on Villa three points please.

[kippaxvilla2]

We definitely need another goalscorer proven I mean.

That's the bench for seeing out a 3-0 lead. It's unlikely to turn a game around.

Is Bert eligible to play yet or are their registration/work-permit matters still to deal with ?

[Taylor]

Just turned on Sky to watch the build up, six minutes in they are already talking about the city game later on. Utter drivel. I know I should cancel my subscription but I would miss the cricket too much.

[malckennedy]

If we are going into our first match with Hourihane in the starting 11 and with Taylor and El Ghazi amongst the subs then that is a measure of how much strengthening is left to do I fear.
