With no AEG or Trez in the starting line up who do we think is going to play on our right? My guess is Traore with Jack on the left.

Nakamba has waited for his chance all season I suppose. Playing Ramsey instead may have been too attack minded. We'll see though.

I think it’s that. Smith brought Ramsey on for Barcklay on Wednesday, so might of been a bit gung ho, with just Luiz as defensive minded in the middle. Will miss McGinn tonight, but hopefully will have enough for this lot.

I can't say I'm happy that all three of Traore, Nakamba and Barkley start tonight.  Ramsey and El Ghazi should have any of those places.  Hope I'm proven wrong.

Barkley shouldn’t start against Newcastle? You must be joking. He was unsurprisingly rusty the other night, but he has real class.

Maximums on the bench but Bruce can’t make a son before 70 minutes so hopefully by that time we will be out of sight

Newcastle are lining up with three at the back. I have seen them play that a few times and it seems to suit them more.

I'm not saying Barkley shouldn't be starting.  What I am saying is that El Ghazi and Ramsey should be.

Marvs a good call to break up the play from that Toon middle 5.

Think I just heard Kelly say that Newcastle have lost 5/6 when playing 3 at the back

Yes they have been woeful with three at the back, then again they have been woeful most of the season.

I've been a Villa fan long enough to expect a Carroll hat-trick this evening!
