Aston Villa v WBA Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Same system. AEG and Barkley back in the starting line up. Wesley on the bench

[manic-road]

Ross starts so hope he pulls his finger out, good to see Wes on the bench.

[CT]

I’m stunned Ross Barkley is starting this game, let alone in the squad. Really disappointed in this.

I hope he proves me wrong.

[Toronto Villa]

Bitters: Johnstone, Furlong, Ajayi, Bartley, Townsend, Gallagher, Yokuslu, Maitland-Niles, Robinson, Pereira, Diagne.

Subs: Button, Robson-Kanu, Livermore, Phillips, Diangana, Sawyers, Peltier, O’Shea, Grant.

[RamboandBruno]

Sigh. Bit disappointing to see Barkley back in and no Davis

[colin69]

Currently sat in my back garden and I’ve just heard the Blose fan next door say to his Mrs that Barkley is starting. I’m not sure what’s sadder, the fact he’s starting or the fact the neighbour must have been glued to the internet to see our starting line up!!!

[Deano's Mullet]

Is his missus a Villa fan though?

[Doughboy21]

I give up,predicted and depressed

[john e]

He must have imbibed the spirit of MOM with this level predictability in every game

[manic-road]

I give up,predicted and depressed

Ross starting predicted?

[Risso]

Barkley starting? Totally earned after all his scintillating performances recently.

[SaddVillan]

Smith's taking a big risk starting Barkley.

He'll cop some serious flak if we don't win.

[Toronto Villa]

A win today takes us up to 9th, 30 points back of Man City with a game in hand. All to play for boys. UTV!!

[Steve67]

El Ghazi normally plays well against the bitters. Here’s hoping for another purple patch!

[VILLA MOLE]

Is his missus a Villa fan though?
