I'd start Young wide left instead of El Ghazi. He's looked sharp as fuck.

I haven't seen any of the pre-season games beyond the highlights, but has Young been playing further forward? I thought he'd been brought in to compete with Targett?  If he's still got it going forward, then great, but hasn't he been playing as a left-back for about the last five years?

He came on Sunday there and looked like the Young of old. Gives us guile and looked 'in tune' with Targett.

I would like to think we could make a good start with three wins from our first three games.

We are aston villa. Very rarely in my experience does it go to plan.

I wonder if Young could play DM? Old and wise, should be able to read the game better than anyone. I'm spitballing. Not sure if he'd have the legs though.

No, no, no, no and no. No.

Please can we stop suggesting players who aren't defensive midfielders, and just buy a good one? Thank you. ;)

Oh absolutely, I don't think we're bothering the European places until we do get a proper DM. I'm just outwardly wondering how much 'utility' he has.

We need to be realistic, we haven't started a season with three back-to-back wins in almost an entire year.
