Sky Sports News have a reporter at the stadium in Perth and they’ve just been over to her. Roughly 3 minutes talking about the condition of the pitch & 6 minutes about MUFC. I don’t recall Villa even being mentioned.

Who’s TS Lowry?
He painted matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs.
Or maybe that was LS Lowry.....

This doesn’t look ideal

That s some Stadium. Capacity up to 65 000 acc Wiki. Wont be packed this time of season I guess but anyhow I will try to get a nice view somewhere riverside. Would be grat to beat them this time of year as we did two years ago (1-0?).

I believe it has sold out or close to.

Still persevering with Watkins Ings.
Not sure the answer to 2 non functioning strikers is to play both of them.

Yes. I would have expected a mention in passing at least.

5 minute “review” on SSN. Not one mention of the Villa. Unbelievable.

No, me neither. Seems to be a stubborn plan that just doesn't work

Well they’ve played them separately through pre-season, so now is an opportunity to show what they can do. I assume they have a plan and have been working on their partnership in training.

Better to try again now in a friendly!

I'm guessing we're going 4-3-1-2. Not a lot of pace there.
