Aston Villa vs Hibs - UECL 2nd leg - pre match thread - Thursday 8pm

[Legion]

I think this the game to give Aaron Ramsey, Cam Archer and Jaden Philogen some much needed minutes

Sliding Doors.

For a game in which we'll kick-off already 5-0 up, there are currently a grand total of 21 seats available. Imagination captured.

Flinstone will be wondering why it’s not a sell out.

I buy the damn tickets if I have to and flog them to Hibernian fans

[Axl Rose]

1-1

Annoyingly, being so good in the first leg appears to mean we won’t be on BBC Scotland this week. 😐

Is Zaniolo available for this? I don’t know the registration rules.

If so, I’d start Bailey Zaniolo and Durán

Tielemans should get a start. Maybe Chambers in.

Should be a straight forward win. 3-0.

Zaniolo isn't available until the group stage.

Personally I'd be looking at getting 3-4 kids a bit of a run out, either starting or at least coming on from the bench, it's not often you can give them a chance with so little pressure on the result.

If anyone sees Flint, tell him to piss off. A genuinely sad fucking twat.

You’re a fan then? 🤣

Be nice to rest a few players with Liverpool up next.  I guess Dendonker won't be ready for this but would be good to get him some minutes.  Perhaps start with some of the kids and take them off after 65 minutes.  Revan, Kellyman to start, keep with Olsen.  Rest Kamara and McGinn, to important to risk. Duran in for Ollie and give him the full game.

It's a disgrace that we haven't full sold out within the first 5 minutes of tickets being put on sale. It's our first time in Europe for years and there are still seats available.

a few of the key players need resting ready for Sunday , i'd leave out Martinez Diego Luiz Kamara Watkins Diaby McGinn Digne

I would like a statement from the Club on the inability to sell out so far.

0-2.

So you are predicting we'll win the tie Leeg, is this the first time you've predicted a Villa 'win'? 

[Smithy]

It will be nice to see a few of the fringe players and youngsters getting a game. Would expect to see most of Olsen, Donk, Duran, Chambers, Tielemens, Traore, Kellyman to start.  Maybe even the likes of Revan, and one of the U21 forwards on the bench.  The team will still have four or five proper first-teamers in the side, mainly as we don't have the fit players available to do anything else!

A much closer game, them playing for pride under a new manager, maybe the odd goal in it.

Home team score is first...
