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

Emery won't mess about. He didn't get to be the man he is today by messing about. It'll be similar to the first leg and the Everton game, start strong, get business done, then rest some. 

Not that any of them should need a rest, we've only played 4 games!

Is this on any TV channel tonight?

[Holy Trinity]

Does anyone in the know have any idea if avtv is available in smart tvs or only via the website?

Funeralling is definitely the new buzzword on here
i see it going down a lot

About 6ft, in fact.

AVTV

Would like to see a few youngsters and fringe players. Maybe Revan, Kellyman, Kadan Young and Durán.

Demdoncker if fit and Chambers and Bert.

[TaxDodger]

I hope he plays as many youngsters as possible and doesn't risk anybody vaguely resembling a first team player, with the possible exception of the likes of Chambers and Traore who need match fitness and aren't likely to get many minutes outside of this competition.

I'd far rather lose 0-2 and have no injuries than win 3-0 and we lose a first teamer for Sunday.

Even if we lose we're still through unless they do a 0-6 funeralling.

Is that really necessary?

It's an H&V thing bud.

I think you mean a H&V thing.

Totally agree

There is absolutely no chance there is any threat in this game - except the risk of the injury.

Simply not true. AV84 posts a believable scenario a few posts above.

Are you sure?

I’d play Bailey left back. A lot of our play and creativity comes from that area so he’d likely spend most of the time in the final third rather than defending and a midfielder can shuffle across to cover.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm really hoping that when we see the name Olsen in goal on the team sheet that it's Jesper Olsen.

So you think we could lose 6-0 then at home, OK.....

No chance mate!!
