Jhon Duran injured?

Need a big game from Diaby, he's been quiet recently.

Hi Steven.

Jhon Duran injured?

He played for Colombia late on Tuesday so must've picked up a knock.

Given West Ham's strength he'd have been a useful sub later on in the game.

With no JD on the bench it will be interesting what we do if chasing the game. Although hopefully we won't find out as we'll be 3 up.

Bert and Bailey double sub.

I also thought Carlos would have a chance of starting today so could always go 3atb and really push the full backs on later on as suspect it will be a cat and mouse type game for first hour.

Odds on Digne and Luiz picking up yellows late on today?

Would prefer Digne not to given Moreno still isn't in the squad. Luiz getting booked at some point is a cert as we'll need our first choice midfield v Alkmaar and then we should be o.k giving Tielemans a start v Luton.

No offence to Luton, but there's a handful of teams I think we could manage with a makeshift LB against, and they're one of them. I suppose it depends on how close Moreno is to returning, but I'd rather play Luton or Forrest without Digne and Moreno, than Fulham or Spurs.

Tim Sherwood really seems to love the Villa.

Terrible defending from Torres, couldn;t cope with Antonio at all. Sort it aht!

This ref is pissing me off already ...

Not like you to be critical of Torres.

Watkins is so frustrating.  Constantly makes runs into an offside position.
