Aston Villa v Luton Town Match Thread

[AV84]

I think it could be more tricky than a lot of people think, even suggesting players should've got deliberately booked last week to miss this one.

I suggested that but more in the sense that we could probably manage Luton without Luiz a lot better than we'd manage Spurs or Arsenal, for example.

Zaniolo you have to hit the target.

[Rigadon]

Evidence this far suggests that we will get lots and lots of chances today...

[Martyn Smith]

Listening on WM - both SJM and NZ should done better according to the commentary. Let's just keep at it

Commentator just said that the move to Turkey 'hasn't worked out' for Zaniolo?

He broke the league and is now playing in the EPL for a team in the top five, I think it worked out alright.

Is quite amusing from Luton fans

I really want Zaniolo to be a hero but he's not really done much yet.

Isn't the general understanding that the move to Turkey was to get him out of Roma, and it was only ever a stopgap, Galatasary knew this too, so it has actually worked out extremely well for all involved.

I can understand the thinking behind it, but it's times like that when we might come unstuck. Hope I'm wrong though, we could be winning already.

I'd say he needs to ping in a few goals for us before I'd go with extremely well for everyone.

Talking about the move to Turkey, which didn't involve us at all.

[Monty]

Watkins needs to score that!

Goodness me. Quite a few nearlys in these opening ten.

Needs a couple of goals.

Between the first season of the Premier League to the current they cycled all the way down from the Prem to the conference and back again in 31 years. Wonder if any other club anywhere have undergone a similar journey
