Be interesting to see who plays LB Sunday , I think it will be Digne

Back to Digne away, Moreno at home?

Digne for sure. Moreno primed and ready to come in around 70 mins. Just hope there's no reoccurrence of any injuries like what happened Ramsey after Brighton. Those two back into the squad/team will give us some boost. Bailey is kicking down the door too. Even Lenglet tonight was very good. Squad starting to look strong!

Sort of. I think it’s more Moreno for teams who park the bus, and Digne when we need to be a bit more solid.

Thought Olsen was pretty composed.
Didn’t stand a chance with the goal and almost had an assist

You can't say that kind of thing around here mate

Yes he can. If you don't like it 'around here' please feel free to go elsewhere. I also thought he did a pretty decent job.

True. We've moved up a level from last season.

[Legion]

Quite a few levels.

The number of games we have in December both LB will get plenty of minutes I'd guess

Not tonight or in any other of our ECL games to be fair. Second half was an improvement but we've never really looked that comfortable other than the AZ away game and that was more to do with we score when we want. Early days I know but we've never really clicked like we do in the the league.

Much better from Olsen but I still think the players retain the fear that we do in trusting him at times. Hope this is the start of him becoming a more reliable understudy.

I've never thought Olsen as bad as some on here but I'll admit I was surprised to see him play tonight. The League Cup tie with Everton was the only time this season Emery has played him by choice rather than necessity, and this being a pretty important game, I really wasn't expecting it. (I'm assuming given Martinez was on the bench that it was choice tonight)

I guess between the international break and the upcoming cluster of fixtures it would be somewhat questionable whether Martinez could/should play them all.

Played 5, won 4 and top of the group and already qualified for knockouts. I'm happy with that overall even if we aren't guaranteed top spot yet.

Particularly if you think back to what the mood was like 89 minutes into the second game, a third of the way through the group, with only one point and what were supposed to be the two hardest matches up next.

[AV84]

The BBC match report says it was Moreno's first goal for Villa. Is that right? I could have sworn he's scored before.
