HŠK Zrinjski Mostar v Aston Villa Match Thread

It'll be interesting to see where Z plays, with Ramsey back in the side.

True. Somebody said the other day playing on the left wasn't his natural or favourite position. It would be wonderful if tonight we realised why he's hardly pulled up any trees but now we can see a real quality player.

Z will be fine , that thunderbolt he hit in Warsaw that JD and coke finished off

Some players can take on more games than others. I’m sure Unai and his staff know said players so has picked the team accordingly.

I don't think a small number of games in a few days is necessarily the problem, but more the continual build up over two or three months. We looked knackered after Saturday, but both games had been high-intensity for us.

Torres hasn't played many of the European matches, so has had week gaps between most games. Konsa came off after 60 minutes at the weekend. Could see Cash off after 60, Konsa to right back and Lenglet / Carlos on to keep things fresh.

just realised Torres playing too ! 4 games in 8 days for Konsa / Torres is asking for problems

Isn’t it their job?

no, it's the squad's job

He is an unbeliever!

[Bad English]

Zaniolo wank there. ;-)

Fucking clogger!

No yellow card for that challenge on Ramsey?

[SamTheMouse]

Terrible tackle on JJ, FFS. He looks ok but that must have hurt.

Of all the places for Ramsey to get savaged !!!

Christ, this looks like it is being played in Cannon Hill Park, and sounds like the crowd are in the cricket ground.

[VillaTim]

That scissor lift behind the goal

No yellow card for that challenge on Ramsey?

He was booked

[Mister E]

Z had to hit the target.
Ramsey molested.
Villa shape looks really good.
Marschall looking cool.

Hopefully, this will be a good workout for some of the fringe players.

Good. I missed the ref showing it and the graphic to confirm it!

[Toronto Villa]

Get a point and get out unscathed/alive.
