I get it…but the defeatism I’m reading is awful.

Doug is captain now that Emi is out.

[JUAN PABLO]

how many on here got that team right ?


I thought Zaniolo would strart but in place of Rogers .

Tielmans benched another weird one.  Is he not 100 % fit neither?

oh well . .   just watch the goal difference Villa.

In all seriousness, I think we're going to enjoy this more than we all think.

I was genuinely kind of excited to see such an odd line up, but the lack of Martinez has tempered that a bit.

[The Edge]

Emi out, thats it then

That's it. I'm going for the draw now.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm assuming they're going to play long ...

Hope not, Shane always scores against us, i'd rather they play Haaland.

Wish there was a sofa, I could hide behind. 

This is either going to be fabulous or a huge car crash.

Buckle in Villans; enjoy the ride.

😁😁😁

I didnt even notice emi was out !! Bloody hell olsen ?? This is gonna be a long night

I mean why not give gauci a start ?

[Small Rodent]

I was okay with the lineup until the Martinez news.

Was watching the game to see how Duran and Zaniolo do, so my main focus has not changed.

[London Villan]

I wonder if Spurs had won last night, whether Unai would’ve gone so weak?

[Villa Lew]

I've been thinking I'd be happy with a draw, now I'm thinking I might be happy with us keeping the defeat down to just a couple of goals. Haaland and De Bruyne on the bench and despite Pep's tirade at him after Sunday's match, Grealish starts.

[villadelph]

Unai is smarter than I, Unai is smarter than I, Unai is smarter than I..

I was excited for this one, but now I'm just nervous. If we can scrap a point here I'll fry my shoe and eat it.

 Still showing EMI in goal in the stadium.

I’m clutching at straws🤣🤣

The club have stated he's out.

I expect we will copy arsenal and go for the draw.
