Aston Villa vs Lille - Conf League QF 1st leg - Thursday 8pm - pre match

[VillaTim]

Just to add if mcginn or diaby get a booking they are banned for game in lille. Absolutely essential neither picks up a booking

We've played half a season without Diaby in fairness .

[Risso]

Id go
Olsen
KH Carls Lengelet Moreno
SJM Tim Luiz Zaniolo
Big Jhon Diaby

Pretty sure Kesler-Hayden isn't in the submitted squad. So probably not worth being thrown out of the competition just to give Konsa a rest.

He is. You can have as many "kids" as you want, I thought?

You can, I just thought you had to have specified which ones*

But it'll teach me to trust anything that the Mail churn out:

Goalkeepers: Emiliano Martinez, Joe Gauci, Robin Olsen, Filip Marschall (B), James Wright (B)

Defenders: Matty Cash, Diego Carlos, Ezri Konsa, Lucas Digne, Pau Torres, Alex Moreno, Clement Lenglet, Ben Chrisene (B), Sil Swinkels (B), Jayden Barber (B), Josh Feeney (B), Aaron O’Reilly (B), Frankie Ealing (B), Finley Munroe (B)

Midfielders: Douglas Luiz, John McGinn, Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey, Tim Iroegbunam, Boubacar Kamara, Edward Rowe (B), Taylor-Jay Hart (B), Ajani Burchall (B), Tommi O’Reilly (B), Travis Patterson (B), Kyrie Pierre (B), Kadan Young (B)

Forwards: Ollie Watkins, Moussa Diaby, Nicolo Zaniolo, Jhon Duran, Morgan Rogers, Leon Bailey

*And we clearly have included him, as he's there on your UEFA link.

[Risso]

He's on the B list apparently, which I think means you can name them up as late as the day before a game, and you can have as many as you like. Hence I've just found out we've got players called Charlie Lutz and Mikell Barnes.

I think 'absolutely essential' might be pushing it.

I dont we already have major issues in CM and mcginn missing will be a massive worry

[VillaTim]

We are going to need points in the Brighton & Palace away games and that worries me . Not to mention beating Bournemouth and Chelsea at Home .

We are 5th you know, with a +17 goal difference. We are not shit.

No but we are running on empty and down on key players and the pressure is biting .

[Drummond]

The pressure is certainly getting to some of our support.

Unlike the players and management to anywhere the same extent I bet.

[Toronto Villa]

We advise for supporters to arrive no later than 7:30pm tomorrow for our UECL match against LOSC Lille - as there will be traffic and pedestrian disruptions/road closures in place.

Charlie Lutz and Sil Swinkels - a couple of crooks from the Bronx, there's no messin'around with these guys. In and out quick as a flash, they get the job done.

[alan_clarke]

I have a spare adult and u14 ticket in Trinity Road B6 if anyone is in need?

[dave.woodhall]

My contact on l'Equipe reckons we'll have too much for them. He says our squad is stronger and they're concentrating on the league.

[Dave]

"Emery confirms that Clément Lenglet is unavailable for tomorrow with a small injury.

The boss adds that Matty Cash is still working individually following his injury, but he is close to a return to training with the group."
