Would be very handy if Zaniolo could reprise his torture of Ben White for the Liverpool right back

You mean, the person they call "Trent" ?

I believe this is the popular nomenclature.

[Monty]

It will never not aggravate me that he has three names, and that the only real surname among them is his first name.

Zanzi bar when he hits the woodwork
Zanni greatest achievement at Villa Park so far is the goal against Sheffield Utd  Wham bang thank you Zan!

I'm not filled with much hope today; though I suspect they may rest some players, and use some young ones with plenty of energy to run us around and then the big guns later to finish us off.

They are just playing for points now, as 3rd is their spot, so I'm hoping for a good performance from us, I just can't see us having the energy required.

The hope is even with the best will in the world, when you've nothing to play for as a result of you ballsing up like they have you just can't play at the same intensity and that levels up with our fatigue.

That's not what I call him.

[Brend'Watkins]

And I might add, 4th is in our own hands so they really need to show up tonight.

Absolutely. I'm hoping we score early, and that gives the crowd and the players belief. Early goal the other way and it could plummet.

[Risso]

We just need somebody back who can play in midfield. If we have to start Bailey and Diaby again, we'll get absolutely stuffed. If Tielemans is back, we'll look a different proposition hopefully.

I can do 20 mins tops if needed.

[Drummond]

yep, someone who can hold the ball and find a pass.

I was also thinking earlier if we had someone who could cross like Elmo we'd have 5-10 more goals this season .
