Everytime I see his name I’m reminded of this.

Iban to get start surely in one of next two matches.
I do think having his European pedigree he could be one that plays against Young Boys or Berne.

I'm not averse him starting left side midfield with Digne left back in some circumstances or even have them on pitch at same time.
I wondering already who will be the best fullbacks both left and right to cope with Olise, Coman, Gnaby or Sane. Not to mention Musiala drifting around!
The Everton match today has made me even more excited for the Bayern Munich game at Villa Park!!

And another one ... Where Iban doesn't start.
I would like rotation and guess the aim to start a game some point.
Looks like Wycombe and maybe Ipswich at this rate.
That's unfair.
I think has to be considered for Bayern Munich and Man Utd though.

Absolutely nobody calls him Iban. Give it a rest.

Ian Maatsen is very good. Not many teams in the world if any have a better pair of LB s than us.

Our tactic early today seemed to be to pick out Digne with an early pass and put their right back under pressure. I thought Maatsen would have been a better option if we were to do that and it was no surprise we played much better when he came on.
