Aston Villa v Bologna FC 1909 Pre Match

[AV84]

Doesn't look like this one is on Irish TV. Dortmund against Madrid being shown instead.

Possibly on Virgin Media More, but that's not a real chanel.

I'm giving at a proper "harrumph" and staying at home due to the cost, I shall watch with arms folded, sporting a frown.

I hope the atmosphere is great though and we come through, we should do given the full squad available but Emery is ever the pragmatist and they are hard to break down looking at their results so I'll be very surprised if it's not a draw. It wouldn't be a huge setback in the grand scheme of things...


1-1

[ADVILLAFAN]

Bologna seem to draw the vast majority of their games.

Reckon it will tough to break them down, but we will win it in the end.

[eamonn]

I remember when we used to draw most of our games. A horrible experience, you never know if you're coming or going.

I’d go with

Martinez
Cash
Konsa
Pau
Maatsen
Tielemans
McGinn
Onana
Rogers
Buendia
Duran

With Ramsey finally showing a bit of form and fitness, Id be surprised if he didn't start. The dreaded Konsa at RB option might return, Carlos has recovered well from the debacle at Ipswich and I'm sure Emery will want to manage Cash's minutes. I also think it's a good time for Maatsen and Duran to start.

Amazon are showing Arsenal v Shaktar for some unbeknownst reason

I would start both Watkins and Duran I can't see Buendia starting whatsoever in replace of Ramsey or Watkins? Not how I see things.

Also I would like to give Maatsen a deserved start and Barkley a berth in midfield

Martinez
Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen
Tielemans Barkley
Ramsey Rogers
Watkins Duran

John F Gregory. Ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor.

Very true,  I think Bailey and Digne may start to 'stretch' their defence and give our midfield more space to weave their magic.

This could be similar to monstar at home last season

John "Rose like a salmon" McGinn to win it with a header?

Does anyone want my Bologna ticket? Holte End Lower, L4, Row HH, seat 111. Happy to listen to offers.

[RamboandBruno]

Against all my protestations, i folded like a deck of cards after we beat Bayern, and got properly drawn into to the champions league thang. So sitting in my normal seats for this in the Lower Holte with my teenagers. Done that sneaky thing and not really mentioned these are not part of the season ticket…unclean! My dishonesty is Hecks fault, like all the worlds ills.

2-1 (Tielemans, Onana).

Presumably you mean limited to face value?
