Club Brugge KV v Aston Villa Pre match

[The Edge]

Gutted not to be there. Had to cancel last minute due to unforseen circumstances as they say. Seen plenty of videos and pics. Ian Taylor following the boys as usual and happily posing for pics. Would be fantastic to get a win and virtually guaranteed knockout stages but a draw wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm going for a 2-1 win for the Villa boys with Ollie finding his form and netting at least once.

The biggest issue with Cash in my opinion, is the sheer number of injuries he seems to pick up. He never seems to stay fit for more than 3 or 4 games at a time.

Since 1995-96 outfield players who have played in all 38 league games for the season:
Agbonlahor 2006-07 (37 starts + 1 sub)
Barry 2008-09 (38)
Bouma 2007-08 (38)
Buendia 2022-23 (27+11)
Cash 2021-22 (38)
Diaby 2023-24 (25+13)
Downing 2010-11 (38)
Ehiogu 1996-97 (38)
Konsa 2022-23 (37+1)
Laursen 2007-08 (38)
Mellberg 2002-03 (38), 2006-07 (38)
Merson 2000-01 (38)
Samuel 2002-03 (33+5), 2003-04 (38)
Southgate 1998-99 (38)
Targett 2020-21 (38)
Wright 1995-96 (38), 1996-97 (38), 1998-99 (38)

Not to sound all Klopp-like, but boy did we get screwed with the fixtures.  Played Spuds on Sunday, giving them an extra 24 hours to recover after the City game.  Then play Wednesday and Saturday away at Liverpool.  Meanwhile, Liverpool play Sat-Tue-Sat.

Meh, excuses, excuses. We rested everybody against Palace, put in a stinker, then played the rested players against Spurs, who responded by also putting in a stinker. There's another international break soon, anyway.

I hope we are going to reverse last season and this is our dodgy patch.

Agreed Risso. Ok to rotate 2 or 3 players at a time but not virtually the whole team in one go. It simply doesn’t work.

That was dreadful. Considering the time distribution started there was a queue all through and quite long at 2.15ish with average wait of 30 mins. Poor show by Villa staff.
