Club Brugge vs Aston Villa CL Match Thread

[Risso]

I do like that Unai is keeping faith with Bailey- I hope he repays that faith tonight with a MOTM performance, its long overdue.

I don't. He's been shite all season, and doesn't appear to be getting anywhere close to his best. How many more games do we have to play with the equivalent of ten men?

It's getting to last seasons "Diaby's going to have a great game soon" territory for me.  He is a confidence player, and needs something to come off: a long shot that goes in rather than into orbit, a dribble and assist - anything to remind him that he can be a top player.

Got to love Mings and Kamara on the pitch.

100% mate.

Buendia not getting a start though. Dont think emerys been impressed on what he has seen so far

[Brazilian Villain]

Great to see Tír Eoghain starting alongside Carlos.

We need to play him into form, otherwise when will we ever see him show what he can do? Brugge is the easiest opposition on paper we have til we're drawn against Blackburn in the FA Cup in Jan.

It's that young fella from TNT who takes three minutes to ask a question, right?

[Hookeysmith]

Maybe no one is actually dropped more SUE picking a team to combat & win tonight

[caster troy]

We really need to persist with Bailey because if he doesn't find some form I don't think we will achieve much this season. Buendia/Philogene on the right side looks pretty mid table to me.

[Villa Lew]

Pleased to see Tyrone and Kamara starting, hopefully SJM and Leon find their best form, going 2-1 Villa.

[Clampy]

Good to see Tyrone and Kamara start and I'm happy with Bailey starting. If he plays himself into form, that can only be good thing.

[Holy Trinity]

Please turn up lads!

Agree 100% with that


Stadium looks pretty empty

Yeah we need him to find form badly. Emery giving him every chance. Like the selection, great to see Mings and Kamara starting.

you can smoke in the ground ?

So before the Bologna game, Matty cash did the press conference and didn't start.  Yesterday, Onana does the press duty and doesn't start.

If I'm a player, I'm staying well away from the press conferences.
