Aston Villa v Juventus FC Pre Match

[bodkins14]

Sorry one and all just realised I'm a day early and it's still actually Tuesday and not Wednesday. It's been a long week 😴

[Brazilian Villain]

I realise it's still early doors but I have been languishing in Good Hope for a week now with a severe bladder and kidney infection with an added dose of Sepsis so am wondering if anyone had any trickles they would be willing to share. TIA

Just as long as you don't share any of your trickles.

Someone on the match thread should be able to send you a link tomorrow and hopefully a Villa win will make you feel better.

Wasn't Barkley supposed to be the defensive lynchpin at Luton last year?

Yes, you get relegated when Ross is defensive lynchpin.

[Demitri_C]

We can go 4 points clear of citeh if we win tomorrow. Thats got to be a incentive just for pure bants

[AV82EC]

Right boys, win tomorrow please, back up to 4th in the League and build the confidence before Leipzig.

Yeah that leipzig ones going to be tough so ideally we need a win tomorrow if we can get back to where we know we can be

[olaftab]

Demi any reason why Leipzig is going to be tough?

[VillaTim]

Leipzig looked horrific when they played Celtic the other week

Just they looked really good  against liverpool and were unlucky to lose. The pre season game we can't really judge as wss inly a friendly even if we lost.  Also a much tougher away game than brugges. If we play anywhere as bad as that it will be a long night. Especially  with a quality player like sesko against you

But then saying that i watched them vs celtic and they were gash. If they play like that we are more than capable of winning.

Wasn't Barkley supposed to be the defensive lynchpin at Luton last year? He's been good on the ball for us this season so far, but not showing much of the defensive nous you'd think would be vital for playing such a position.

He was more a link defence to attack and showed his ability to receive the ball deep, without the ball he is on a level with Conor Hourihane.

Tielemans increasingly looks the same. Barks has a bit more about him on the ball in general play than CH but we can't play them together in the PL again.

Without one of Kamara or Onana, we look pretty ropey out of possession.

We do, but we shouldn't.  One of our best performances was Arsenal away last year and McGinn and Tielemans were the holding midfield.  I think Emery will fix it, but I think he is also frustrated at players not playing how he wants right now.

Tomorrow will be very different, they'll sit back & wait for us to make a mistake. Hopefully we can take advantage of their injuries. It should be another great night.

I have already seen Motta's whiteboard. It just states, 'Wait for the Villa corner'.

Haha.  Indeed.  I think my head will explode if we concede another one of those goals.
