Club Brugge KV v Aston Villa Pre Match Thread.

[PaulWinch again]

Very important to our build up play that Pau is back.

[Demitri_C]

I dont think pau will start tbh. I exoect he will come on as a sub.

I think we might go in mings -konsa at cb

[BoVillan esq]

The inclusion of Rashford should prove a massive difference from the first game earlier in the competition, lets not forget only a huge error was the difference, think we can go and win this.

2-1 Villa

Pau's just coming back from a couple of months out, it might be better to save him for the second leg.

-------- Martinez ----------
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
-- McGinn  -- Tielemans--
Ascensio-------- Rogers
--- Rashford - Watkins --

[London Villan]

We need Torres and Kamara back. These two give us the control we’ve been missing.

Replace Miings with Disasi, rest Tielemans  and play Bogard and your team is decent.

Possible good shout. Either way we will have a strong bench which is going to be vital now we are entering the business end of the season.

[PaulWinch again]

Need to be a hell of a lot better than we were last time.

[Hookeysmith]

Bit more confident with some big hitters back in the frame.

A fully fit kamara and I do not see a starting place for mcginn same can be said for Mings with Pau, Cash with Garcia

Time for the new guard to take over

[brontebilly]

With the Torres news I wonder if Konsa might be back at right-back.

Nurse!

[olaftab]

Need to be a hell of a lot better than we were last time.

I would say we need to be only slightly  better than the last time.

[VillaTim]

The starting XI don't necessarily win the game . It's the finishing XI .
This is where Emery is elite.

Mings isnt the same player since his injury and Cash has missed too many games this season. So fair enough with those two. But McGinn is as resilient as ever, good luck to anyone trying to take his place.

Torres has to prove himself all over again for me.

To be fair you also said this was a bye. They’ve just comfortably put out the Europa League winners. We need to be at it.
