TBH, apart from the keeper, their team is a strong line-up, I thought he might have played some of the kids.

But ratface starts.

As does Isak for Newcastle (shocking as that might be).

Today, I am annoying going to miss the 2nd half due to being on a flight as a passenger.

I just hope that everything goes to plan and I can celebrate on the way back to East Mids later on.

Come on Villa!

Have a good flight Chris. I'll be on a TGV from Paris to Marseille. Praying for a decent connection.

Torres over Mings. Why am I not surprised. I just hope Unai gets us on the front foot from the first minute not the usual 46th. An early Villa goal and these will collapse like a house of cards. FTF.

As long as it achieves the results it has of late then I’m not fussed how we do it. We tend to win, so just do that again.

That Villa team and bench is incredibly strong.
Doesn’t matter if it’s 1-0 to us or 10-0 to us.

We just need to win.

I don't see why anyone would be surprised that he's playing his first choice left centre-back.

Very MON. When it doesn't work it's generally because we've shown teams too much respect. I'd prefer not to be biting my nails hoping we can get a winner with 5 minutes and added time rather than feet up at half time cheering on Forest and Everton whilst laughing at the exodus at Old Trafford.

I was digging Torres out a few weeks ago, but to be fair to him he's been solid defensively for a few games now.

His not ours unless you don't like clean sheets. I'll leave it there before I turn into Percy.

It might actually matter if it was 10-0 to us though.

But in terms of who starts the matches, "his" is the most important thing.
