Aston Villa v Bologna Match Thread

I think Unai is focusing on the FAC this season.

So long as he's not concentrating on the League Cup.

[Brend'Watkins]

Why does he keep starting Buendia? It’s weird.  And Rogers, desperately playing him back into form needs to fuckin well work soon. 

Watkins can have no complaints. 

Rogers starting is more than enough for Watkins to complain. Buendia? He's the only one other than McGinn that brings some much needed energy to the team.

Yes to all of this. Rogers has to, really has to, put in a shift tonight to suggest he’s on his way back to being a decent footballer.

[PaulWinch again]

Difference is Rogers can be more than good enough, Emi isn’t good enough to start.

[PeterWithesShin]

Difference is Rogers can be more than good enough, Emi isn’t good enough to start.

Exactly, and is why Bizot is starting.

[Villa Lew]

Don't understand, why Elliott is not starting.

[Martyn Smith]

I have one of those tops and a half zip claret one on its way. What a great design the navy one is.

Sure I had a top very similar to that in around 1982

[JUAN PABLO]

Rogers again ...  needs benching and Id have started Elliot and even sancho .  The back 4 Id have gone with.

[Louzie0]

Don't understand, why Elliott is not starting.

Hopefully he’ll be an impact sub around 60 minutes 👍

[Tuscans]

Martinez has muscle pain

[Martyn Smith]

This smacks of wanting to keep plenty aside for if the game needs rescuing

So, the home of bolognese is visiting Spaghetti Junction

Pretty sure I'm the first to have made that observation...

[JUAN PABLO]

Nice to see young Oakley on the bench. If he's called upon, let's hope the sound of the crowd gives him a lift.

Probably more The Black Hit of Space given the starting XI.

I might stick some human league after now .. love that song.

Martinez signed a pre contract with Man United.  Only his signature though so far.

[BoVillan esq]

Odd line up, glad he's starting Guessand, Rogers? really, This should be interesting.

[eamonn]

Da fuq?

Keep feeling fascination!

[Pete3206]

Guessand is shite.
