Could it be 3 at the back with Guessand and Maatsen wingbacks?

Could it be that you deserve to stabbed brutally in the face?

I didn't pick the team, don't blame me!

Or is it like Candyman or something, if we mention three at the back here it manifests on the pitch?

What has Harvey Elliott done to piss off Unai Emery?

Refused to dye his hair black and slick it back.

Yeah I think when he gets rid of the dodgy barnet, he starts.
Happy enough with that team but a tad disappointed Elliot doesn’t start.

The same thing YT did. Unai barely played him at first. Needed to adapt.

I couldn't remember which amongst us gets triggered when the system we had when we last won a trophy is suggested as an option.

I know there are others.

I think so.

2 left sided CB's in a back 4 is a bit risky.

We will see soon enough.

Yeah, CDBF would rather go on an intimate date with Katie Hopkins than watch Villa play 3 at the back. He has, at least, been consistent in his strident opposition to it.

Back 4 looks a bit dodgy to me.

Really hoped we would never see Mings at RCB again after the Brentford debacle!

Sky have gone with us playing a 4-1-2-3 with Sancho centre mid with Bogarde and Buendia left wing.

BBC have gone with almost the same but in more of a 4-3-3 with Sancho the right of the midfield 3 and Buendia left wing still.

I'm assuming both are the result of guesses.

After one game you should throw out something rather then work on it?
