[BoVillan esq]

Welcome to Aston Villa Alysson.

Second that, so many of these pundit expert analysis of the guy, how he's not up to the Premiership, he may be made for it, at this point we just don't know.

Welcome.

[London Villan]

In the squad for tomorrow?

[Somniloquism]

No. Specifically mentioned by Emery as being a missing player.

If Dan Burn can become an England international, anything's possible.

Will be making his debut tomorrow.  Could be interesting.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I was only expecting to see him play the other side of summer.

cool , where did you read that ?

Hope this doesn't mean a very make-shift team for the cup?

Think it's a case of rotating the squad sensibly.  We've got 2 games a week, every week, up to the start of February and a very realistic chance of going deep in the Europa League.  You'd also look at our fixture list up to March and think - I'd take our run of fixtures over Arsenal's or Man City's.

We don't play Everton until the 18th.

No one heard his last name? I ain't asked.

[algy]

But we did play Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace this week just passed, and Arsenal a few days before that.

Honestly, my considered opinion is that I couldn't give a flying fuck about the FA Cup this season, and I suspect Emery is of the same mind.  Bigger fish to fry.

We don't play Everton until the 18th.

True, but that's till in the middle of a run of 11 games in less than 6 weeks, it's a pretty hectic period of the season and we haven't really had many chances to either rest players or give extended minutes to the fringe players, not helped by injuries, bans and Afcon. I can see why Emery may decide to use this game to mix things up a little, probably not as much as some would like though.

Assume he can't play in Europa until knockout stages?
