How on earth is Alan Smith summariser for this match???

He’s just referred to them as “we”.

McGinn, Malen and Maatsen as this games triple sub changers.

Definitely. 2 games in a short space of time, all about minutes. SJM is getting the last 25.

Don't need him, there's no ET in a league match.

We are going to get overrun in midfield.  We will need to be three up after ten.

No McGinn is a weird one. Don’t like that team.

Not really. Meatball breathes out of his arse more than Petrov. Let the man rest.

I will be delighted, ecstatic, to be proven wrong but I think we might get a bit of a hiding.

Mine too. A lot rests on Onana and I worry tielemans isn’t mobile enough to cope with runners. I won’t be watching.

I’ve put a £10 on Villa being 2-0 up and immediate cash out.

Cash is out already
