Aston Villa v FC Salzburg Pre-match

[cdbearsfan]

I'd rather play second legs away than have Onana out for the rest of the season. Get him rested. Don't even let him train, walk under any ladders or open any threads that were started by Toronto Villa.

The bubble wrap and cotton wool doesn’t seem to work for us. I’d play our strongest side as the more we try to prevent injuries our players get injured nevertheless. Martinez will probably injure himself sleeping on the wrong side.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

We would be genuinely mental to risk Onana in this. I'd be reluctant to use Bogarde, either.

Maatsen has played in midfield for the Dutch U21s.

I'd be tempted to try him and Bogarde.

I think he played in midfield when he was on loan at Burnley as well.

You just know if we did that some other poor sod would get crocked after 5 minutes and he’d have to come on anyway.

I hope George Hemmings has a few box sets lined up to keep himself occupied, just in case.

Absolutely. Especially the TV element.

Moscow. MON. It's time.

Good time for the club to cut ticket prices and ensure a big crowd on Thurs. Players deserve to huge support in light of everything.

And he's moved there when Digne has come on in the last two games!
He's certainly got a lot of energy!

[Percy McCarthy]

Are Bailey and Tammy cup tied?

The new ‘why didn’t Barry take the penalty’?

[JJ-AV]

This is Unai’s 4th season with us and some people still don’t get him or how he works
he likes games, he likes playing football matches, he won’t go full on weak he’ll mix it up like he’s done for the last 3 seasons in European competition
then he’ll use most if not all of his subs to rotate the players playing time

He’ll do the same in the FA cup
He knows what he’s doing

Yeah, agree

It's okay, we've sorted him out a driver/minder/gofer. Guess which one of our members has got the job?

[cdbearsfan]

I hope Amadou has home/fire/pet/meteorite insurance.

[brontebilly]

Mings might be needed for Brentford. Torres tends to play very well in Europe so maybe start him. Good to have choices anyway.
