So much for 2 specialists for each position.
Garcia being honed from the same crystal as Onana is a shitter.

Our injuries this side of Christmas have been awful. Last season it was summer leading up to the transfer window.

Come on Villa, let’s just get out there and play some lovely football again!

Wow, well - good luck, all. I thought we'd see Tammy starting but what the hell do I know?!

Ollie Watkins needs a great game tonight. He really does.

I guess the rumours about Cash having a hamstring problem were true then.

Out for a couple of games according to Tanwell, bruised knee.

Look on the positive side and think of it as (enforced) rotation for one league game. He's played a lot of minutes, so a two week break at this stage of the season isn't the end of the world.

Come on Villa, let’s just get out there and play some lovely football again!

After Christmas last year we ran out of centre backs and ended up playing Digne and Kamara at centre back.

Hopefully Matty is back fit by the world cup. In 2030.

Yep! I don't know whether to be thankful that we've done so well with injuries up to Christmas, or curse our luck since! Let's go for both!

Yep. Less reliable than Onana.

I’m sure we got everyone finally fit around February, but we struggled up to then with our defence being a different back four every match and missed Kamara for a huge chunk.
