LILLE 🇫🇷: Özer; Tiago Santos, Mbemba, Mandi, Perraud; André, Mukau, Bentaleb; Haraldsson, Perrin; Giroud

Well. At least Bailey's not starting. I suppose you have to be thankful for small mercies.

[cdbearsfan]

Giroud starts. ☹️

[Monty]

On the one hand, lol. On the other, McGinn on the bench!

Somebody needs to get hold of those compromising photos Watkins has of Unai and burn them. This is beyond ridiculous now.

Villa 2-0 win (Watkins 2)

This means Tammy starts on Sunday. I think. Surely. Like, surely, come on. Please?

[PhilVill]

Hmmmmmm.

It would be fascinating to learn the reason we bought Abraham.

[cdbearsfan]

I'm going to say something completely crazy.

I reckon Elliott will get on at some stage this evening.

[PeterWithesShin]

For me the only debates are RB and CF, otherwise that's about as good as we can put out at present. And i'd have gone for Bogey over Garcia. I would have started Tammy though. Might have put a bit of fire into Ollie to be rotated.

I was hoping to see Ross Barkley in for Buendia but he hasn't made the squad, is he injured?

[DB]

Watkins and Buendia...ok.
Please justify Emery's faith in you later.

Even moreso given we sacrificed the one striker that could actually kick a ball with some conviction to bring him in.
