Lille vs Aston Villa Match Thread

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

He isn't a part of the Euro squad.

He was injured when we named our European squad and we didn't add him in February so still ineligible now.

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.

Pretty much my thoughts.

[Villa Lew]

The best news for a long time SJM on the bench.

[PeterWithesShin]

Bring SJM on for 20 mins when we're 4-0 up.

Bogarde preferred to Garcia? Ok

I'm going to say something completely crazy.

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

Maybe if we are 2 or 3 down.

The same team that with two exceptions were awful v Wolves, actually one - Bogarde in for Cash weakens us further. Think Emery has lost his mind.

Nearly every combination out there is a poor one right now - Bogarde/Konsa, Torres/Digne, Onana/Luiz, Rogers/Watkins

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?

We said that the other week only for Watkins to start. Surprised Unai never sent Tammy out on loan, he either doesn't rate him or the photos are well kinky.

Not surprised, same system same players. I am expect the same performance, I hope Lille are shit.

Not in Europa league squad I think but Elliot is 🤷‍♂️

Ha! Indeed. Thankfully there isn't a massive Grande Canyon size gap in the centre of our midfield that gets walked through every bloody game.

I hope not, Leeds are cack and Wolves shit.

[PaulWinch again]

Right call to not play Mings. Not thrilled about Bogarde starting.

Buendia needs to turn up.

[VancouverLion]

Come on Villa, decent result and performance please & thank you.

[PeterWithesShin]

Garcia has hardly set the world alight in his appearances at RB so it's hardly a surprise he's gone with Bogey.
