What about Barkley?
Why didn't Barry take the pen?

It's said every week in football, A two goal lead is a dangerous lead. Bologna are no mugs and know they have to score goals.

We can not afford to make too many changes. Complacency is our biggest threat but Unai will not let that happen and will make changes as soon as he considers tie won to protect booked players.

Bizot

Bogarde
Lindelof
Pau
Maatsen

Douglas Luiz
Onana
Tielemans
Buendia

Bailey
Abraham

Sancho in for Bailey if he's fit enough.
Exactly this team for Thursday. Rogers needs a rest anyway and we also need to protect yellow card situation.

Unai apparently disagrees with you both. In the presser he’s said he’s choosing the best players because they can’t miss a game we don’t qualify for.

Tbf, could be mind games. He’ll probably leave all 4 at home and play a 12-year old in goal.

Yeah, that’s what I’d expect at this stage.  Going out by playing a weaker side would be mental.  Players should be able to avoid daft yellow cards for an hour.  Finish the tie, then rest players.  If nothing else, this is the last thing we can actually win (and are favourites to do so).  Added to that, get it right and we only have a months worth of league games to really bothered about (in the context of of CL insurance if we fail to win Europa).

Most right minded Villa fans know that Rowe is going to score after about 20 mins and have us crapping ourselves until the 78th.

I have us losing narrowly 2moz but still sneaking through.
