Aston Villa (A) - Sat 3rd Sept, 17:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Octavian]

Tough selection this week.

Surely KDB comes back in but for who????

Will leave that to the best coach in the world to decide.

Think it may sadly be Alvarez, with him coming on in the 2nd half.

Other than that think it will be same team.

 

[Octavian]

all the mint players we have and youve come up with that lol.

Rodri was immense last night so you drop him and play gundo defensive along with 2no new defenders in a back 4.

christ alive

Usually team selections are fairly sensible on here… I’d say there’s more chance of United winning the league than Pep picking the side he’s posted.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Haaland rested for Seville. Alvarez to put that final nail in Slippys coffin

He'll play at least 60 mins...the CL is what he's here for.

Håland looks ridiculously hungry to play. No way he's out of this or anything else in the near future.

I would venture to start same 11 as vs Forest. Kev coming off the bench can only demoralise and deflate the opposing team.
Haaland is looking to be even more ruthless than was thought possible and Alvarez, roaming, so far, looks like he just naturally fits in, with or without Haaland on the pitch. Looking to me like the missing pieces of Pep's puzzle may have fallen into place with the additional defenfive signings.

Yes please as I hate that Scouse twunt. I had a couple of spares last night and took my mate and his young lad to the game. They are both Leeds fans and wanted to see Kalvin in action but alas not to be. However, both of them said their player of the match was Alvarez and I agree. Should not be dropped v Villa as is a superbly natural fit for us and raring to go.

These need a firm twatting.

It is, but we go in the Aston Inn, only a couple of minutes walk. Mixed fans, Sky sports. We are staying there, so I fear a long all dayer . Free parking
60 quid.

Thanks - I was booking in there as well - went to confirm things with my daughter - then they were booked up!!

Staying at the Aston Tavern now - so that delay cost me a few bob!!

think we'll see the same team as yesterday with KDB coming in for Gundo.

Your probably right although Alvarez played the full game so he may sit this out although I hope he doesn’t..
