Villa will play against Burnley on Thursday. That’s good for us but probably Steven G gonna rest his good players.
Why would he rest his best players? To annoy us in the forum?

Not a day for the faint of heart in the bluemoon match day thread.We'll piss it, but fans are going to be panicking if we don't score in the first ten.
I think Liverpool will drop more points yet anyway.

Hopefully he will prove his professionalism by playing full strength.
Do you not think as someone who bleeds Red,there may be a chance he could tinker his line up?

Possibly but I think the fact that it’s v a team fighting for safety means more scrutiny especially if Leeds etc feel they are cheated. Fingers crossed anyway. I think slippy would be grown up enough to ensure the integrity of the competition. Certainly sure his employer would insist.Hopefully he will prove his professionalism by playing full strength.

The meltdown if he does will be fucking epic,lol.Possibly but I think the fact that it’s v a team fighting for safety means more scrutiny especially if Leeds etc feel they are cheated.

Makes no odds to me,if we cant beat their best version of themselves then its only on us.
But which ones? Palmer, McAtee, Delap, Edosie, Lavia, Mbete, Egan-Riley, Kayky, Wilson-Esbrand have all been in the first team squad at some time this season. Some of them would have had more opportunities but for injuries.Just saying but if we'd actually exposed some of our younger squad players to match time then we'd maybe have a clue as to whether they would be up to it rather than rely on a crocked regular .
So which of those players should have been given enough time, say 4 or 5 games, to decide whether they would be up to it? Can’t be all of them.
It would be great just now if Egan-Riley and Mbete had had a run of games to prove themselves, because they play in the positions where we have the injury crisis. But what if the injury crisis had been in a different area? I don’t think I’m unfair on Egan-Riley to suggest that if you didn’t know in advance where the injury crisis would be, he wouldn’t have at the top of the pecking order in terms of which young players should be given more experience.

So let me get this right, he is going to focus more on trying to get 3 points away at the champions than he is at home to Burnley?Villa will play against Burnley on Thursday. That’s good for us but probably Steven G gonna rest his good players.
I myself bleed red also, but I take your point as it is a well known fact that Mark Noble, for example, bleeds both claret and blueHopefully he will prove his professionalism by playing full strength.

I would love to see the reaction of their fans when he sends the reserves out for the final home match of the seasonSo let me get this right, he is going to focus more on trying to get 3 points away at the champions than he is at home to Burnley?
