Not exactly the line-up I was expecting with only 1 of the new signings making the starting line-up. Typical Taylor though I guess. Not much creativity in the middle of the pitch. Thoughts?
Tbh, I think my biggest surprise is Losada not starting ahead of either Coombs or Angeldahl. If we were playing Chelsea/Arsenal/ragettes then I could understand going for the more combative players but this is Villa.Feels like a surprisingly sensible lineup to me in all honesty. We should win. The biggest problems we would likely get would happen if we tried to fit in too many new signings at once - Taylor has stayed away from that and put out a steady, functional side that should do the job.
Mostly agree with you, Losada is the exception for me though, Coombs ahead of her is a concern. It shouldn't be the difference or owt, but it puts more responsibility on Angeldahl than I'd be particularly happy about.Feels like a surprisingly sensible lineup to me in all honesty. We should win.

The first part is objectively true, the second is more subjective but given we had to come from way behind to get into the Champions League spots and overtook United in about April, it's not that controversial a read on last season.Now is it just me or are the BBC really the negative about City ,"City slow start last season"
"lucky to get into the champions league" , plus all the other negative remarks in the build up !
These two commentators are on par with Danny Mills and Andy Hinchcliffe in the Women's game.Now is it just me or are the BBC really the negative about City ,"City slow start last season"

I wish they would concentrate on the game. It’s all about anything but the football.These two commentators are on par with Danny Mills and Andy Hinchcliffe in the Women's game.
