This break on play is what we need. Willock needs to get into this game.

Trippier is being caught out all the time.

Keep calm.

It's games like this where you have to remind yourself that willock is on the pitch.

lads.

Might have been a funny camera angle.

Gordon on the right?

Into these.

Bruno for Willock but yes.

Well he's not.

Gordon for Longstaff.

Was watching the Up the Villa podcast preview and while they are confident, there was still an element of trepidation. They worry that one or two of their players can go missing and that they don't create loads of chances. It's easy to forget how feared we have become. If we start well, we will win.

Let's say we start looking at 25m or more fore Tierney.... Arsenal can't be rejecting that kind of money for a second choice left back. Tierney to us makes alot of sense. It's just his injuries that worry me.

I think his content is OK but the clickbait titles are embarrassing and desperate.

I've been saying for a while that we have been playing an elbow formation and any attacking LB would be a risk to our structure. On the other hand. If Trippier is missing, it would be nice to have 1 fullback capable of advanced play.

Does anyone watch this clickbait nonsense?

I agree entirely with TCD. 3 first teamers is about right. Then 3 younger types.

Is this code for something?

I think we will sell ASM. Not based on anything other than a hunch. We'd get 30m. We got 17 back for Wood. I'd reckon we'd get 12/14 for Lascelles, he's our captain and a PL player (albeit a limited one). Murphy is a regular for a side in 3rd. He's not a great player and we won't sell him but we'd get more than 10m for him, easy. Someone like Burnley would snap our arms off for Murphy. There's 55m of potential sales in 3 players. I'm not saying we will or we should... just that we could.

Sven.

Spot on. Said the same the other day. We've also got a couple of saleable assets for a change.

Personally think Rice is doable. If our owners think they can sign Rice, they will do it. Wages and transfer fee won't be an issue. He's a proper marquee player. He's the next england captain FFS. We would do it.

Does Mings still regularly start for them? If so, our press is going to cause them major bother. Also, you know how we often complain about home lunchtime kick offs because of a lack of atmosphere.... this should play into our hands on Saturday.

He's a full Belgium international too right? I think he'd be a safe bet but do the club want a safe bet or a future superstar? Go and get Palhinha.
