Aston Villa banter 3

Scandinavian teams are notoriously tricky to play against.
Feel this will be no different tonight.
There could be a surprise in store for us.

Looks like we're playing three at the back, midfield four and three up front.
Quite a lineup, just hope it works out.

Injuries continue to impact on us, left back is a big problem. Hopefully Manzambi is being rested for Saturday and is not injured or nothing to stop him playing Saturday.
Mings could well be left back,with Torres and Lindalof in central defence Cash right back.
Buendia will replace Manzambi.

Mcginn Kamara, Jackson, Mbye, Barkley will make up the rest. Viking will be no pushover, Munich found that out last week,they scored three against them. 9 points will put us in a good position to proceed in the later rounds of the competition, let's hope we continue our winning run.

No recognised fullback in the starting XI. Have to say I'm very surprised.
Be really interesting to see how we lineup.

Great game yesterday, they threw the kitchen sink at us and we stood firm, and away from home. they done their best to hurt multiple villa players. jackson and manzambi look great, Lindelof MOTM for me. things are looking up apart from the injuries. great 3 points, Emery is working us up the table nicely.
UTV.

How has Botman escaped a straight red tonight?
Joelinton could quite easily have had 2 yellows in any other game. The officials really do have to get a grip of some of these challenges.
AWB injured now. How many weeks before Maatsen and Ruggeri are back?

Mastsen back against the cheating scumbags this weekend.

Once again, funny how everyone, except for the ref and his minions, thought it was a Red card.

Lindelof was class again. I thought he was limping a little at the end I hope he doesn't have an injury because if he does, with Wan Bissaka likely to be out as well I do worry for us defensively. We should have been out of sight by halftime, but as has been said we dug in and got the result.

I thought Botman should have gone for what was an over the ball challenge which bordered on one of the old scissors challenges which I think are now automatic red cards. I wonder if Mings has committed that challenge whether the decision would have been different.
