A no it is? Thought so. Taylor shouldn't be in the squad. Hause, Targett, Mings. I think there's been an illness.

Yes, and tell me, was Neil Taylor playing for Brentford that day?

I suspect a fitness/illness thing. It's only the full backs starting that is wrong, but Lansbury ahead of Marvelous and no Guilbert on bench is suspicious.

They ain't better at anything. At all. Actually, Elmo crossing +1. Everything else a negative.

Not running a charity here, Taylor can do one.

Must be an illness

Didn't want to see Taylor this season and he starts first game.

Not going to believe the team I've just been told.... Heaton Elmo Engels Mings TAYLOR Grealish Hourihane McGinn El Ghazi Wes Trez

Heaton was 3 year not 5?

I honestly think he only does that when the team is struggling to get going. He doesn't hide when holding possession is difficult and the game is drifting away. He goes wherever he needs to to fetch the ball, and force the team to play. West Brom away in the playoffs he was magnificent when many around him wanted nothing to do with the ball. Due the nature of the game I think he'll be dropping deep at some point tomorrow.

It's been February the last time I came away from a matchday feeling like we'd lost. Throw in the outrageous summer and it's been 6 months solid of Villa positivity. Doubt that will ever happen again. Good luck Deano. Stick to your guns despite the drubbings we're going to pickup.

I'd really enjoy that.

Sorry, in the first team, this has not been the case. He's spooned multiple chances that were really good opportunities to score. Big fan of Davis regardless. Ideally needs one to fly in off his shin to kick start him in senior football, looks to me likes he thinks he's going to miss before he's taken a shot. Hold up play for such a young player very good.

So can we loan him out to lower leagues still? Would be incredibly beneficial to get him playing. Lad has ability but with his size, he's just got to up his game to make it at a higher level. It's possible, wee Barry has had a lovely career for himself.

Thank god that troll guy will stop posting here now.

Love this "Little" Key subbing in for Big Wes, taking up the bulling mantle in the closing moments of games.

We've ruined all future transfer windows for ourselves I know that. Spoilt rotten.

He also mentions that he trained with the team in Minnesota. I'd forgotten about that!

The boot into space for the goal v Red Bull was so great.

Minus points for not picking the real golden shot from this incident. I'll never not laugh at that face.

I'm still annoyed they didn't play bad manners on the tannoy after the playoff final.

Meh, Coutinho and Dybala. They can cut inside to their hearts' content and say hello to John McGinn's arse. Trezeguet may well have bulldozed his way into the side you know, especially with the El Ghazi knock. Their weak spot is Walker-Peters at RB. Good young player but nothing more at the moment, we can get some results down his side. Work-rate defensively and composure in possession under pressure from Grealish and McGinn essential for our success this season. Can't think of two men I'd trust more to give it **** good go. Marvelous or even Doug as DM please. We lose with Hourihane. Don't think I've ever been this excited for a season.

No chance Ben Yedder bid is real. We wouldn't spend £30m+ on guy about the turn 29. It's just too much. That sort of transfer is for January when we're 6th

Are we begging him to sign?

All the ones in here seem fine to me. Not like Leeds and Bristol City fans that keep cropping up sticking their oar in.
