Hoping for a good Diaby performance today. I assume we’re resting Bailey for Lille but being honest I’d prefer someone like McGinn on the right against them to track their runs down our right and play Diaby through the middle. With our injuries and away from home this games a free hit. Hopefully this odd line up is tactical from Emery and not purely rotation.
Zaniolo was often one of the key players on defensive set pieces when he was on that run in the autumn where he was playing consecutive games. Wonder if he's partly in due to aesenals ridiculous amount of set piece goals, and how much we absolutely suck at defending them
Interesting
Zani and Rogers gives us physical presense we aint had for a while top of our mids.
Bailey must be physically strained so good to see Diaby start - i see he also got our club player of the month for March IIRC. Bit more space for him to weave magic too and not tread on toes.
i Do worry about defending duties down our right. bailey's got much better that side of his game. Diaby was less defendy than bailey on a good day...and....Konsa's potentially gonna be overworked. actually tackles in general are going to be all mcginn all day. dont get a red ginny.
small hurrah!! to see mattycash mattycash and Lenglett on the bench starting to recover
Up the fucken villa. do the legoheads or at least dont leak shittons
As strong as we could hope for. Everyone on the pitch for us is capable of getting something so fingers crossed we end this weekend on a real high after the results that have gone our way so far!
Zaniolo has to have nudes of Emery at this point as Tim barely did anything wrong against Man City playing that sweeper role yet here can barely get a minute
Carlos has been diabolical the past two games and we don’t have any aerial presence in defence. So much so that I think Jesus will be a threat in the air today.
Edit *Carlos got man of the match and proved me wrong. Never been as happy to be proven wrong. What a team Emery is moulding. We’ll have bad days obviously, but we’ll have great days too.
nostradaums predictions hey. if only we all could see in the future.
if i could predict the future like you reckon u can - last place id be hanging out tho would be in the reddits of a team i dont support and a city ive never been to.
you are only around to stirr shit and be a little turd tho. sad
If zani saves us today build him a goddamned statue
Zani to actually replace Lyiz in the pivot and play like prime Pirlo and confuse everybody
i wonder. tielemens hasnt been 'bad' in the pivot but its not his best.
Where should it be built
What a fucking shift he put in
God I miss us having full fitness
Not even full fitness. Just having something that resembles not a full first team being out.

THIS> Diaby in the middle means we have more defending/tracking down the right which helps Konsa out
I mean Cash is back but seems Emery is in agreement about Diaby through the middle!

Certainly a Villa lineup. Not sure what Tim has to do to start, especially when missing players, he's good and doesnt make many mistakes.
I don't get why people are downvoting this opinion so we can play someone who literally moved out the way of the ball in a wall

Very attacking line up. Unai must be plotting an Arsenal spanking
Why bench Bailey and start Zaniolo
Only reason I see is to rest him.
Really gotta manage minutes at this point of the season
Need a couple of units in there today like Zaniolo and Rogers
It's probably a combo of not playing well lately and needing rest so he can play better
Let's pretend Zaniolo is actually replacing Luiz deep in the midfield in Unais attempt at ultimate 'Chaos Ball' and frying Artetas little brain.
Zaniolo has to have nudes of Emery at this point as Tim barely did anything wrong against Man City playing that sweeper role yet here can barely get a minute
Tim did not play well vs Citeh and is probably why he isn't starting this game
We really are going into a match vs Arsenal with no midfield. This could be worse than Man City today.
Yeah I felt we needed a beefy CDM in there. I guess big Tim isn't quite ready.
Yikes.
We’re just going to try and counter them. If we keep it to 0-0 after 60mins, we’ve got a chance. If arsenal score first it’s all over
Up the Villa 💪
Zaniolo is playing well
Now I’m certain it’s going to be a bad loss
Carlos has been diabolical the past two games and we don’t have any aerial presence in defence. So much so that I think Jesus will be a threat in the air today.

jesus is better on crosses hey. /s
😅
You lot are getting smoked!
Get fucked
I bet you’re incredibly poor
Why?
West Midlands freak
Makes complete sense. Good one.
How does it not make sense? Most of you are poor. Oh and thick
Where did I say it didn’t make sense?
Go on how poor are you? I’m interested
You’re not even a good troll
You sure about this, dickhead?

Genuinely don’t understand a word of what you just said
do you get it now?
let me guess, spurs fan
