Oh good Dier is playing

 

[TH1239]

Ndombele should have started this match. The chances Ndombele starts the Leipzig match, with Lo Celso a near certainty to start after missing out today, are minimal, since Mourinho seems to prefer Winks at the moment.

Villa are much better than their point total indicates. They always create chances and will have long spells when they're on top.

 

[Up From Dover]

Very disappointed Lo Celso has been left out.

 

[The Apprentice]

Just play fucking Skipp.

 

[Shadydan]

You guys really need to look beyond today's match.

 

[ajspurs]

Was all looking good until I saw Dier in there. I hate to say it but in his current form I just don't see one positive thing that he brings.

If we’re going to play an out and out DM against Villa, why not play one who can move? Give Skipp the opportunity. The last frw times Dier has started there, he’s been hauled off after 30’ and 45’

Should've went out on loan really

It seems Mourinho wont start Ndombele until he feels he can give the team 60 minutes

I'd rather he save that for off the pitch TBH

 

[DiamondLites]

That team made me throw up a bit in my mouth

 

[paulcumpstone]

Depressingly shite starting 11. Good luck with that mourinho

 

[freeeki]

Surprised to see Davinson ahead of Tanganga

I know but what if this team can't do the business? If only we had shit loads of talent sitting on our bench who could change the game if need be

If its wet and muddy better we get the Mudders and Mudderfckers out there...Dier and Aurier…..Get Stuck in!

He's just not been the same player since his illness.

 

[King of Otters]

Bit annoying that Ndombele (presumably) hasn’t shown enough in the break to start today.

 

[KikoSpurs]

I much rather see Skipp doing shit all day long than Eric Dier be anywhere near the pitch.

Mour

He's just not been the same player since his illness.

We are all digging out Dier but this point is true

 

[King of Otters]

He’s good at pointing at players he’s too slow to close down himself.

But he's shown he can have a real impact with a 20 minute display. Villa have injury issues so we shouldn't run into too many problems and if we do we have some real quality on the bench in Gedson, Ndombele and Lo Celso. If resting him now means we can have him have a bigger impact vs Leipzig I'm all for it.
