Will need to capitalise on what will be a mental atmosphere at Anfield and take a good lead into the 2nd second leg. Madrid will rightly be favourites for this but we have the tools to beat them.

He should be starting on Sunday

We'll get Porto, we always get Porto

He’s terrible, nowhere near good enough.

They did but we decided to put all our eggs in the Tchouaméni basket and ended up with neither.

It’s not just the players that have massively underperformed this season.

Ignore that, forget Ox isn't registered. I'd play Milner instead then to give Harvey and Fab a breather

I think FSG will have to do a public apology if we don't get fully involved in the Bellingham pursuit due to the finances. We effectively sat out the summer transfer window after Tchouaméni moved to Madrid and briefed to everyone that he was our man to rebuild the midfield in 2023. You can't do that and then not sign the player.

Good appointment

Alisson -- Trent --- Konate --- Van Dijk -- Robbo -- ----- Oxlade ----- Hendo ----- Thiago ------ ------- Salah ---- Nunez ---- Carvalho ----- Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Gomez, Philips, Tsimikas, Milner, Firmino, Elliot, Bajcetic, Fabinho There's no real benefit to playing the 4-4-2 formation without a Jota or Diaz

He was awful mate! i have sympathy in the fact that his two big summer signings have been injured but he had a worse win rate than Tim Sherwood, the football was dull and he fell out with a number of players. Villa are historically a big club with ambitious owners that have continually invested in the playing squad. The owners want to challenge hence the links to Pochettino and Tuchel now, they are worlds apart from Everton in ambition.

Good news that he's back in training. He's the only player in our squad that can replace Thiago in the team.

---------------- Alisson --------------- Trent -- Gomez ----- Van Dijk -- Robbo ------ Fabinho --------- Thiago ------- Elliot -------------------------- Carvalho ------ Salah -------------- Nunez ------ Subs: Kelleher, Philips, Tsimikas, Jones, Milner, Hendo, Firmino, Bajcetic, Ox

He's got a couple of issues there, the results have been really poor considering the level of investment in the squad, the football is horrendously dull and most importantly he's lost a big chunk of the fanbase. It's a matter of when and not if he'll get the sack now.

---------------- Alisson ------------- -- Gomez -- Konate -- Van Dijk -- Robbo -- Hendo ---- Fabinho ----- Thiago -- --- Salah ----- Firmino ---- Nunez--- Subs: Kelleher, Adrian, Philips, Ramsey, Tsimikas, Milner, Elliot, Jota, Carvalho, Bajcetic

3 losses and 2 draws from our away games this season. We need the performance with the result tonight.

Same 11 as last night for me.

I know we're in a bad state at the moment but we will have way too much for Rangers. I think we can use the game to rest a couple before the Arsenal game. ----------------- Alisson ----------------- -- Trent -- Konate ---- Van Dijk -- The Greek ----- Elliot ----- Hendo ------ Thiago ------ ----- Jota ------ Nunez------- Diaz ------- Subs: Adrian, Gomez, Matip, Arthur, Milner, Fabinho, Firmino, Salah, Carvalho

The midfield looked better against Ajax and deserves another outing especially considering Hendo’s form this season.

Same line up as Ajax for me ----------------- Alisson ---------------- Trent --- Matip -------- Virg --- The Greek ---- Elliot ------ Fabinho ---- Thiago ---- ---- Salah ----- Jota ------ Luis Diaz ---- Subs: Adrian, Gomez, Robbo, Milner, Hendo, Arthur, Nunez, Firmino, Carvalho

Reinstating Eric Dier and not giving Tomori a chance is another contemptible decision. I'm hoping this gives Trent a kick up the backside to get back to his top form.

He also did well at Sociedad on loan for us, scoring against Madrid

I think you strongly look at Tielemans on a free to supplement Jude. He'll be a great free bosman to add to the squad.
