I'll be there. I've been a Villa fan for 40 years, and this will be my first ever live Villa game.

I am already nervous.

Wow.....where are you coming from?

I wouldn’t , for me Trézéguet is a much more natural footballer

Just in case I doubted my eyes Hourihane shits all over him in just about every relevant metric in appearances averaged this season. Specifically Trezeguet gets dispossessed an awful lot

I’ll be amazed if you still have that opinion at the end of the season

Be a tough one, this.

It's one of those annoying ones when you're scrapping at the bottom. 

A point for them will likely feel a bigger reward than it is for us.

This is a must win. Right now, I think we will.

Targett for MOTM.

Got a good feeling about this game which is never a good sign. Looking forward to it mind

yes, that excited anticipation that comes from no game in ages, to it suddenly being the very next day. All the hopes, and expectations and then we're a man down and 2-0 down by half time

I just don’t think he’s good enough for this level, he’s our weak link. The only thing he offers us is his set pieces

He really splits opinion.

For me, he could start as a "10" in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4(diamond)-2 or in a midfield three if we are expecting to have more possession, otherwise he is an impact sub.  He doesn't do enough out of possession to keep out Henry or Dougie L against good sides.

In my opinion, Hourihane is a cdm and the fact that Smith brought in two players in that position speaks volumes for Hourihane, that’s just my opinion

His best game for us was the 4-2 defeat of Norwich at Villa Park a few years back when he played off Davis and got a hat trick.  He knows where the goal is!

Hourihane a cdm?, I assume that's central defensive midfielder?

Normally cdm is clear, but I'm a bit confused that anyone would think that's his best position?, so just double checking you meant that?

He’s a natural cdm for me, that’s his best position, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was first out of the door in January

Yes, that is what I meant, do you disagree?
