Looks like the Ramsey brothers and Philogene-Bidacre are out then. I don't follow the U23s very closely but I'm sure I won't be alone in saying I've only heard of half of the squad, let alone seen them play

And Chuchuewueemeka or however it's spelled. Shame. He was the one I was looking forward to seeing.

Ah, it’s a bit of fun! It’ll be a good experience for the youngsters. I think we’ll lose by a fair few goals, but it’s a good learning curve for them. I don’t think losing by a few goals to the champions will affect them negatively

No, but losing by 10+ will

If the ‘better’ players have been with the first team squad recently they will have to  be quarantined aswell. We can surely only field those that have been nowhere the first team squad.

Some of those haven't even played for our U23s yet, others have only made brief appearances, an eleven from that selection would probably be second favorites in just a normal U23 league game.

Makes me wonder if we've only agreed to play this game because Liverpool themselves have assured us that they're also going to put out a U23 team.

Believe it's Chukwuemeka, imagine that on the back of your shirt. Just as well Villa don't charge for each letter

I actually have a longer name, but it's the kw the throws my language abilities off. 

My girlfriend is polish though, so i should be used to it. The amount of consonants they can put into a word is bloody impressive. If in doubt add a couple of w, c and z.

That would be really bad, but I’m sure they’ll be realistic about their chances of playing again a team of adults who are champions of England and were champions of Europe last year. I hope it’s not 10+ to nil or something though.

This is exactly the case.
