With the horrendous news that Buendia has suffered a bad knee injury, our left side is really worrisome.

I wonder if we see Tielemans in and either him or Dougie moved to that advanced/left sided midfield role now. Might be a big ask for JPB to start day 1. Coutinho maybe?

Big blow and a big call to be made by Emery in the very first weekend.

Coutinho, Bailey, McGinn JPB and Diaby will all play there before either Luiz or Tielemans.

If we stick to the same shape, should be JPB. Between him and Bailey I suppose.

If Emery wants to solidify it a bit, we might move Luiz forward and start Tielemans, doubt it though, Doug been immense in that position every game in preseason.

Huge chance for Bailey and JPB

I just think Bailey needs to produce. No excuses. The guy makes more than £5m a year off the Villa. Four goals in league play last year isn't good enough. Come on, Leon!!!!

Agree.

Fact: He'll get praise if he plays well and grumbles if he plays shit.

Opinion: The same banal faces will misunderstand the term 'Scapegoat' for the millionth time following any criticism of his performance.

Yeah, his hands, his feet, and that bloody crown of thorns…

Rumours of a spear to the ribs too. 
 

He tends to recover quite quickly though.

Sticking with this - there will be a lot of pressure on Digne to get up and down that left hand side - we're going to need a big game from him.

A common criticism I see of Bailey by Villa fans but in my opinion a short-sighted one. Watch the Villa video that shows every one of our goals from last season and then count how many he played a significant part in...
