chrisp65 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Zaniolo not even on the bench? A rare tactical error there by Unai imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t play for Villa in these qualifiers because he has already been involved in Euro competition (he can play in the group stages). So putting him on the bench (if not technically against the rules) would be pointless and block a bench slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Kamara and Luiz starting is weird for me. Would have thought Dendoncker would be a shoo-in Didn't he just return to training yesterday?

VILLAMARV Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Guy doesn't know what he's doing. Can't believe he hasn't picked Zaniolo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being realistic, I’d like to think that by the 80th minute we’re going to be 7 or 8 goals clear over the two legs. 10 minutes to bed him in could be worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take nothing for granted, and I'm sure the players themselves want to play. That's the beauty of having a cohesive, happy winning team, every member of that squad wants to play their part.

The amount of times that's been mentioned and still fans wondering why he's absent. Smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted August 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2023 Just seeing the lineup now. I'm surprised Zaniolo is not on the team sheet. I wonder if he's cup tied or something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
