The other thing is McGinn is just going to drop into these areas, into midfield-type areas, so that Watkins can spin in behind.

You're going to have Buendia coming in into midfield areas so that, again, Watkins can spin in behind.

then you're going to have dinya raiding down one side and cash raiding down the other so i don't like from pong on the right wing but i think being away from home and looking at the spurs templates i would prefer to see rio on the right as much as that's not ideal but in this game i think i would go from pong on the right so that at least first hour he can track dinya

and do the defensive work there.

I'd have Jones at right back so that when Buendia comes in, you've got a midfielder coming in with him into areas where Jones might be more natural.

But also, what I was saying before, to try and get through their mid-block, get Jones on the ball.

I'd have Andy Robertson against McGinn.

No one knows John McGinn's game better than Andy Robertson, let's face it.

Probably deal with John McGinn's arse backing into him all the time.

And then, you know, I think in midfield, the big thing, no one has forced him to play McAllister as the deepest midfielder.

He'd had Gravenberg and Sabozlai as the deepest, and I thought they were just starting to develop quite a nice relationship.

And if you play Sabozlai on the right, you've got his legs for Kurt Jones and to help you out there.

So I would like to see Ryan Gravenberg and Dominic Sabozlai as the deepest midfield players, and I would then have McAllister, and I would give him that Richarlison role of working the keeper and the centre-back so that you can hopefully get an hour out of Izak and you're not getting Izak to...

do all them doggies and burn what sprints he has got by doing that.

I'd just sit him on Pau Torres and say, you man-to-man him and deal with it.

And then at least you've got Rio Ungamoa on the bench as well to come on.

Hopefully Mo Salah on the bench to come on.

And if Vert isn't going to make everyone ill, hopefully Florian Verts to come on for some minutes.

I think we'll lose.

if Villa were to lose, they've got a massive problem because if they lose the Europa League final, he can't, after what happened last season, Emery has then got to go to Man City on the last day of the season.
