WHAT DO WE DISCUSS?

• Well, that certainly wasn’t the return to Europe that Aston Villa fans would have originally expected; what did the lads make of the loss in Poland?
• What can be made of the rotated lineup against Legia Warsaw on Thursday?
• Is there cause for concern at the right-back position when it comes to depth?
• Calum Chambers...yikes!
• How impressive has Jhon Duran been so far this season?
• That Zaniolo thunderbolt, which led to Duran’s goal....WOW!
• Starboy, Jacob Ramsey, returning to action has to be one of the main positives on Thursday!
• Surely we all have to expect a fair amount of rotation given Villa’s heavy schedule, right?
• How should Unai Emery approach the next match in the Europa Conference League on October 5th?
• Chelsea are next up as Unai Emery’s men travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday; how are we feeling ahead of that one?
• All of this and so much more! Enjoy the podcast and Up The Villa!
