Taylor Harwood-Bellis

I would start Suzuki, Wan-Bissaka.

I would actually start Harwood-Bellis again.

I think Unai is going to go back to Lindelof, but I liked what I saw out of Harwood-Bellis, and I would give him another game.

And then Mings and Ruggieri by default.

As I hinted at earlier, my preferred central midfield pairing would be Kamara and McGinn with Mbai, Manzambi, and Hemmings in front of them.

So I do think there is a little bit of biding your time and waiting for when Emery feels like you're ready.

Harwood-Bellis, for another example.

Maybe Harwood-Bellis is a little bit more like the Garnaccio one where...

He's not been injured.

He's been here still.

Would you play Lindelof on the left? Which I think he has done before.

But either way, I think Taylor Harwood-Bellis definitely deserves a start next on the weekend against Tottenham anyway.

No, I completely agree.

And obviously, we didn't see Jao Gomez.

Rodri obviously, obviously has to come in for Mattson.

Um, was certain Ti- Taylor Harwood-Bellis would come in.

Mm.

It's been like a really, a really positive thing for Villa.

Everton versus Newcastle, by the way.

So I wanna go through a couple of the new signings as little segments.

We'll start with Harwood-Bellis, who I think will play against Tottenham.

You were impressed with him.

Like, you cannot get anything wrong in Villa and, and Newcastle's positioning.

What about Harwood-Bellis?

We got that wrong.

Like, not in the Champions League squad.

At the moment, the th...

he prefers the three more senior center-backs to try and get us through this sticky period.

Harwood-Bellis will play for Villa, and by the end of the season will be first choice right center-back.

Mm.

I did watch the Watford game.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis, was it at the end? Really should score-

Mm

... with that.

Mm

... sort of time.

Um, you know, they-- I think there was a little bit of frustration that Saints didn't go out and buy another striker, maybe buy a bigger name midfielder, um, to replace Jay Charles, and obviously a defender as well to replace Tay-Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

Um, but they went and got Daniel Peretz and Kyle Larín in from their loans.

So it's Bizot and Goulds.

We're going to have Harwood-Bellis.

Sorry, we've got Harwood-Bellis and Mings with Ruggieri and Wan-Bissaka, the two fullbacks.

We have Barkley and Bogart with McGinn, Mbai and Hemmings.

Well, I suppose Mbai, McGinn, Hemmings and then Tammy Abram up top with the subs bench of Suzuki, Cash, Lindelof, Kamara, Buendia, Jackson, Garnaccio, Manzambi and Alisson.

But obviously, he's not going to play tonight.

No wonder we see Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

So tonight's team, I think, is going to be really interesting from that standpoint, the forced changes, but also in attack.

Will there be changes in attack to bring those players in, as I mentioned, the likes of...
