This is the most surprising lineup in the history of ever. There is just one change I would make, and even that one is relatively minor. I am beyond confused right now. But happy! Very very happy!

I never want anyone to get hurt

But Hernandez sneaking around and outrunning Dunne and Collins to through balls is absolutely terrifying. I would feel much better about this match if he was not on the field. Hope he’s okay. Uh… for their next match.

This is when it's kind of weird between American Football and Football.

In American football, they can cut away to commercial, but with no commercial time during match set up, we get to watch them deal with injury live. Exciting stuff.

Oh for sure.

It’s just strange to watch the whole time while the training staff is dealing with the injury since I grew up watching American football.

If a football wizard came to you right now

And gave you the following choices:

1.) You can watch the remainder of the match as-is and the chips fall where they may, or
2.) I will make it so Villa get a point out of this game, but it’s going to be 0-0 and you have to watch every second of it;

Which one would you take?

There it is.

ATTN: Referee

We really won’t be needing that injury time you were planning on giving us. End it quickly.
