    Voted Emi MOTM, for the one save. McGinn not listed, but he did ok. Ref truly abysmal. Fringe players didn't take their chances, becoming a recurring theme. Job half done, but it was poor let's not pretend otherwise.

    You've tempted me to do a best Villa / Spurs XI (this season form), probably done before (by me ); Martinez Konsa Van De Ven Torres Udogie Bentancur Luiz Bailey Maddison Son Watkins Subs: Vicario, Romero, Lenglet, Digne, McGinn, Tielemans, Kulusevski, Johnson, Richarlison. Note this would look quite differently but for injuries, with the likes of Mings, Kamara and Buendia all featuring somewhere above! Anyway, the match itself - Toss of a coin, but I think we will edge it.. 4-1

    Martinez. Cash. Konsa. Lenglet. Digne. Bailey. McGinn. Luiz. Ramsey. Tielemans. Watkins. Rogers if Ramsey is injured. Start strong, mean business, hopefully if we're in a good place (ie 2 up) after 60 start resting a few. I'd be more than happy with a slow, turgid 0-0 then get the job done at VP. I've been pretty accurate with my last 3 predictions so I should keep quiet with this one, because I could easily see 1-1 or 2-1 them. Hopefully not though obviously. UTV.

    Had a bet builder for £25 +1.5 goals first half ️ Saka assist ️ +5.5 goals FT ️ Arsenal win ️ 20 booking points Sheff U ️ One tackle all game!!! For that alone I hope they rot in lower leagues forever.. Oh and Wilder!

    I think it will be the same team that started Saturday, with Konsa on the bench. And depending on how things are going I think we might see him replacing Pau on the hour, with Lenglet switching to the left side. Still feel confident about this one, without arrogance, 1-3.
  7. WakefieldVillan
    Oh, don't get me wrong, I think he will take one for sure. I just personally wouldn't include him in my list of 5... though I'd still be very hopeful he would find the net if or when it happens.
  8. WakefieldVillan
    Don't often get score predictions correct, but said we'd win 2-1 at Fulham and beat Forest either 4-2 or 4-3. Therefore I'm going 0-5 to Villa . No, unfortunately it will be closer, but I think we will come out on top, 1-3.
  9. WakefieldVillan
    Good point re Tielemans. A lot would depend whos left on the pitch after 120+ mins.
  10. WakefieldVillan
    I love Ollie and he's playing very well, scoring goals, with some clinical finishing too - but I genuinely wouldn't have him taking one of the first five. I think he's took 9 in his career and missed FIVE! 1. Luiz. 2. Tielemans. 3. McGinn. 4. Digne. 5. Torres. There's not many in our squad I actually wouldn't fancy to score though including Emi
  11. WakefieldVillan
    Apart from Zagreb all the teams that played away in the second leg went through which surprises me. I would have thought playing at home in the second leg would be advantageous. Might need to be wary of that.
  12. WakefieldVillan
    Was always a good striker, but feel like he's reached a whole new level under Emery. The two finishes against Fulham were tremendous. A must for the Euros, but you never know under Southgate
  13. WakefieldVillan
    Two week on and although the gap has got closer between us and Man U, I feel like the performance against them, plus the two victories away, gives me confidence we can still do this. Us 49 Man U 44 points, effectively an extra point for our GD - So 6 points between us, with 39 points to play for. I think they will get 9 points from their next 4, but the big ones for them will be the next 5 after that (Brentford (A), Chelsea (A), Liverpool (H), Bournemouth (A), Newcastle (H)) Pick a number between 1 and 15 points out of that lot! I say 15 but I genuinely hope that it's no more than 6!
  14. WakefieldVillan
    I agree. We can't afford to be complacent that's for sure. They've beaten us once already, and they went to St James Park not that long ago and turned them over, which is no mean feat. They have pace up top which could hurt us, BUT, at home, I'd like to think we will have too much for them. 3-2 or 4-2 wouldn't surprise me. Same team.
  15. WakefieldVillan
    Watkins MOTM - 2 clinical finishes and tireless as ever. Closely followed by Pau, McGinn and Emi who all had great games. Sloppy goal to concede which made it closer than it ought to be, but this was a fantastic result and decent performance. Feels like a pivotal victory this one!
  16. WakefieldVillan
    Still stick with this, but Lenglet for Carlos
  17. WakefieldVillan
    Without stating the usual cliché, which I'm about to do.. We just have to take it game by game and not look any further than the next game, which is Fulham. If we win that, it sets us up brilliantly for Forest at VP then going to Kenilworth Rd after 2 straight wins and confidence will be high... But we lose against Fulham and it puts added pressure on Forest, and imagine we go 1-0 down in that to a quick counter... well.. that scenario doesn't bear thinking about... I still believe we finish between 4th - 6th, I think you have to be extremely optimistic or pessimistic to think higher or lower than those positions.

    After the performance against United, (not the result), I was feeling optimistic about this one, but the news of Kamara's injury and no return date set for Konsa it's left me feeling pretty deflated. I think I'd try to keep it as similar as last time out, Pau for Lenglet IF fit & Tim for Kamara. I think he is a more like for like replacement and hopefully we can keep the fluency from yesterday, but with a killer instinct. Martinez Cash. Carlos. Torres. Moreno. Tim. Luiz. Bailey. McGinn. Ramsey. Watkins. Bench; Olsen, Digne, Lenglet, Diaby, Tielemans, Zaniolo, Rogers, KKH, Chambers. Hard one to predict, they're much better at home than away, won two back to back home games 5-0 in December, beat Arsenal and lost to Burnley, so quite inconsistent. They have good players, dangerous players, but without being disrespectful I'd only have Palhinha from the two starting elevens. F.. it... 1-2 Bailey, Watkins.
  19. WakefieldVillan
    Gutted by the result (though it's not a surprise against this lot), encouraged by the performance. If, IF, we can can beat Fulham, I could see 3 wins on the spin. Play like we did today (but bring more clinical) & we'll be just fine.
  20. WakefieldVillan
    Best game he's had since his return from injury and its promising moving forward. End product lacking unfortunately.
  21. WakefieldVillan
    Oh I don't for one minute think Luiz will be dropped, and I really hope he puts in a stellar performance, I just think he was so passive on Wednesday (along with others) and perhaps still recovering from illness. We looked short on legs too Wednesday night, hence my inclusion of Ramsey. It wouldn't surprise me to see the same starting eleven (believe it or not) Pau the only possible change (fitness aside).
  22. WakefieldVillan
    Could name various team line ups for this but at the end of day whoever starts needs to be 100% up for it and show a lot more desire than they did on Wednesday night or it will be another loss! I think I'd like to see Bailey, Watkins and Diaby in a front 3 and basically just go for it. You'll score but we will score more than you kinda attitude. Maybe this behind them with the back four being more conservative; Emi. Cash. Carlos. Pau. Moreno. McGinn. Kamara. Ramsey. Bailey. Watkins. Diaby. Hope Pau can start and is up to speed, Carlos only gets in in front of Lenglet cos he's a right footer! Hoping Diabys decent cameo finally brings about an upturn in his form I'd take 1-1 now all day long. I haven't said 0-0 because we definitely won't keep a clean sheet. UTV
  23. WakefieldVillan
    I think you're being kind with a 6! To be fair, I always feel when McGinn plays well, we do, and vice versa. Need an absolute monster performance from him on Sunday!
  24. WakefieldVillan
    Correct. And his half hearted tackle on Gallagher for their first goal. He was better than one player tonight - Kamara! But to be fair no one played well.
  25. WakefieldVillan
    Had a bad feeling pre match, all the talk about us being clear favourites, they've still an abundance of good players who are under performing - till tonight. The midfield was sooo poor though, so many sloppy passes (Kamara), half hearted challenges (Luiz), running in treacle (McGinn) - they cut through us with ease. Couple of decisions went against us but overall best side won by far. Need a massive reaction on Sunday, and Pau/Digne back ideally.
