    Hope he has a plan to deal with Casemiro from set pieces as he seems to get on the end of so many crosses.

    Although I can understand the disappointment at Pau not starting we really need McGinn, Luiz and Kamara to be at it today. When they're on their game we obviously play a lot better!

    Ramsey back in starting 11 which I'm pleased about. Our bench is looking stronger but was hoping Pau would start. Anyway - let's give it our all. UTV!

    Keeps Wet Spam at least 10 points behind us unless they score 2...

    Ben Chrisene is on loan at Blackurn too and played 90 minutes in their win yesterday so another DVB to play against them...

    Although I want us to go all out for the 3 points today and try to win this match if we do end up drawing it still at least maintains the distance between Villa and United. The first goal feels key today and just hope that the best Villa turn up and not the imitation we saw against Newcastle and Chelsea at home. UTV!

    OK doesn't make the possibly interesting criteria but sharing anyway!
  12. Brumstopdogs
    Not saying a similar thing would in anyway be feasible for Villa (as don't know enough about it) but for discussion purposes...

    From a momentum perspective it would put United 5 points behind us and may well give them the belief to catch us. If we were to lose our third home match in a row you have to wonder what it would do to our confidence. It feels a big match not to lose should we want to finish in the top 5.

    One thing that has not helped the atmosphere IMO in recent home games is we seemed to not be pressing with the same intensity as in previous games. It looked too easy, from my vantage point, for Newcastle and Chelsea to play the passes they wanted to. That has a negative impact on atmosphere as does going two down in the first half of games at home. The reality is if you are 2 down the away fans are likely to be jubilant and the home fans normally subdued. Although I'd love the home fans to be singing for 90 minutes regardless it just doesn't match with what happens in real life. For the Man U game Emery has highlighted the role the fans can make so I hope those going really get behind the team but likewise not conceding early and actually Villa being at it from the off will bring the fans into the game. Fingers crossed for a special Villa Park atmosphere. UTV!

    Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich on Sky Sports Football at 5.30pm today. Real Madrid v Girona on ITV 4 also at 5.30pm today. Big games in those leagues!

    Yes is a bit concerning considering a lot of the twitter stuff regarding Villa injuries has turned out to be true!

    Fear this will end up like the Newcastle and Chelsea home matches where we only had a go when it was too late. Start Ramsey and Pau then I’ll be more confident. UTV!

    Thought he did OK when he came on and stretched the play a bit more and personally would like him to start the next match. We need to change things up a bit and would be pleased if he gets his chance.
  21. Brumstopdogs
    Fair play to him when he came on as he tried to make things happen and got himself a goal.
  22. Brumstopdogs
    Should be fresh for the weekend as hardly did anything!

    Poor marking for the second goal and looked like he could have been sent off. Not exactly impressing yet in what is a good chance for him.
  25. Brumstopdogs
    The defence is obviously weaker than we'd like it but that is where we are at due to the injuries we have but I think the main problem Emery needs to solve are in midfield. The balance and intensity of the midfiled in my opinion has not been right for quite a while now. Slow, slugglish and not one player in that midfield (McGinn, Luiz, Kamara or Tielemans) with a turn of pace or who runs with the ball consistantly. Hopefully Emery agrees and rectifies that and gets us playing with the intent to win at 0-0 rather than 0-3!
