parisvilla Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 My least favourite fixture on the schedule. Lost 22 of 28 in the league against these words removed since the 99/00 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 when you are playing against the best teams without a proper playmaker, without your best defender then yes for just now. if that isn't good enough for you then sorry in advance. Problem is that it is like that at home even against the lesser teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I reckon we'll lose this, i'd take a draw if it was offered now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaForever1970 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Aye. Maybe he'd prefer us to pass from the back, have 80 per cent possession and win by three or four. We try and push them wide, give their full-backs space but limit what they get in the middle and hit them on the break with Gabby's pace. So our only tactic for home games is still to play like the away team and hope to hit them on the counter then... Like against City you mean?

PaulC Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 when you are playing against the best teams without a proper playmaker, without your best defender then yes for just now. if that isn't good enough for you then sorry in advance. That method of play only works if we don't concede the first goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The bbc preview on the website makes me laugh. 'Scoring goals continues to be a problem and it goes without saying that Christian Benteke's second season is proving to be a major disappointment so far.' Its December. He was injured and is getting back to fitness. I don't think the first 5 games was a major disappointment. Drivel. 'The Belgian has gone more than 10 and a half hours without a goal, but is still Villa's top scorer with four. That alone speaks volumes.' It speakes volume that our key player form last year who is struggling a bit and we are still mid table. That our midfield is now scoring goals. That we have scored more goals than Tottenham and conceded less goals than United this season. But hey lets just have a go at Villa because they are not important. Shove this down their throats, come on the Villa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Surely nobody can see anything other than a UTD victory If we win tomorrow, forget Arsenal and Man citeh victories It will be the shock result of the season for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Surely nobody can see anything other than a UTD victory If we win tomorrow, forget Arsenal and Man citeh victories It will be the shock result of the season for me Why?? Man City and Arsenal are better teams. If we have no playmaker as HH has said then neither do United and they lack a defensive mIdfield player. We will never have a better chance to beat United. This is the worst they've been since the Premier League began. That's why i don't think its the right way to setup just to play them on the counter attack.

We play Arsenal now, we get battered, we caught them off guard on the first day City have been poor away and our record at home against them ain't too bad UTD are UTD. We are their easiest fixture historically. Villa park is like a second home to them. You see them losing their last two games as a positive for us, I see it as a negative. They are away from the pressure of the home crowd, they will not lose 3 games in a row and we are woefully under strength. If we win or even draw ill hold my hands up but it's a defeat in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shove this down their throats, come on the Villa! Exactly. We've actually had a pretty decent spread of goals this season - Kozak with 3, Benteke with 4, Gabby and Weimann with 1, KEA with 2, Westwood and Delph with 1, Bacuna with 2. It's pathetic because last season all they went on about was how we were overly reliant on Benteke for goals. words removed the lot of them.
