tinker Posted May 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2018 Need to start this game at a high pace and put some real pressure on their back 4, drag their attacking player back into defense right from the off. Get the music pumping in the dressing room give a churchillllian type speech. I'm sure whoever scores first will end up in the final. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) From what i gathered from the press conference. We will sit back and contain them and try to 'remain' in the fixture by the time we goto Villa Park. He believes 40% of their goals are from set pieces. Our experience is vital. Whelan and Jedinak will both start with Grealish ahead of them. Edited May 11, 2018 by KSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily implode as we have done in the past making the 2nd leg a almost impossible task. If we can somehow sneak a draw id be confident at villa park of a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can somehow sneak a draw id be confident at villa park of a win I think thats what Bruce has in mind. Just because we are at home doesnt mean we are going to win. Go out there and win away. I agree if we sit back.. Adama will kill us eventually. Bad plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Unless it's all mind games. Make it out that we're going to be a passive observer tomorrow and then when we come out of the gates fast we startle them. It's hard to know as I am sure Bruce knows better than to giveaway our game plan 24 hours ahead of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so typical of what villa would do make it look like game over and then somehow almost throw it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suprised pulis has told us the team already he must be feeling very confident the arrogant sod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make Pulis feel even more confident that he can all out attack, I just don't think Bruce will tell our opponents what we're going to do for the full 90 minutes.

I dont know how i feel with bamford being a sub he is certainly very good at this level. If we can keep adama and assembolonga or whatever his name is quiet. Downing is also dangerous but he is slow as hell so if we can ensure he is closed down quickly I fancy our chances.

Daweii Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 @Demitri_C I think we'll be fine. We know their danger men and will likely try our best to keep them quiet while they are in possession, but I hope the plan is that when we're in possession we take the game to them. The last thing I want is for Villa to get this far and then throw it away by not fighting. We have nullified so many powerful teams this season while still playing football that gets at least a goal or two per game, we need to play like that again tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fear we may do a wolves away and just not turn up leaving us too much to do 2nd leg. I certainly agree we should be taking the game to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great so sit back and invite all the play into our final third where the majority of any set pieces they get will give them goal scoring opportunities.

If he does, I’d say it’s a poor selection....it’ll one of them plus CH (or Josh, who is in a bit of form) as it has been so often, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
