I hope! Well after the City game we know West Ham are going to be playing for a draw from the start, so it may be a tight game 1 or 2 nil to Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we as fans were poor today too It was indeed a dreadful game..( both sides were awful)..... As for the fans....I don’t share your view....I thought our low point was at Watford. Today I thought most seemed desperate to get behind the side but were given nothing to work with. I sing for most of most games but it was impossible today. Things started badly, reached bottom, then got worse. We ended up in two groups, one hostile, and one utterly deflated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrytini Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 We needed to be competitive against sides in the lower half. We managed that pretty well the first half of the season. The second half has largely been awful. Im sad to say we have now notched up too many performances lacking in character to hold out much hope for the remainder of the season. It will be that, rather than goals scored or Conceeded that does for us. We need a dramatic and unlikely injection of character and fight if we are to stay in the mix.

Popular Post GingerCollins29 Posted February 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2020 Sod it i'll do it. Cup final next week - gets that distraction out of the way for the run in. Mcginn and davis to come back in. Smith's reaction was a first today, never seen him not defend the team and criticise them to that extent. Surely there'll be a reaction. It hopefully gives smith and the players the kick up the arse that the clock is ticking and we just need to get ooints anywhere and however we can. We still have winnable games left and those players will have a bonus in place for staying up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as this team is bipolar I wouldn’t put it passed them to upset Man City in the cup final and then pull off a few shocking wins in the coming months. As dreadful as they are at times they can also be surprisingly spectacular. Imagine what could happen when McGinn is back. (I hope they don’t rush him back though) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally when the manager turns on the players it signals the beginning of the end! He is on his way. The cup final could be the final nail. I dread to think what the score will be next week. All I know is that there is absolutely no scenario that leads to a villa victory. Not one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Cant put enough emphasis on that Spurs late goal, I think its absolutely knocked the guts right out of em, piss poor that though for professional players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have to play 5 of the "big 6" plus Wolves, Leicester and Everton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I've said a few times that we won't go down. I genuinely believe we have enough talent to stay up. McGinn back improves on that too. But I'm losing faith in the manager. Players don't look coached, what are the tactics? The motivation doesn't seem there from minute 1 in games. So right now. I'm 55 stay up, 45 go down. Last month it was 85 stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It's amazing that we're still not in the bottom 3 and still in touching distance of a couple of other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 2 hours ago, VillaChris said: Only five aways left. Leicester- zero points as they'll want revenge for the cup. Liverpool- haha. Newcastle- Got a feeling we'll win this but could easily go same way as Bournemouth and today as they're hard to break down. Everton- Used to get results at Goodison but poor recent record there and they're much improved under Ancelotti. Could be playing for europe. West Ham- Final day shoot out. Anything could happen I guess. We're more likely to pick up points at home realistically Paul. God help us then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Tell you what, if we do go down, I am SO looking forward to no VAR. Escaping that cancerous parasitic system will be almost worth going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I just can't see where the wins are going to come from and Watford have quite a few winnable home games which could be our undoing! West Ham have arguably a tougher run in than us though which is a blessing, can't rely on this team to get out of trouble really need Watford and WHU to be even shitter than us! This season has been awful when you look back at the basics we have got wrong since day one we are still doing them wrong, only the coaching staff to blame for that if it's happening consistently with no improvement.
