Our defense is more than adequate to maintain our Premier League status. I repeat. Aston Villa is the team in Premier League that's conceded the most shots on target. I respect your opinion saying we have a good defense but stats proves otherwise. Edited October 4, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would indicate Heaton has had to make a lot of saves when I don’t think he has. Do blocks count as shots on target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find this stat that concerns you. 27 apparently, no idea how this compares to anyone else but 13 of them came from the spurs & arsenal games so doesn't seem too bad. The number of total shots faced is a bit more concerning at 121. We have actually managed 33 shots on target in the same games from 85 total shots so looks like our accuracy is a bit better than our opponents overall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I was initially against playing Jack out left but I thought (at least in the first half) the compromise Smith found last week of having him doing it in that fluid 3 behind Wesley actually worked quite well, especially with Targett there to make up for the width that would have otherwise been lost. Get Luiz in for Hourihane (who just didn't influence the game enough last week) and I'd be pretty happy with that team starting. As much as he may not like it Hourihane is probably going to be more effective off the bench for us so it's two birds with one stone in that sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Don't want to tempt fate, but I have a good feeling about this game. I think a lot of our new players are starting to settle into the Deanoball system, and this could be the game where everything comes together, against an injury-ravaged Norwich. Bookies have it pretty much same odds for every outcome, so it's going to be an interesting one, no doubt about that. However, never underestimate how good Norwich can be at home. My prediction is a 3-2 win for Villa, in a helterskelter match with lots of drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robtaylor200 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Norwich have a lot of injuries at the moment, this is the time to play them I see this as our second win of the season and climbing out of the bottom 3 for a while. If we lose this although it is early days I will start to get worried 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all love Mings, and Engels has looked good, but they are both making several mistakes each match. I'm not totally convinced by Guilbert yet. I think Targett will come good, but needs to stay free of injuries. Taylor is not good enough, although I do think he is something of a scapegoat. Agree about the Mings and Engles comment. Mings can be a warrior in defence at times but sometimes I find he is way too casual on the ball and with following his man and both of those things cost us. He is often too slow to release the ball which leads to the player who receives the ball being under immediate pressure. Love his leadership qualities but he’s got areas to improve on. Engles has looked very assured overall but was naive giving the penalty away at Arsenal and should’ve done much better in picking up his man against Burnley. Essentially, we have a good CB pairing in Engles and Mings but basic errors are costing us key goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
