Marka Ragnos Posted December 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2019 So much depends upon this one — at least that's how it feels to me, like a kind of season fulcrum. I can't see it being anything but a death struggle from beginning to end. Probably a lot of cards to go 'round. Villa 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 1-1. Two games in three days is ridiculous. We play 3 games for the entire month of March. Well maybe four if we beat Leceister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 My side for this one would be: Heaton Guilbert Konsa Hause Targett Luiz Hourihane Grealish Trezeguet Wesley El Ghazi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) We need another Jack master class. Worst away side in the league against the worst home side in the league. Interesting game. Edited December 27, 2019 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elton Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hard to call this game. I’d say Watford are the clear favourites but maybe their own fans would say the opposite. Was it Smith or Bruce who said last season that he regretted not changing the team with a short space between games? Although, I don’t think that there will be many changes, maybe the following: Fred-Elmo Hourihane-Nakamba Jota-Trezeguet Kodjia-Wesley Although as Kodjia never got any minutes in place of a clearly knackered Wesley yesterday, I wonder if Wes will start again.

useless Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I think some are overrating Watford they're where they are in the table for a reason, and whilst they've just had a couple of good results they've also had some fortune in those games. If we play anywhere near as good as we're capable of playing then it really is a game we should be winning and failure to do so will be a missed opportunity. Hopefully we see a good performance and get the three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only2McInallys Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The bookies have us 3-1 to win this which says a lot about how our form is perceived at the moment. This is a must not lose game.A draw wouldn’t be a bad result keeping them 6 points behind us. i hope he doesn’t risk Mings if he isn’t ready. 1-1 Wesley for us and Deeney for them.

M_Afro Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I believe that Watford have one of the oldest teams in the league whereas we have one of the youngest. Surely that could work in our favour after such a short space in between matches? Watford have also been utter rank for most of 2019. If we can start strongly and put them under early pressure I think 3 points is there for the taking. Come on you Villa boys!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I can see nothing but a real bullying and a loss. I think Smith will start Hourihane in place of Marvellous and we'll not no attacking sub when he gets steamrollered along with everyone except Grealish. Essential we bring Fred G in to help with Deulofeu. Play conservatively first 20 mins, don't concede and ease into the game. Hold the **** ball up Wesley.

The Fun Factory Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Watford are crap and it is a chance to have clear water between us and them. We are due a good away performance surely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe four if we beat Leceister. It's always like this unless xmas is on a weekend. Then the game inbetween Boxing and NYD usually gets cut I think. Really all premier leagues games should be on Sunday like the football league are doing. Then you have 3 day gaps like in most weeks during the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good and bad times to play teams in the season. Playing Man. United or Arsenal now is obviously better than March or April when they might be on 4-5 match winning streak. This is Watford's best moment of the season, they've taken 4 points from two tough games and are playing well under the new manager. They'll be expecting to beat us so we need to match that desire from them given the importance to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I've been saying that there's a danger that they will find their form from last season and pull away like Everton look like doing, not that they will definitely survive. As it is they're currently nowhere near the team they have been in previous seasons, against Manchester United they were very lucky to be pretty much gifted both their goals and we shouldn't fear teams just because they've managed to draw with Sheffield United. The time for excuses is over now, it's time to start winning some games other than the ones in which we're favorites to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 My team for tomorrow, only possibly change is to play Codger over Jota. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2019 Heaton, Grealish, and a moment of magic from Hourihane. That is our recipe. As for the others, I don't know. Our defense looks awfully underwhelming, even if Hause/Konsa played well Thursday. Let's hope they continue that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Maybe I’m being mad, but I’d try a 4-4-1-1 with our fullbacks playing as wide midfielders: Heaton Hause Engels Konsa El Mohamady Targett Hourihane Luiz Guilbert Grealish El Ghazi Hause and El Mohamady sure us up defensively and Targett and Guilbert are both natural wide players who like to get forward and cross. They can’t be much worse than our current wingers. Ive put El Ghazi up top as I still think, for all his downfalls, gets into some good goal scoring positions. Will never happen though.
