LakotaDakota Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Won't be easy given our pathetic performance against them 3 weeks ago but we will/should have a much different starting 11 tonight with perhaps only 4 (possibly 5) players on the pitch that started the previous tie. Mings back should help deal/cope with Deeney if nothing else. This is how we lined up in December : Heaton Elmo, Konsa, House, Targett Jota, Luiz, Hourihane, Lansbury, Grealish Wesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Surely we're looking to not get done twice by them but rather get a little bit of revenge for last game. I want to see us go out there and stick it to them! someone is going to have to pull these smug bastards back to planet earth and show them they're not upper table material and that better be us. UTV! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 That was a terrible selection. Totally the wrong match to start Jota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 We'll get out-fought an lose is my initial thought. I'm hoping that our football can win the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Had a dream Vassilev slid in Jack for the opening goal right after the first kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I let him down gently? guessing he has never seen us play if he's really excited... Chelsea V Arsenal starts at 8.15 if the first half is as terrible as last week and you want to put him out of his misery Just show him this gif : Sums up being a villa fan pretty well, the odd moment of joy followed quickly by reality coming crashing down.

He will probably play with pain killers and get the standard Villa freak accidental elbow to the head by Deaney where Fred gets booked for simulation and is out for 3 months.

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Need to play Vassilev. Have to limit the time their defenders have on the ball. Need better ball retention. More of that fancy Brazilian shizzle we saw in that little spell against Leicester!! Need to be clever and draw the fouls out of their midfield players. Get a few of them on a few yellows and that will help to nullify the physical advantage they have. But most of all we need to show some bollox!! Go out there and take it to them! Play like it's the last game you've got boys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Pearson is a thug despite his weasel words about JG. I hope that Jack is intact at the end of this game, because if he does pick up a serious injury that's one less team for Pearson to worry about in this season's relegation battle!

We have to improve our recent home form but Watford are on a good run. We have to be made harder to score against but I think Reina is going to be busy tonight. Don't understand what has happened to Engels had about one poor game and has disappeared. I can't see Vassiliev tonight unless Smith is going to make a massive ultimatum a to the board that we need to bring in more strikers. More likely El Ghazi again up top. I think the amount of different set ups and lack of genuine first choice starters for Villa shows how poor our form is at the moment and lack of coherent style or play and identity. We have a lot of 5 out of 10 meh players who are much of a muchness apart from a couple of class players like Grealish and Mings. i agree with most of your your post - but if we want to stay up this for me is must win. You have to beat teams around you realistically to survive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson has this reputation as been a prick and and a bit cold etc. Sanchez Flores couldn't get a tune out of them. You dont play the way they are playing right now if you aren't enjoying your football. He's not the chest beating ape the media like to portray him as. They look a pretty happy, highly motivated and committed bunch to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I think Pearson and Watford are overrated at the moment. He has got some good battling performances out of them, but they are still a very beatable team. We will be putting out a decent 11, and these night games at VP seem to bring out the best in our players. Very hopeful of 3 points tonight.
