Genie Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I’m just hoping we fight for the whole 90 minutes. We’ve shown it a few times this year. Unfortunately we also have the ability for an absolute catastrophic showing like home to City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, that's what we are all just hoping for.....a show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Davis and Samatta up front for me. We have no hope as it is and have to try something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Rumours Konsa and Hause benched. Mingels is back, right call imo. Hopefully Davis starts too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I think we are going to get battered. But irony beyond irony, I could also see us getting in to Europe whilst being in the championship...... we are just going to get battered though.

We can but dream but at least we should keep the score down as full backs wont get caught upfield and mid 2 can just sit in to close KDB I had similar thoughts in terms of formation with slightly different personnel... I think we need to press them high as a team and try to force mistakes then hit them fast on the counter when we gain possession- only one of the full backs venturing forward at any one time. Nothing to be gained by being too defensive and inviting City on to us... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I’d go 4-5-1, hope the Mingels rumour is true. Elmo right wing infront of Guilbert. Jack central rather than on the left and then can’t decide on left wing. Probably is El Ghazi but I wouldn’t be against putting Vassilev there to just run at them all the time. i think Luiz should be on the bench but I don’t think it’s the right game for Hourihane and can’t bring myself to say start Drinkwater. Nyland Guilbert Mingels Targett Elmo Hourihane Nakamba Vassilev Jack Samatta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2020 I know they’re a really good side... but it’s not like they’re some sort of footballing gods. They’re only 11 humans against our 11 humans. We can win, it’s entirely possible. UTV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need a lot of luck on our side today but anything can happen in a one off game. COME ON YOU VILLA!! Having our boys give it their all is the only thing I care about. It’s the only chance we have to win. If we give it everything and lose, so be it. At least we went down swinging. The only reason I’d be disappointed today is if we don’t give it a good go. I’d rather lose 10-0 and go down swinging than lose 4-1 with our tails between our legs for 90 minutes. Either way it doesn’t matter, because we’re going to win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could live with that but I feel Elmo is a better crosser and Guilbert a better tackler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted March 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2020 This'll be a mad game, absolutely no way we stop them scoring so I think we'll just go toe to toe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Not to be negative but this weekend will be seen as the turning point in our season. Well, not turning point, the nail in the coffin. Every team around us won and we get thrashed in another cup final. Morale will be on the floor and we won't recover. I hope I'm wrong of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham t Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I can only see Nkamba and Luiz being overrun ( as usual ) if selected. Hope I am wrong of course. Best wishes to one and all who have made the trip, you deserve a miracle. ATB VLD. Not expecting any surprises from Smith with team selection...
