MaVilla Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The arsenal Watford game is gonna be tough. Arteta had said they will be putting all their effort in the the fa Cup final on the 1st August as that's now their only chance of European football. The fact they play Watford on the 26th and its a dead rubber game, I seriously hope they don't field a severely weekend team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't do that last night though. I think that was the biggest difference last night. The mentality was different, we didn’t rest on one goal even if we did drop back a little. The last 15 where we usually try our hardest to give the game away, we played well to the last whistle. I hope we maintain that concentration against West Ham.

rubberman Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I had just talked myself round into needing a draw as Bournemouth and Watford are both terrible. Now I'm worried about them winning again and us needing a win, or we're sitting on a draw in the last 15mins with everyone back in our box with crosses raining in and the spiral of nervousness begins.

villalad21 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I have a strong feeling a draw will be enough too. After watching Foster's interview i get a sense of them being mentally shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Came on here last night excited to soak up the shared VT joy after *one of the biggest wins in our recent history*... to find posters slagging off KD for his "unacceptable" second half miss, and question "where was this attitude all season?!", among plenty of other negativity. I guess some people just find it difficult to enjoy life's W's when they do come around. Unbelievable we are now in this position, everyone in football had written us off including most of our own fanbase. Credit to Deano, credit to the players, credit to the fans who never stopped believing. UTV - on to Sunday! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Looks like there's not many people doing much work today, so I'll join in Think there is an argument for being wary on both the "other" games on Sunday to be honest. Negatives; Arsenal could have minds elsewhere and / or field a weakened side. Bournemouth know that a win is their only chance of survival and have dangerous players going forward against a team with nothing really to play for. Positives; The Deeney factor might see Arsenal more pumped than they would be in a game like this, they won't want to lose two on the spin, players playing for their cup final shirts. Bournemouth when going forward could leave gaps for Everton's front line to exploit. Everton's home record is very good. Everton had a great win last time out at Sheffield Utd. A draw for us rules Bournemouth out of the equation. Unfortunately unless Arsenal and Everton both go 2-0 up in the first 15 minutes I think it is going to be a real tense day, one I was hoping at the start of the season we wouldn't be involved in but one I was desperately hoping we were involved in over the last 6 weeks or so. We have given ourselves a real fighting chance but it is far from over - We need to go out against West Ham with a view to getting the three points which would be extremely likely to be enough - Come on Villa, one last push! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Big game tonight really as well, if West Ham can get a point it’ll put them clear and will definitely change their mindset for Sunday, I mean they’re not in any real danger anyway unless they get done 10-0 tonight but better for them to be totally clear and relaxed I think. All irrelevant if we just do our job of course but it would be a help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just hope V arse wasn't our day in the sun. Which often happens - you get a great result but can't rise to those levels a few days later. All 3 teams still involved - pretty sure all 3 won't lose on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they lose by a goal tonight, we'd then need to beat them by 6 goals (I think), while Watford and Bournemouth would both also need to win for them to go down.

darrenm Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 That clearing in the woods Souness was talking in our last game about the relegation fight between Bournemouth and Watford, assuming we were already down with Norwich, and that Grealish is rubbish and all he ever does is dive. It felt so good last night thinking about him sobbing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 That's what me thought, but I'd rather them go into the Everton game having lost nine in a row away from home with the worry that they're due a win, rather than them going into that game having won in nine in a row away from home with the faint hope that they due a defeat. Last time they won away from was against Chelsea, which has been their only away win in the last twelve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 We just need to go in with the same mindset as last night. We win and we are safe. Nothing else matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
