ozvilla28 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Go and out and give it 110% that's all we ask.Defend as a team and attack as a team and keep it tight nothing silly need to be switched on.We have a few players who have brain fades and cost us.

Villastine Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 United probably thought they'd have it easy tonight against a West Ham side that were , in reality, safe. Hopefully they'll have lost the edge and Moyes will ring the changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post R.Bear Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) This is definitely a game where no fans in the stadium helps us. A safe West Ham with their fans loving to see them put us down could have a created a horrible atmosphere for our fragile team. In an ideal world, Arsenal are 3-0 up after half an hour which would at least make us know we only need a point to guarantee safety. I dont agree with the people who are saying we have to go all out for a win. That's just crazy talk. I say we keep it tight, play our game, obviously hopefully take the lead but also see where we stand after the first few minutes elsewhere. We dont need a win or a draw, we need to match Watford's result and keep an eye on what Bournemouth are doing. It's a game of chess, not a siege. We do what we need to do.

Yeah don’t count your chickens! Forest needed to avoid defeat and Swansea to over come a 5 goal swing. Forest are now not in the play offs. Swansea won 4-1 and forest lost. Sunday will be full of twists and turns that’s for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 As well as we've done over the last three games, I'm still more hopeful of Everton beating Bournemouth and Arsenal beating Watford than I am of us beating West Ham, although would be nice if we could get the job done ourselves, ten points from the last possible twelve would be a remarkable turnaround in form. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 It goes without saying but an early goal for us could seal the entire day. Bournemouth will be going all out for a win obviously but if there is one thing Arsenal are good at, its putting shit teams away at home. If Watford go for it, which they will have too if they find out we're winning then Arsenal should clean up. Bournemouth really worry me. If they they are 2-0 up at half time and we're drawing or even losing then it gets very ugly, very quickly. I cant think of anything worse than us having to chase the game with time running down needing a goal. Sunday is going to be one of the hardest days of being a Villa fan ever. Sure we've had cup finals and playoff finals but to get relegated on the last day when we are in a great position is something I dont want to even think about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think we just have to forget about the other games and treat the West Ham almost as if it's a play-off final, win it and it should be enough, unless Watford somehow manage to beat Arsenal by three goals, if we were to beat West Ham by more than one goal they'd then have to beat Arsenal by a even bigger margin.

Johnnyp Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Forest's capitulation tonight from a seemingly uncatchable position pre game should be a stark reminder to us that we absolutely must go out totally driven to win the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel only proven at the top level type players should be getting that type of money. People should keep some of these things in the back of the mind before we "How have we allowed player x to go to club x ? " etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Would be lovely to have a scenario where Bournemouth are 2 down to Everton in first 20-30 minutes and Watford are 3 down to Arsenal. Don't think it will quite pan out like that though. Could well be one of those horrible periods where we're fine with a draw for long spell of the afternoon and then one of them scores late on in the day and then suddenly we have to push forward and leave gaps. At least we've shown better mentality in last three. We will certainly need it on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different for Watford but can you really see them beating Arsenal in their last game before the cup final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different for Watford but can you really see them beating Arsenal in their last game before the cup final? Imagine this for a scenario though. We're 0-0 and cruising. Bournemouth can't do anything but are 1-1 at Everton. On 70th minute mark Watford go 2-1 up at Arsenal so suddenly we go into mass panic and have 8 upfield in search of a goal and West Ham pick us off on the break to go 1-0 up. Arsenal however bring Auvameyang on and he scores twice in five minutes and Arsenal win 3-2 in the end. The damage is done and we lose 1-0. Bournemouth score in the 93rd minute to win 2-1 and send us down. Maybe I'm overthinking things but there's an example of over-commiting due to one score elsewhere coming and then suddenly a draw being enough again but we don't get it due to trying to go for a winner. We've seen that before on final days. Sunday certainly needs some cool heads on the pitch and touchline and good game management. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't see WBA at home drawing QPR or Barsnley defeating Brentford or Swansea overcoming a 5 goal goal difference against Forest. All three happened last night.

This is absolutely overthinking it in my opinion. 100 different scenarios could play out, we can't worry too much about them and ultimately if we're in the drop zone after 70 minutes we need to push for a goal as if it's a cup final. Worry about scenarios as they come out. Play like we did against Arsenal and we're a very good chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 We need to go into half leading. We can't worry about Watford or Bournemouth we have to assume they both win and we must as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
