Mjvilla Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I've used the ignore function, but it keeps telling me that the person I've chosen to ignore has posted and that I've chosen to ignore it? And I can see said post in quotes of other people. Can I just not have anything from that person at all? So it's like they don't exist? P.s Not you Zatman! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 8, 2020 Moderator Share Posted June 8, 2020 I'm not sure on Reina - he doesn't look completely in shape and he'll be leaving in 22 days. I'm not sure the club will want to gamble this much on a player who might not be completely committed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks fine in the training videos on Twitter We all go on about lack of "experience" yet you want to ditch the guy with hundreds of PL games under his belt to a guy who arrived from the 2nd tier in Germany. Some times this forum doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Reina is playing. Would surprise me a lot if he didn't.

Playing centre mid for derby. Let's get him in and stop playing that guy that arrived from a tinpot midtable SPL side. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) A win would take us out of the relegation places and up to 16th. This will be our first home game since 1982 to be played behind closed doors. We beat Besiktas 3-1 back then, another 3-1 win is exactly what we need now. Sheffield United were promoted alongside us last season. They have gained 18 more points than we have to date. Our target is and always was safety. Their target has now become European football. They have enjoyed a season that has already exceeded their most ambitious expectations. However, they aren't Manchester City and they aren't Liverpool, and on our day, we can win this one! After all, we gave them a 3-goal start at Villa Park last season and still got a point. Their fans have been suffering from a bad case of over confidence, as is demonstrated by the following three early comments taken from S2 4SU.com: "We'll smash them" - "That’d be a great 3 points to restart with! Put us in 5th potentially" - "We've got to have the beating of these schmucks". A little annoying eh? Let's burst their bubble! Sheffield United's last win at Villa Park was recorded in 1966. Since then, we have won 7 home league games against them (the last one in 2007) and have drawn 5 (including the last 2). Overall, we have won 59 and have drawn 31, of the 127 league meetings that there have been between the two clubs. Our next ten games will decide whether we remain a Premier League club or return to the Championship, after just one season back in the top flight. A win from this, the second of our 11 cup final's this season, would give us a shot of much needed confidence, and of course three oh so precious points. We really do need to get something out of this game. Just win it for us Villa! Edited June 8, 2020 by John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I think the situation stands to benefit us in this match, for me it’s apparent that Sheffield United have been playing above themselves for some time now and they may find that motivation and passion a little less inspired without a crowd. Equally, I think we have players who may excel without the pressure of a crowd, Davis, El Ghazi and Guilbert come to mind - although I’m sure it won’t have escaped the players and club to consider that this might be the highest tv viewing figures of a Villa game on record. But I think it benefits us, so now we have to use that platform to go out and perform, having McGinn back will be massive, I think he instantly improves the whole side not just the midfield. I’d be keen to see a Davis / Samatta partnership up top. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Yet you want to ditch the guy with hundreds of PL games under his belt to a guy who arrived from the 2nd tier in Germany. I want to play a player that's committed to the club, I thought Reina looked a little heavy in the training videos and he'll only be available for four of our nine games, I'd go with consistency and commitment over experience in this case. Like villa4europe says though, I think you play the one that impresses most in training - I don't think there's a great deal between the three keepers we've got. 1 hour ago, villalad21 said: Some times this forum doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I’d be keen to see a Davis / Samatta partnership up top. I agree. It’ll likely be as big a game as any PL game viewing figures in recent times. I also think, while Sheffield have got Europe to play for to a certain extent, I would like to think our players and team, should/would be pretty much more motivated that any other by being so close to the drop and so close to getting out of it.

Delphinho123 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I have a feeling they'll be fitter than us. I don't know why, I could be wrong, I just do. I think we'll lose unfortunately. We desperately need to win this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
