VillaChris Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Originally this was shaping up to me to be a similar game to that Sunderland monday night game in Lambert's first season, night where it all clicks and we win well to move clear of bottom 3. Reality is pretty different now but it wouldn't shock me if we actually put in a good performance now with the pressure off of being miles adrift. 6-1. Benteke hat-trick of own goals.

Enda Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I’d try McGinn on the wing for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 We need 7 points to get above Watford and West Ham because of goal difference. It's over. Don't even bother playing pragmatic and hope to nick it. Just go for it. Nothing to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Ken McNaughts Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I seem to find myself a little more optimistic than most (though only when I focus on the maths and forget our woeful lack of fight). There is little chance of Watford or West Ham getting anything from Man City and Man United. Their only other fixture before the final day is obviously against each other, so that means a very high chance of one or both of them going into the last game in the 34-35 point range, If we can somehow (big word, I know) find two of the ugliest, flukiest wins in the world from Palace, Everton and Arsenal then we would go into the final day on 33 points with a glimmer of hope. Highly improbable, yes, but not impossible, so for now I will cling to that. And I think we will know early on against Palace if there is any fight or the usual resignation in the players’ eyes. I’m going to go crazy and say 1-0 Villa. Luiz screamer. 89th minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted July 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2020 I've never bet against Villa (probably why I'm so poor ) but I have tonight, can't understand what makes us favourites. I covered Palace and the draw. I don't mind if the bet loses because that means we have won.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even bother playing pragmatic and hope to nick it. Just go for it. Nothing to lose. This is assuming Watford don’t pick up any more points too, right? I know we have to stay optimistic, and a lot of people were looking at our wins coming against Palace and West Ham, but I’m sorry... we are seriously underestimating our opponents here. Despite their position, Palace are a very good team and it’s inevitable one of Ayew or Benteke is going to score today. Meaning we’ve got to score at least 2.

Delphinho123 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) All out attack. Play Davis and Vassilev up top. Grealish and McGinn in behind. Targett and Elmo as wing backs. Luiz sitting. **** defending. Let’s go for the 5-0 win. Dont bother with Samatta, Trezeguet, El Ghazi, Nakamba or Engels. 42m of garbage.

Popular Post newhavenhibby Posted July 12, 2020 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Results not gone for Villa.......either their own or other teams in the relegation zone. Teams I have followed in the past have also been in this situation and all fans want to see now is some fight from the players and management. Worst thing is for them to roll over tamely in these last 4 games without giving it their all. At least show some passion for the badge. McGinn on the wing.........not for me Occasionally played wider for us but he was not up against the speed and strength of fullbacks in the English Premier League.

It's Your Round Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 1-0 Villa We’ll manage to fashion a chance and take it then shut up shop for 70 mins. A little hope is restored before we go to Everton and get a hard fought 0-0. Could it really be that Villa might stay up? Then Arsenal thrash us 4-0, before a depressing 2-0 loss at the athletics stadium. On the bright side, at least we’ll get to play Coventry at the sty next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Can't see us scoring, we can't buy a goal at the moment! Either 0-0 or 1-0 palace:-( We went toe to to with Manure Thursday and that awful penalty killed the game for us, I think some the players after yesterdays results are already speaking to their agents to get them out of here!

It's Your Round Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Matt Targett’s fit and available for today. Might give us something extra in an attacking sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2020 Predict a 2-1 win. Mings and Samatta to score. If I’ve learned anything from supporting Villa all these years, it’s that where there’s the opportunity for your emotions to be toyed with, they will be fully toyed with. So I can see us going in to the West Ham game needing a win to stay up, and us having a frustrating 0-0 or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
