VillaFaninLondon Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I think Sheff U will struggle this season and anything less than 3 points is disappointing. I think the game will tell us a lot about the season – win and get off to a good start and hopefully that momentum pushes us on to have a good season. Anything else and we could struggle again. If we pull off our reported targets in time we could line up like: …………..…….…Martinez…………………… Cash/Fred….Konsa….Mings….Targett …………….…Luiz………..SJM………………. Traore…………….Jack……………Rashica ……………………..Watkins………………….. Looks a strong enough team to win. However, Rashica looks unlikely as keeps going round in circles and we’ll be hard pushed to get Traore sorted by then too. So unfortunately could see Hourihane and Trez in the line up again.

villalad21 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hope to see this team: ....................Martinez...................... Elmo......Konsa.......Mings..........Targett ...........................Luiz............................... ..................McGinn..Hourihane............. Trezeguet............Watkins............Grealish Reasoning being i don't think Cash is quite ready yet. Elmo will as always do a decent job and it's massively important to get off to a good start. Yes we might sign some players in the coming days before the game kicks off but i highly doubt they would go straight into the team on such short notice.

messi11 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) We should win, but I said that about 38 times last season Edited September 16, 2020 by messi11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I hope we are really up for this. They've out fought us probably every time since we've come up against them in recent years and that isn't good enough. Wilder making a sly dig also about the fee we paid for Watkins. Their fans got more upset about us staying up than Bournemouth or Watford did. Oh and goal that wasn't given kept us up, apparently. Hope we proper stuff em.

Can you imagine the uproar on here if we went into a season with McGoldrick, McBurnie and Sharp as our strikers? Imagine if neither scored after the first game.

I don't think it's unfortunate. Both are still very good players to have at this level and if it means they get more game time and continue to do a job for us until more reinforcements arrive then that's fine by me.

Very good players is strong to say the least. Decent squad players no more no less I'd say. And I say that as someone who likes Conor and Trez and has defended them in the past. Don't want to see either sold, but at the same time I don't want to see them in the starting 11 much, because if they are in there it means we haven't strengthened as we should have done and will probably be battling it out down the bottom again.

Thing is are Trezeguet and Hourihane better players than the likes of some of those featuring for our next opponent Sheff. Utd? Personally i'd say yes and hopefully we have enough to beat them; this is why the likes of these two can play against certain teams. However I do also understand we should not just presume we will beat these teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle already won and Palace. It's important to get off to a good start. We remember that from last season. Not fun having to play catch up. We can't let the likes of Newcastle and Palace sail away from us. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Another set of fans who hates us https://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/pre-match-view-from-villa.82263/ Quote Just remembered how much hatred I have for Aston Villa Not even going to read that. Awful fanbase. Quite some arrogance for a team that only avoided relegation because their keeper is a cheat. God I hope we smash the arrogant **** rocket polishers.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Since we got cheated and lost our heads against United, I think im right in saying we’re unbeaten: Aston Villa 2-0 Crystal Palace (pl) Everton 1-1 Aston Villa (pl) Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal (pl) West Ham 1-1 Aston Villa (pl) Wycombe 1-3 Aston Villa (f) Bristol City 1-1 Aston Villa (f) Arsenal 2-3 Aston Villa (f) Aston Villa 1-0 Man Utd (f) Burton 1-3 Aston Villa (lc) A noice clean sheet and Ollie Watkins double please. 2-0 and some momentum to carry forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post newhavenhibby Posted September 18, 2020 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 Always an exciting time as the first match looms. Wondering how the new signings will perform and gel with what is already there. Here's hoping the new boys work out and Villa can get off to a winning start. Playing catch up and games in hand are never as good a scenario as having points on the table. 'mon Villa 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Really hoped we would get antoher signing over line in time for this game, but oh wells. I would go like this: Team: Martinez, Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash, Luiz, McGinn, Hourihane, Grealish, Watkins, Trez. Subs: Steer, Hause, Guilbert, Nakamba, Jota, Davis, Samatta.

Think that is most people’s team tbh. It kind of picks itself. Unpopular opinion. Start Ramsey over Hourihane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
