Brighton and West Ham play the way we don't like. The other 4 we can probably set a record in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Villa were draw masters in the Premier League for years. No draws yet this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Still baffled how we can play the way we did against Leeds and Southampton and then come up with something like this. Is it purely down to playing style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I want at least 11 points from those games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 No chance we win the league, we don't have the depth. I know most are joking - but the fact is when we do lose games again people get angry because they feel winning the league was realistic. If any team will it will be either Spurs or Leicester. We are 4 players short of having enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 4 players short of having enough. Will be interesting to see where we are (apart from the obvious reason of being fan) in January. If we're still pushing for Europe, the powers that be will have a decision to make. That team that started tonight is our best side and we're capable of beating anyone as we've seen. That's great but I think we all looked at the bench tonight and gasped at how short of quality it was. Still, I can't believe I'm even contemplating Europe considering where we were just a few months ago.

kidlewis Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If we have 30 points by Jan I really think we will get two solid first team quality to challenge and add depth. LB CM we have the capability to be safe before the window opens let alone closes. if we beat Brighton and West Ham that will be 21 points in 9 games... oof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Brighton or West Ham. They seem like the teams that we struggle against. Brighton has been extremely unlucky this season despite playing some good football. Wolves can always be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely incredible improvement so far I'm having as much fun as a Villa fan now than I've had in the 25 years I've been a fan! Even the MON teams don't compare to the style of football Villa play when we are at our best this season. Even Targett is humming right along. The first choice XI is sorted right now. We can only hope they stay injury free. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Leicester win, there was talk of Champions League from some people and they were being serious! Then Leeds and Southampton happened. We are building a good side and we will push for a Europa League place within a few years I reckon. This season, finishing 10th would be incredible. But its so tight that its easy to slip into the bottom 6 with a bad run. Edited November 9, 2020 by One For The Road 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it purely down to playing style? We played well against Southampton offensively. We were unlucky they scored on every shot on target and 3 genuinely world class goals. We were poor defensively, but 3-2 to us wouldn't have been unfair. Leeds was terrible, but we just match up horribly against them. I still maintain that if they didn't capitulate against Derby, we wouldn't even be in the PL right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 The best way is to take it one at a time. Now we play Brighton, that will be a huge game. They're an unlucky team and they'll most probably cause us some problems. We need to keep our heads up whatever the outcome was. We need to learn from what we've done against Leeds and Southampton. Our late goals against Southampton gave us belief. Coming back that way showed us that we can get back to games, no need to panic. We're a good team. We need to calm down. Unlike Everton who threw all what they've done with being sent off or panicking. We've almost done that against Leeds (we've done it actually in the results wise). To be fair to our defence, Bamford goals were world class finishes (apart from the first). Salah too, there could be an arguement that Salah second goal, Bamford second and third could've been blocked, but most of angles were covered. Southampton were all free kicks. Add to all of that the panic that happens whenever we're losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranavfc Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 We are now higher odds to go down (30) than to finish in the top 4 (22) on Betfair. We're under 10 to finish in top 6 and almost evens to finish in the top half, projecting us to finish 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
