It's Your Round Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Adrian in for Allison, that’s good news for us. Jota, Firminho, Salah up front still a massive danger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this is the case, but there are examples of players who were average strikers and became very good defenders. Piszczek at Borussia being one of those.

villatillidie1980 Posted October 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2020 Exciting stuff. Come on Villa. Difficult to expect too much against the current champions, best team in the league and, I would suggest, champions elect. However, they’re missing a couple of key players and we’ve improved our squad. I hope we can do ourselves proud. Looking forward to this one.

I'm not sure Davis can be either but he's got the physical presence for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Good team and decent bench options. Harsh on Hourihane but Barkley had to start. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I feel weirdly confident that we might do alright tonight. So I’d lump on a Liverpool win if I were you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Excited to see how we measure up against Liverpool. Last season we had a massive inferiority complex against top six clubs and barely got any points from them at all. We’ve shown more steel against poor-performing clubs so far this season so let’s see how we can do against the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
