Tomaszk Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Can only be a good thing we're facing them without Bilic after that draw at City for them. Unlikely they'll have anyone in by Sunday and if they do they won't have had much time to do anything of note in training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted December 16, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Apparently Bilic has been sacked and Big Sam will take over by the time of our game on Sunday Edited December 16, 2020 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thank goodness we are away. Because we are patently dreadful at home. Points wise that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Not looking forward to this one. Lord Gravy Boat will no doubt get off to a start against us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Knowing big Sam and his propensity to park the bus and the way we played today I can only see a 5 -0 dinosaur ending thrashing by us. Watkins hat trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 A win against the Tescos on Sunday would put us 15 points above them with two games in hand still. Even with survival specialist Big Sam in charge, that would be a really big ask to catch us from that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 We will beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Tesco carrier bags corp are probably the worst team defensively I've seen this season along with Fulham. Attacking wise they're not that bad. If big Sam the dinosaur comes in and plays dinosaur ball then we'll create loads of chances. Whether we score or not is another matter .

It's Your Round Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Let’s see this frustration explode all over fat Sam’s band of gypos. There’s no way we don’t beat these. 3-0 Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 They will be so up for it. Everyone desperate to impress their new manager. We need to make sure we match them for work rate and aggression 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) 2-0 win. We are long overdue a win there. Somehow not won there since September 2008. Edited December 17, 2020 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_1989 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 At least 4 of our players should be fresh even tho we’ve had less time to prepare. Konza, Dougie, Cash and Barkley (hopefully match fit) The fact we had so much possession at least we shouldn’t be too tired from today’s game. Mginn probably the only one who’s shattered and I feel like Jack has good energy levels. All about mindset, Watkins needs to step up - as good a game as any to get back scoring.

VillaChris Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Only just realised we're in the hallowed 7.15pm slot! Thought it would be something like 12pm so even more confident now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 We can't start both Traore and El Ghazi. One of them has to drop out. For anyone. Barkley, Ramsey, big Neil Cutler, I don't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Luiz back in and hopefully Barkley we should surely score. Right? Surely?? Manure conceded a goal today where the defender heads the ball on to mcgoldricks head and it goes in. Why don't we ever get those diamonds lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley wasn't even on the bench last night so the chances of him starting this one are surely very slim. I think we may not see him until Man United on NYD tbh. This game got a lot tougher with Big Sam coming in and I think another draw is on the cards here. 2-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I'm assuming Luiz, Cash and Konsa will definitely be back (Luiz and Cash suspension ends and Konsa was ill for yesterday but isn't injured). I'm not sure on Trez, sounds like he'll still be out. Barkley is the big one, I assumed he'd make at least the bench yesterday but he was nowhere to be seen. DS said he should be available soon after the Wolves game so I'm guessing he's training properly again. I know hamstrings can be risky but it has been a month now. Hopefully he left him out yesterday so he could start him against Boggies, with him on the pitch yesterday I reckon we'd have won and we're a better team with him in it. If all those players are back minus Trez, I think we'll comfortably win on Sunday. We have dominated in 3 of our last 4 games, yet only won 1 in the game we didn't dominate. Our finishing needs to be much better than yesterday. Edited December 18, 2020 by VillaFaninLondon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
