Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Isn’t it just nice to be able to genuinely look forward to games now, I can’t wait for them to come around versus a year ago roughly when I’d have been delighted if the season had been scrapped altogether. Every game is huge for us now if we have genuine ambitions beyond mid table, it’s another great opportunity for 3 wins in a week (which coincidentally was the same situation as when we played them earlier this season with the game against Burnley sandwiched in between two other winnable matches) with Southampton also struggling for form and player availability right now. If we play well tonight we will win. 3-1 Villa with Watkins bagging two. Edited January 27, 2021 by bannedfromHandV 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I haven't watched much of them, but I did see them against West Ham and they were absolutely clueless going forwards. They don't score many goals, and none of their strikers are on particularly good form. If we do our job defensively, and don't switch off, I think we can restrict them to 0 and then hopefully score ourselves. I'm cautiously optimistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTV Use the classic, get someone to call your phone 15/20 minutes beforehand and then just say there's an emergency at home and you need to go. There's an extensive list of 'emergencies' that can be used for any situation. Just be inventive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It will be a tough one this, with Mee and Tarkowski back in.....I don't think Ollie will get much of a look in tonight. We have to find a way of steering clear of their physicality as they can be brutal. Our danger man wil be Traore, with his elusive skills. No errors from Mingsy ,please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Think this one will be a real tough game. I don’t expect us to have the freedom of the park like our last game with them. Big games needed from Ross, Grealish and Traore to create the chances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw wouldn’t be terrible as they are a staunch outfit, hopefully though we will just have too much quality for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest worry is Jack or Watkins’ leg being assaulted by Mee. He’s a vile b’stard and if he hurts one of ours I hope the whole team kick the granny out of him.

Jonesy7211 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The Burnley fans are generally quite confident about this one, and their recent form has been decent. I believe there'll not be many goals in it, 2-1 either way or a 1-1 draw. If they're confident after the Liverpool and Fulham wins and tonight they come on to us we'll beat them though.

Their new found confidence paradoxically could be their undoing, especially if they leave us space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Grealish can stand up on this one. Gets his shins kicked time and again. "In life it's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward." Even though we may not have that 'edge' going for us, I honestly don't think its a characteristic our teams personality is missing, certainly not dearly, if at all. We've got so much in abundance going for us that if we play our brand of football, we're in the contest, and hard at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wince for every minute our players spend on the pitch with Ben Mee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's going to be a close game. I think defensively we'll be fine and it'll be if we can actually break them down this time unlike the home game a few weeks ago. I'll say 1-0 Villa but another 0-0 wouldn't surprise me at all. Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett Luiz - McGinn Traore - Barkley - Grealish Watkins Standard team, McGinn back in for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team needs a bit of edge if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
