We should have breezed past Burnley, and pissed it against Brighton, but no. I think we have every chance of winning tonight, but this is not a case of simply needing to turn up. Thankfully, I think the coaching staff will have us well prepared - I just hope we're on form. I think it’s more to do with Sheffield’s form. They really have been awful, they don’t look like they can buy a win at the minute. I agree though, we can’t be too cocky about this game, we’re prone to the odd shite game ourselves.

Popular Post Junxs Posted March 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 I don't know why so many people in this thread are thinking we just turn up and win. Yes Sheffield United are bottom and not lost only 5 games, but if people actually bothered to watch them, they are playing the exact same as last season, creating lots of chances but just dont have any one to put them away, McGoldrick is as bad as they come in the premier league for finishing, and they've lost Henderson who was key last few years for them. They have lost nearly every game by just the one goal, in the smae way that nearly all their victories were just by one goal last season. The football is the same. Billy Sharp was an ageing striker last year and he's even older this year. They are not to be taken lightly. I have also seen many people suggesting for the return of Ross Barkley as this is "an easy game for him to get into form" - no thank you! This is exactly the type of game where you need everyone to be on the same page and working hard, they are definitely not as bad as the league table suggests. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like his petulant attitude, I don’t like his lack of effort and I don’t like him. I’d much rather we carried on developing Ramsey or used the chance to ease Sanson into the starting XI. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphouneso Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I hope we're 1-0 up after 42 minutes, because that's all that matters in football, they give you the result after that apparently. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'd like to see a midfield 3 of Sanson, Luiz and Nakamba, although I think McGinn will start instead of Sanson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. Possession is what counts. Our misguided tactic of scoring more goals came to nothing against Leeds, who beat us decisively with their possession. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has shown us that last season no one really knew how to set up against these. This season they've been exposed. If we're on song we can easily put 5/6 against them. But if it's been like the post Covid performances then a scrappy one nil. On 28/02/2021 at 08:43, AVFCforever1991 said: We should be beating these easy, there's a reason they're bottom.

If anyone heard Wilder's post match interview, he seems to have give up now, an he knows they are destined for relegation, so why push for a win against the Villa?

In fairness to Leeds they did breathe an enormous amount of fresh air during that game, which I'm led to believe is the leading metric in deciding how to attribute the moral victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I’d likely go with the following: Emi Elmo Konsa Mings Targett Nakamba Sanson McGinn Traore Watkins Ghazi Argument to say Luiz for McGinn but I’m not sure the 8 is Luiz’s best position. Tough game this one - need to guard against complacency and match their effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be shocked if we play badly and lose but I would be astounded if we play well and lose this game. IF we play well, we will win. I'm convinced of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 2 hours ago, MarkLillis said: Sheffield Wednesday have far more class. I think they have a similar situation up there to what we have with Blues. One a classic big club the other a bunch of knuckle draggers. I'm actually the other way.....much prefer Sheffield United to Wednesday probably due to Bramall Lane is one of my favourite away grounds in the whole country (great view from away end and 10 minutes to the city centre) whereas Hillsborough imo is a complete dump with obviously a tragic past so I've never liked it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Lawro thinks it will be 1-1. He thinks Vila are not consistent enough to challenge for top 4. Since January the only team we have lost to which have been below us in the league is Burney. All other defeats (Manchester clubs, West Ham and Leicester ) all above us. Back to the Sheffield clubs at least the blades have invested in Bramall lane. Hillsborough is a rusting relic of a bygone era.

Support your club Barkley has p***ed away his opportunity to join Villa imo so is a waste of a squad spot now. Also, supporting your club doesn’t mean you can’t post what you think about players, staff or anything else Villa related. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I have been supporting Villa for nearly sixty years, I spent 20 years of my life in Sheffield and I can assure you up that you couldn’t be more wrong. The Blades are by far the classier football club by a mile and their fans are on the whole brilliant. Watching matches at Bramall Lane is electric, going to watch Wednesday is most certainly not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2021 So, my predictions for starting lineup and bench are: Emi Elmo Konsa Mings Targett Luiz McGinn Ramsey Traore Watkins El Ghazi Bench of: Heaton, Taylor, Nakamba, Trezeguet, Barkley, Sanson, Kesler, Wesley, Engels.
