We lost vs 4 of the top 5 teams and Spurs and Sheffield United the last game which was bad You post a lot of OTT posts that are mainly lies like this Was going to add that we also beat Spurs and Chelsea in the last two games so were hardly heading towards 17th!

useless Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Looking at the fixtures for the weekend, if our game goes ahead, then us moving up to seventh with a win is not out of the question, Spurs play liverpool, Wolves play Chelsea, and Leicester's game has been called off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be brilliant to win and get the game out of the way and see us 7th on xmas day. Imagine thinking that would've been possbile six weeks back. And I don't think after Saturday we'll be seeing any football played for a fair few weeks so a few teams around us will have mass fixture congestion for rest of the season. We were in similar situation last season having a couple of games in hand and didn't do us much good in long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Spurs and Woves don't play until Sunday, so any kind of win even if only by one goal would guarantee us seventh place for at least 24 hours, then would need Spurs to get beat and Wolves to get no more than a draw to stay there. Burnley won't be easy though, keep expecting them to improve and go on a run like they usually do, leaving it later than usual this season, but drawing against West Ham was a good result for them and could be what gets them going.

ender4 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Still with a small outside chance of finishing 7th, currently occupied by Man Utd. We are 9 points behind Man Utd and our next few games are: Everton Leeds Newcastle Watford Brighton Southampton. Really would need 15/18 points to have a chance of catching 7th. Can Coutinho, Digne and possibly a new DM provide us with the magic to get those points on the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the stars align we could win all seven of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 Digne and Coutinho hit the ground running, Ramsey and Buendia on form, maybe another player of top quality coming in - we are moving quickly in the right direction - no reason we can't go and win these next games and start climbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hopefully we have some momentum to get a good run of form. Top eight should be the aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Be good to get into the top ten. Personally think top eight is beyond us but be good to give it a helluva go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 If the second half against Man Utd is anything to go by, we are going to cause serious problems for most of the teams in this league. We look exciting, dynamic and dangerous and that is without Bailey and Traore, who both can produce magic as well as a fully fit Coutinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Given the games in hand, I feel the top 6 will include West Ham, Spurs and Arsenal. ManUtd, Wolves, Leicester and possibly Brighton and Villa will be fighting for 7th place. Anything lower than 11th will be really disappointing.

VillaChris Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We won't finish 7th. 8 points off Wolves who are on a good run themselves currently so hopefully can start cutting down that over next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Im wondering why we didnt arrange the leeds game this week? Surely would have been a good opportunity to play it tues of wed? There are various postponed games this week. We could have got the Leeds or Burnley game out the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoVillan1983 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I’m going to make an extreme prediction that For the second half of the season table (ONLY - ie league table for the last 19 games), Villa finish 4th. I think that’ll be enough for us to scrape into Euro spots - barely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Not really arsed about playing in the Rumbelows Cup in Israel on a Thursday night then having another 30% of games moved to stupid o'clock on a Sunday dinner. Champions League or nothing for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 You would need about 10 pairs of claret and blue specs to think we are fighting for 7th place, literally impossible. We won’t even beat last seasons finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We should be finishing higher than eleventh, top half at least should be the target. I think we can finish eighth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
