Phil Silvers Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Them team prettyuch picks itself for me, DL JJ SJM, Marv out injured. I'm only concerned with Ollie looking like 75% of himself with regard to chances, should we start Ings, is he fit enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 If Deano is a real Villa bloke then he should be resting his best players and putting one of the kids in goal, he should already have faxed his team and strategy to SG. Can see us smashing them 8-0 and moving up to 8th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is BUT we have played 5 of the big 6 (Plop, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Man U) away from home in our first 8 away games so hard to get a proper steer??

It's one of those I feel people are taking too lightly as a " foregone conclusion ". From what i've been seeing, Norwich have been playing well. All the storylines here will have them well and truly fired up as well. This one is going to be very psychological as too IMO. As Gerrard said, Dean knows the players very well, but the players also know Deano very well. If both teams perform to their capabilities there SHOULD only be one winner. However for no reason, I've got dodgy decision and bad luck vibes today. I think that it’s important that we earn the right to control the game before we become more attacking. Rather than think we can just show up and walk all over them. We need to continue to be hard to beat, then hopefully our quality in forward areas can win us the game. Better teams than us sometimes struggle to win games when they forget the basics. Let’s not get suckered after some good performances against teams higher in the table. Peope who think we can just show up and blow them away are wrong. In the same way that people who think we should have gone toe to toe at Anfield are equally wrong. Liverpool aren’t just a very good team, they are a very good team that are currently on top form and have been blowing very good teams away recently. Tough game tonight but one which should give us more attacking opportunities than last Saturday. Let’s not forget we are the away team though and don’t expect to have 70% possession all game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Feels like a draw to me. Smith knows our players too well and while Gerrard has them all guns blazing, my gut says Norwich will unfortunately pinch a draw. One of those times an Ex-Villa person comes back to haunt us as so often happens despite no obvious reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for the mods to block any such calling of our manager and automatically change it. That still feels like a swear word to me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a test for those needing to know if SG is an upgrade on Deano, we have the players to beat them, every day at BMH this group should be a little further along in their re-education, we should beat these but Dean is no mug, he could have a plan that rips us one. Can't see it myself, comfortable Villa victory with Deano celebrating with us at full-time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 it'll be tougher than it looks, from what i've seen of them under smith norwich arent that bad they just lack quality, especially in attack stay compact at the back and the old cliche of make them do something, whilst at the same time stretching the game up top, its not always easy, we should win, we should out play them but this is another game where'd id say only mad men bet on aston villa games, tonight could be anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 We need to be clinical - that Norwich defence is terrible so I don’t foresee a scenario where we won’t create chances. We need to start strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
