TRO Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 14 hours ago, VillaChris said: I think it's more psychological tbh TRO.....given some of the leads we've blown at various points in last 20 years there's always a feeling at back of everyone's mind that something will shortly go wrong and it often does. Or ref comes in and gives them penalty. In a similar period Mourinho over two spells at Chelsea only won once at VP in six visits and they had some fantastic title winning sides in three of those seasons so guess that's the way football works but we are miles overdue a win v them. I actually think since we've come up we've given them really good games in every single meeting bar us losing 3-0 to them after lockdown (and even then I think we hit the post at 0-0 early on) so I do think the players believe more than previous Villa teams but again we make a rash decision or get something given against us at crucial time and our heads drop more in this fixture than any other (last season's home game a textbook example). Not questioning your opinion, I think it has validity. My suggestion was, when you only have some good players and others iffy.....The belief gets tested, and it wanes, when we play top sides. However, I accept your reasoning, in relation to Chelsea....we do seem to do well in the main,against them. sometimes, its more than one factor at play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 So who is definitely out for this game? Bailey & Nakamba injured. McGinn suspended. Traore & Trez at AFCON. Digne probably not up to match fitness. Is everyone else available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Young is still out? I know he isn't really first choice but probably would like a turn out versus his former side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBM Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I hate them. When I think of this fixture I just think of them getting a lucky winner and their dickhead glory hunting arse clown fans spilling out on to the pitch to hug the players and high five the ref. We need to win this one for my sanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Looking forward to this game the weekend. Just can't see anything but a Villa win especially after the VAR nonsense the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hoping to join VT live for this one. We gave the FA cup fixture a solid shot and I honestly thought we were the better side overall. They had the lead and our impetus died heavily in the final twenty minutes, so it went. However we had over 60% possession for the 2nd half a fair way into it. Maybe on another day, as they say, and may that day be this Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Aston Villa v Man Utd, 22 (twenty-two) in a row without a Villa win. I just learnt it's the longest winless home record one side has had against another in English Football League history. Good grief. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
