JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 1 minute ago, DCJonah said: Our team looks very good but I'm more nervous than last week for some reason. Need another Buendia masterclass. I'm nervous as well, more about the fact that Everton will be fired up ffs. These things always happen at bad times for us. We needed Rafa for another week at least 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Delighted with the team picked, now we have to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) As others have said, this is our strongest 11. Things have to start improving quickly now. Cut out the inconsistent performances and mistakes and we should be able to compete with anyone. Problem is they have a new manager and their fans will be right up for this, especially given who our manager is.

bannedfromHandV Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Not sure I’ve ever seen a Villa starting XI with more ‘on paper’ quality. Fingers crossed it translates on to the pitch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we have these ambitions from the top, then we need to get points from games like today. I think its the long break after this game as well. I'll be frustrated if we go into a long break on the back of a bad result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Bullshit Bingo - Football edition. Will the match kickoff before the commentator comes out with " The most played top flight fixture"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Both teams are looking strong. Duncan Ferguson, has been doing a lot of work to get the fans fired up and no doubt the players too. I’m suspecting this one isn’t going to be an easy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Happy with that line-up. No shoehorning Ings and Watkins into the team. Flip of a coin who starts between them but fine with Watkins. Think this 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree is the formation Gerrard has in mind going forward as it's how he played with Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidolon Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Nervous for this, would have loved them to persist with Rafa for another week. Great team picked though, an early goal for us would be great to take some of the enthusiasm out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) I'm a bit worried about them having all their best players back and having big Dunc screaming at the side line. I think Gerrard already has enough standing in the game to stand up to anyone on the side lines, but if it's one person that could make him shrink it's big Dunc.

OutByEaster? Posted January 22, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2022 Their front two is dangerous, I think they'll score - we look good going forward too - goal fest on the cards. 2-5 Villa win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Oh great.... just heard that Calvert-Lewin hasn't scored since his return. As another poster said: enter Aston Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 You put Bissouma in that team and it’s a top 6 side. We’re so close. Should win today (think we’ll draw). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 YES! Loving that line up, Coutinho & Buendia Stronger bench too. Having a “fresh” McGinn will help us in the midfield battle too. Expecting an entertaining game! A CF DROPPED! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Strong team, decent bench. I hope there’s no slow start this week and we get into them from the off. Everton will be desperate to get the win, we should be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
