sne Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Can't expect us to beat a all but mathematically already down Norwich at home as we don't have a word class midfield. After all we are up against the likes of Kenny McLean, Mathias Normann and the fish pun guy. This should/must be a game where our flawed tactic actually works because Norwich are so bad that leaving 1 guy alone to cover the whole of the midfield should still be OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 7 minutes ago, VillaParkAvenue said: If SG plays both Coutinho and Buendia, I hope he has a plan to try and move their defence around a bit more. Otherwise it could be like those fairly recent games against Newcastle and Watford where they park the bus, we try and play through centrally but create zero actual chances. It doesn't matter who you play and where......if they don't do whats asked of them and they become passengers, the whole thing fails. 11 players doing their bit and applying themselves to the task......we win.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) The expectation that a comfortable win is a " given " in matches like this, always scares the crap out of me. Edited April 30, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Be good to see a little tweak in this one with McGinn amd JJ swapping positions in midfield. With Young at left back we need one left footer on the left to give some balance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 3-1 to the Villa. We will be 2 up by half time and then let in a goal to make it interesting. Have a feeling a random might score today like Young. UTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping that we have 8 shots to begin with to give us a chance of scoring a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep me too, against a team that while crap they have nothing now really to play for, a manager that knows our players as well as we do or their flaws. We haven’t been playing well, we concede early goals and we don’t create many chances and think we are at the beach and this will be an easy win. We should batter these but it wouldn’t be out of the realms to lose to an early 1-0. I hate games like this when you expect to win but you are in poor form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I found it strange that Gerrard said in his presser that he hadn't told the squad the team yet. I can only think of two reasons for that: 1) worried about someone leaking the team to smith?!?!, which doesn't make sense. 2) or, we might see an unexpected starter, like Timmy?

Apart from a period last game I’ve not seen us “really want to win”, has been more “really want to be on the beach” We wanted to stop the rot last week, and I'm sure iur players want to win this one.

foreveryoung Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It'll be a game we will be able to spot the crap. The players that need moving on. If they can't perform against these, they can't perform period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right colours as well, almost. They really dont. If Burnley go down they are gone. They are in so much trouble financially if they do Norwich are in decent condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
