VillaChris Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Both strikers will surely start given they did actually both score for I assume the only time this season in the same game. Could perhaps go 4-2-2-2 again and see what the hell happens (endless blocks from Tarkowski probably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted May 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2022 I’ve absolutely no confidence in a result here, they’re fighting, we’re on the beach… feels like a loss incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Wouldn't be surprised by the draw. I think we will set up to contain them, don't think SG will go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 We were all fair confident we'd not show up against Norwich and look what happened. The comments from SG say he's not going to be happy finishing where we are and I'd like to think the players are aware they are all fighting for their career at AVFC so let's see how much they want it. Going for a Villa win, 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Tough game but hopefully with their recent results and the positions of Everton and Leeds they may subconsciously think they’re safe and naturally relax a bit I’d opt for the following Martinez Cash.Chambers.Mings.Digne McGinn.Iroegbunam.Luiz Buendia.Coutinho Ings Subs: Olson, Konsa, Young, Nakamba, Chukwuemeka, Sanson, Watkins we have a poor record at turf moor but think we’ll get something from today.

MakemineVanilla Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Being familiar with Villa history, I suspect that Burnley's bruisers will want it just a bit more than Gerrard's cherubs. Burnley don't score many goals and have two players with seven each: Cornet tops their list with 7 because he's played fewer games than Rodriguez. Cornet is a winger and so presumably one of Villa's backs is going to have a busy time, and no doubt will get a strategic kicking to swing the contest. I don't expect much protection from the referee and I suspect Burnley will be given a lot of licence, out of sympathy. Prediction: 1-0 either way or a low-scoring draw.

romavillan Posted May 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2022 If the ref doesn't let them get away with their usual shithousery we should have enough to beat these. They will be fighting for their lives though so the coaching staff have a big motivational job to do so that we match their intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Before the excuses set in. Not one Burnley player would get in the Villa team probably not even the squad. Yes they are fighting for their lives but so are we and if we dont win then is serious issues A performance like last week and we will lose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I’d be very content with a draw today, a win would be great but a draw puts the spectre of relegation firmly to bed. That being said I think we’ll lose, there’s not enough aggression and desire about us at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see a repeat of Leicester tbh. Just sit back and have sporadic counter attacks and they aren't big goalscorers so feels a 1-1 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Charlie Taylor at LB aswell. Would be a good pick up for us if they go down given we need younger backup to Digne next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we're completely safe from relegation because we're not but we're 500/1 to go down for a reason. Burnley, Everton and Leeds are fighting for their lives. Us, Brentford and Southampton are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
