ferguson1 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Never really been a fan of a Sunday afternoon game at Villa Park as the atmosphere tends to be a little flat and much prefer a game under the lights. However, with Coutinho signing in permanently, it may just change that. Gerrard vs Vieira was a good clash when they played on the pitch and will probably be a good clash on the touch line for a few years to come. They have some real good attacking players, with trickery and pace, so won’t be easy. However, they’ve had some indifferent performances, so more than beatable. A couple of changes would be good again to keep the team fresh and one may be enforced if Watkins doesn’t make it. Whether it’s 4-3-2-1 or 4-1-3-2, I’d like to see Coutinho and Buendia back together, especially if we can get another hour out of Nakamba. McGinn probably deserves a rest, with Carney coming in. Let’’s see if dangling a carrot to him again, gets him to sign his contract. Martinez Cash Chambers Mings Digne Nakamba Carney Luiz Buendia Coutinho Ings Subs: Olsen, Konsa, Young, Iroegbunam, Sanson, McGinn, Bailey, Traore, (Watkins or J Ramsey). Going to say 2-1 win.

Nicho Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just managed to get tickets to this, sitting in the Holte on a sunny day. Should be a good game of two evenly matches teams. Watkins not going to make it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 My phone just showed the message "Villa prepare to take on the Eagles" Think it's a bit of a mismatch us playing against 1970s soft rock/country style musicians who must be too old to play football now surely? I have gone for a close 2 - 1 win, with Joe Walsh to score for them with a late penalty 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 im looking forward to this one, hopefully it will be great weather on the day. bit annoyed at no direct trains to birmingham, will have to go to rugby and then change which is annoying but oh well. great chance for us to have a strong end to the season here, hopefully the feel good factor around the club regarding the positive performance against liverpool and permenant signing of phil C mean we are in good voice and get behind the team from the off. The palace away fans will certainly back their team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2022 Coutinho magic show coming up, now that he's all nice and settled I think we'll see a performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Never a fan of Sunday afternoon kick offs but ive always maintained the FA Cup final should be a stand alone fixture on the Saturday ( I know you have forest - sheff Utd ) but premier league games shouldn’t be played so yeah im glad they’ve reverted to the original way it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're tough to break down and have pace and skill on the break. However our recent record is decent particularly at VP. Will go for 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 On 12/05/2022 at 18:21, OutByEaster? said: Just as an aside, people might think this game means nothing in the scheme of things - but there are five points between 15th and 10th and we're slap bang in the middle of that - the difference between those two positions is something like £10m in prize money - about two thirds of a Coutinho - beating Palace and Burnley will make us more money than the season ticket uplift and could make a difference to our summer. Or far more money that the increase in season tickets we all have to pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We used to have some really good matches with Assna in Vieira’s day. I used to love going into games with Savo and Yorke up top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 If Watkins is out, it's definitely time for Emi and Phil from the off. A back three is the best way to get two 10s onto the pitch.

OutByEaster? Posted May 14, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 14, 2022 It'd be nice if they could stop scheduling the roadworks to coincide exactly with our home games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlwaysAVFC Posted May 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2022 Picked up a ticket yesterday. Moved back to the Midlands August 2020 but life has meant this is my first game at Villa Park since I've been back. Partly down to no crowds allowed, but I went more when I lived 100 miles away. Looking forward to it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
