Johnnyp Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 We have talent in spots to hurt any team but the determining factor will be city’s bottle and nerve. They are human, bound to feel it. Think they’ll be camped in our half from basically kick off. We have 2 or 3 players who could hurt them if they aren’t on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icouldtelltheworld Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I'd take a 2-0 loss with Grealish staying on the bench if it was offered to me right now tbh. So glad this season is over 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 15 hours ago, TomC said: Here's an idea that SG would never try but would be interesting... If you want to throw City off their game, do what Greece did to everyone at Euro 2004...man-mark and play with a sweeper, just as a one-off. Even back in 2004, zonal marking was so established that nobody remembered how to play against a sweeper system. Guardiola's system is based on creating overloads in a zone...if everyone is tightly marked, it makes it harder to overload one area. Of course, the weakness of man marking is that you can be dragged out of position by intelligent running. But they aren't going to be prepared to do that. What do we have to lose? If we play that way? The match, most likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 2 down after 25 minutes and we'll have ruined the weekend for every single football fan wanting drama. 4-1 final score. City to get a penalty and a ridiculous VAR intervention. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UpTheVilla26 Posted May 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2022 Winning the toss is key. If we do, I say we kick off, then get all 11 players to link arms and just make a circle around the ball. Any time a Citeh player attempts to get to it, it will be a foul, rinse and repeat. 0-0 at HT. 2nd half, as soon as we get it back from their kick off, we do the same. Job done. Liverpool win the League, Grealish has the same amount of trophies as he currently has and the whole football world is talking about Villa for months on end as Citeh look to find a way to sue us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Sadly, i can't see anything other than a defeat here. I'm not even going to watch it as the City and Grealish wankfest will be unbearable to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 could get a draw? Jurgen, come on, you know better than anyone that if we are on top of our game, we can get seven or twelve In seriousness though he can hold onto the fact that we played really well against them earlier in the season and really should have got a draw.

ferguson1 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Please don’t give them one of those Aguero/QPR moments in the final minutes. I couldn’t stand it if we were somehow a goal up and then somehow lost 2-1 in injury time with Grealish helping them to the title. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Part of me would be very annoyed if we some how beat City today given some of the absolute rubbish we have lost to and drew with this season. That being said there isn’t a chance we win today. I would rather City win the league than Liverpool doing the quadruple.

Brumstopdogs Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Amusing that Liverpool fans have more confidence in us getting a positive result. I'm going for 3-0 to City but obviously hope we give them a decent match. Would like us to try and disrupt the likes of Rodri and Cancello who normally get most of the ball for them but can't see it happening. Anyway UTV and in the words of P.Lambert "we go again!"

Jareth Posted May 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2022 I'll take a 10-0 so long as Leeds get relegated today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Gerrard might want to win it for Liverpool but our players do not care one bit about that. Digne could even volley the ball into his own net, take his shirt off and reveal an "Up The Toffees" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Two likely scenarios imo We play brilliantly but draw or more likely lose to dodgy ref/VAR decision We play average or rubbish and get battered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
