I don't think even Zatman hates Gerrard enough to want Villa to lose. I think it’s very obvious that a number on this thread do but let’s ask them. Who would prefer villa to lose today if it meant that the manager was sacked? For avoidance of doubt I’m firmly supportive of the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never want Villa to lose despite what I feel about the manager past or present. For the avoidance of doubt I support the manager 100% during games but I’m less than convinced that he’s right for us generally and seen nothing to date to change my mind but I’m open for him to change my mind if things improve.

Pinebro Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 These journalists are surely paid by the club? No challenging questions whatsoever. Very boring press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alreadyexists Posted August 13, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2022 MATCH DAY!! Woooooo! International football can go to hell, so can summer and the heat, so can transfers and all that rubbish. I just want Villa Park, full to the brim, the Holte singing and the Villa Boys getting a win!

Very boring press conference. Journalists today can't climb the corporate ladder if they ask uncomfortable questions. This goes for all areas they cover, not just football. They are part of the football machine much like their colleagues that cover politics are part of the political establishment. It's all a bit corrupt and nepotistic really, but not exclusive to football and the Premier League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit nobody wants us to lose, difference between wanting amd expecting. Even if we scrape a 1-0 playing his putrid style of football people won't be happy Edited August 13, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after all these years, I still get that buzz as I climb the steps inside the Holte step out into the sunlight and get my first view of the pitch. Always seems like the first time I have seen it and I still have to take a picture Edited August 13, 2022 by Robtaylor200 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 But my prediction is 2-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 After last weeks dross I have no idea why I’m feeling confident for this game. Everton played well last weekend but was it just because it was opening day of the season or was it they just raised their game because they were playing one of the big boys. Never usually want to say 2nd game of the season is a big game but I feel like a loss here and the wheels will start to come off for Gerrard but I expect a reaction from the players. Starting line up wise I expect Watkins to come in, either for Bailey or Ings and possibly Douglas Luiz in for Ramsey. Coutinho was poor last week but I don’t expect him to get dropped for Buendia yet. I don’t expect Gerrard to climb down from Mings dropping so early so unchanged elsewhere. For some reason I’ve got in my head it’s going to be a convincing 3-0/3-1 win which I will no doubt look back on and look stupid but I think this week has seen a lot of negative stuff from Villa and I think the players will come flying out the blocks.

The mood is Gerrard is under pressure and more so tomorrow if we lose. Everton lose and it’s 2 consecutive defeats, on the back of barely staying in the league and the there is no talk of Lampard been under pressure. Everton also narrowly lost to Chelsea a game they were in We lost to Bournemouth a game we didn't bother competing in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 13, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2022 Villa Park in the sunshine - yes please. Parking up more than two hours before a 12:30 kick off so that you can find a space - well, I suppose it's just how it is isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 How I would love to see wingers playing on the wing and Ings in the middle. I truly believe that get the crosses in and Ings will be the better option to score. Surely this the reason he scored so many before coming to Villa. Play to his ability rather than ask him to pay differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I have a really good feeling about today. 3-1 win with Bailey (2) and Buendia on the scoresheet and Watkins narrowly missing someone in row z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
