"I don't know if it's just me, but I feel very disengaged with the club at the moment" If we lose to West Ham it's probably best to just take a break from Villa. Just check the scores and not let it impact your weekends anymore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 12th man stuff. I think Gerrard needs to play a big part in giving the crowd something to cheer. If we play anything like we did against Bournemouth or Palace, there will be booing by half time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve also seen talk about sneaking in cabbages on Reddit. Whilst it’s probably just talk, if someone does actually sneak one in and we are losing… it’s going to cheer me up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Its a must win for me. We have to show strong home form if we’re to stay up at this rate because those 2 showings on the road have been shambolic. West Ham have started poorly after 2 good seasons under Moyes. Just signed Emerson from Chelsea. Apathy has set in early for me after the crap ive seen so far and I just dont see us getting anything. Moyes has our number; he has a physical side who will be well up for their trip to B6 to bully their favourite opponents, a bunch of walkovers who wouldnt meet the height requirements to ride a rollercoaster. 4 wins in a row against us is embarrassing enough, and I dont see that sequence ending here. Kamara the only difference to our side and it makes no difference, we get walked through in midfield still with the way we set up. Praying for a performance to change my mindset about Villa right now but its all very negative again atm. 1-3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It will be a tough game, West Ham have 0 points but they've had an element of bad luck where we've been just complete shite. They've played City, Forest where they could have scored 4 or 5 but lost and Brighton who they can never seen to beat. They are still creating chances are are still dangerous at set pieces which we can't defend at all. Guaranteed to concede at least one goal from a corner.

There will probably be 11 players who have never really played much together against a team desperate for a scalp. Not sure on the situation at Bolton but if they play their strongest team they’ll fancy an upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton are a nice passing league one side, not some big cloggers. If we play the "reserves" that should have been in the PL XI for the last few weeks, we'll see them off without too many issues I think. One guy who shouldn't play is Nakamba because he won't help us keep the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect timing, West Ham will be extremely fired up to get their first 3 points after a dissappinting start. They're coming to the right place Samacca probably to bag his first hat trick as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Think Moyes will be happy with first point of the season and Gerrard will be happy not to lose at home so 1-1. West Ham despite their poor start could easily turn us over as even in good form we always struggle to counter their physicality and direct play and we've been weak v those elements already this season. He has to play 4-2-3-1 here and start likes of Chambers and Luiz just to give us a more balanced 11. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could do with the win, they could do with the win. Seems a perfect scenario for a draw and no one being happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
