I think they were really unlucky not to score 3 or 4 goals but on the other hand at least we limited them to 13 attempts in total which was a pretty good performance defensively against one of the best teams in the world. We've often conceded more than 20 attempts against the top few teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wict01 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I can see us holding Chelsea to a gritty 1-1 draw and then being absolutely rinsed by Brentford when we're expected to attempt to dictate the flow and tempo of a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me nobody has more passion than me when it comes to this club and watching them and even i dont mind this happening just for that to happen, dont ever question my love for this club and mistake it for anything else i bleed aston villa as much as the next supporter Yeah I hope we win and score 2+ goals and I hope we go on to beat Fulham and Brentford with an attacking spark.

Marka Ragnos Posted October 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2022 Villa Fan 1: "I've never wish for Villa to lose, no matter what. I bleed claret and blue." Villa Fan 2: "But we're going to lose anyway, so what does it matter?" Villa Fan 1: "You should at least support the badge -- not the manager." Villa Fan 2: "Fine. I love the badge. We're still going to lose." Villa Fan 1: '"Stop being negative." Villa Fan 2: "But we're going to lose." Villa Fan 1: "That's negative, mate. That's what I'm saying, mate." Villa Fan 2: "Ok, we're going to win." Villa Fan 1: "Now you're talking cack. We're going to lose." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I think as well. Villa usually save their good performances for the top teams (Liverpool last season, Man City twice last season and this season, also played well against Chelsea and Spurs). We’re better when we concentrate on defending and the odd counter. Then get humiliated by Fulham and Brentford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted October 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Being in Australia there is little I can do for my voice to be heard, but what I can do I will do... I won't be watching us against Chelsea, or another match until he is gone. I don't really think I'll be missing much, I don't look forward to getting up in the AM to watch anymore. I watched us get relegated, this is worse imo. Relegation was what we deserved compared to the squad and the investment. This squad deserves a competent manager, I look forward to us hiring one....

Zero7 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I can see a win here, I think we will be hard to score against and may just nick a fluke goal, 1-0... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) So will this be Gerrard’s last game in charge? Probably not, unless the game turns really sour for us and the crowd turn, and make it toxic for him. However, I just have a feeling that we may see another Man City performance and we’ll this time take another point or even more here. Will Gerrard be brave with his team selection? I’m not so sure, one or two changes maybe? Personally I’d love to see us mix it up and surprise the opposition. We’re all too predictable in our formation and personnel. My team: Martinez Konsa Chambers Mings Cash Dendoncker Luiz Young Buendia Ings Archer Gerrard’s team: Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Young Luiz McGinn Ramsey Coutinho Ings Watkins Subs: Olsen, Bednarek, Chambers, Nakamba, Sanson, Dendoncker, Bailey, Buendia, Archer. Quite honestly, I really don’t know what to expect but I think a draw is certainly possible and no doubt acceptable to Gerrard and the board for now.

PussEKatt Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 We beat some of the top teams under other managers,but I cant remember us beating a top team under Gerrard.In fact its really hard to remember us winning ( against any team ) under Gerrard.

Villatillidie95 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This game would have been better if Tuchel was still the manager as it would have been 2 fairly dull and negative teams stifling eachother. Potter is a proactive manager who will change tactics and personnel in profectum, i doubt we will do that and so it is with regret that i think we will lose 3-0 tommorow. We will make a poor start and continue to shoot ourselves in the foot from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
