Delphinho123 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 It’ll be exactly the same line up and formation we always see. We’ll knock it around at the back for 2/3 minutes at a time and then just bang it long aimlessly for Watkins to chase. Maybe it will work this time.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted October 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2022 I don’t think there’s much point debating the ‘win vs lose’ thing… I would always go on the win side, but it’s not like what we want ever actually made a difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm… I think it might be, Wes and Nassif are in VP so an embarrassing defeat will hit home a bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also no one really wants Villa to lose, they just think it will lead to a better chance of not losing in the future. It’s quite easy to understand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I want Villa to win but, can we honestly see us even scoring against a team that just played home and away against AC Milan without conceding? I can't help but feel we will lose this by at least two goals. But, what a win it would be if we could somehow get our act together. During the last week at work, a guy I work with told me that a friend of his works at the Villa. This friend apparently told people through social media that Smith would be gone if they didn't get a result v Southampton last season. We all know what happened then. Apparently, this same guy has told my workmate that Gerrard will be gone if we don't get anything out of today's game. If we lose today let's hope history repeats itself.

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) I’m assuming we have sold out as you can no longer by tickets but why stop resales ? Surely it’s worth giving fans a chance to go up to a few hours before kickoff. Plus they make a bit of money from them. Im quite annoyed they stopped this yesterday. I don’t get it. I can’t go so they’ll be an empty seat where somebody could have sat. Edited October 16, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan are shit plus had 10 men most the game on Tuesday. We can grind out a result of players really switched on all game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd rather lock in the money earlier in the week than risk not getting anything at the last moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your optimism when Gerrard's teams rarely are switched on for more than 45 minutes most games if that long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it sells Villa make 15% on ticket price and it prevents an empty seat. Im not going because I’m going holiday in a few days and don’t want to risk getting covid. In the past I’ve been able to put it on resale a day before or even on the day and somebody has snapped it up. It’s all done online too so no extra administration costs either. Seems a no brainer too me. Edited October 16, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s quite easy to understand. Exactly. Pick between short term pain for long term gain or the death by a 1000 cuts we are currently experiencing, why it blows some people's minds to the extent it does I don't understand. Particularly when the board are seemingly looking for any reason to persist with the appointment, something has to give as the current situation is untenable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 If we lose I feel like he's out the door, a draw might just save him. You never know which Chelsea side will turn up, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
