They will likely play with Erikson as the 10 and he will cause loads of problems. They are much better in the last few games than last season and they still managed to finish in the Europa spots last season. Not saying they’re unbeatable but it won’t be an easy game. Since they got smashed against Man City they are unbeaten in 5, winning 3, with only 2 goals conceded. Played Spurs, Chelsea and in form Newcastle in that run. Won all their europa league games in that period as well. They are currently in very good form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 27yrs. 27 flipping years. During that time we’ve had 4 owners, countless shit managers, we’ve even had the joy of watching the likes of Øyvind Leonhardsen, Simon Dawkins and we’ve even watched Chris Samba employed as a center forward. Please let today be the day that ends the misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 We all know VARand reffing will gyp us today. Sure as the sun sets, and the stars turn. MOTD pundits did not even mention the possibility that KDB dived with minimal contact yesterday (he was called clever), and then went on a polemic about how none of the shouts in the Forest Brentford match (there were about 3 or 4) should have been pens because, you guessed it, there was minimal contact. I don't think it's a conspiracy, at that level anyway, because I don't think they even realise they are biased. They were more interested in the Haaland narrative. Coming on and scoring the winner. I wished it had been Shearer on last night, not because of any deep tactical insight, but because he has strong opinions, and I've seen him toe off on VAR and engage in dive-shaming.

Rugeley Villa Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The crowd need to play their part today. Even if it’s not going to plan on the pitch . Gerrard has gone so no excuses to made Villa Park loud today . We’ll either win lose or draw , not sure which one . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 Been feeling good about this for a few days, like we will win it or at least be the better side and get robbed. So, inevitably expect us to be piss poor and get our arses handed to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Its genuinely unbelievable and disgusting that we haven't beaten United at Villa Park since 1995. Not even one fluke win. If Emery manages it in his first game then the hype machine will be off the rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Someone needs to be on Eriksen today. Stop him and we’ll go a long way to getting ourselves into this game. Looking forward to seeing how much impact Emery can have on these sods after a few coaching sessions. Really could do with taking something and getting some positivity back in this place. Everything feels in place at this club except the product on the pitch but finally a manager with proper pedigree is in the door. Hopefully it signals the dawn of a new era with actual progress being made with a defined style of play. Come on you Viiilllaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The only time we ever look like getting something against them, the refs and VAR find a way to screw us over. They're not quite the media darilings they used to be, but I'm sure they'll still get the decisions and we'll still have to fight against 12 men. Maybe with the fans in full voice and the full backing of Emery we'll have enough to overcome them. Come on Unai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 It will be nice not to be able to moan about the line up today. Regardless of whether, say, McGinn starts, we’ve now got a manager who definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, knows better than all of us combined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no traffic problems and I will able to get a pint at the Bartons without waiting for half an hour. The team announcement will come out in which everyone will agree that it is correct formation with the current players. Emery will enter Villa Park on a bed of rose petals whilst acknowledging the crowd, confident that he has finally found his football home. We control the game and win 3-0 and there will be 2 minutes of injury time. This will all happen. It's raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Robbed, never a penalty, no way was he offside, and a red card. I can just hear it. I feel we will play well and up with that sickly feeling of being ripped off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
