Brumstopdogs Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Thought it was a definite yellow card at the end of the first half so Fulham should be down to 10 men. The penalty was a soft one - don't like them given for stuff like that to be honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moustache of Teale Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Atmosphere’s absolutely rocking at this game. The animosity between these 2 west London rivals is palpable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Brentford in 9th are 4 points ahead of us with a game in hand. That's exactly the reason why a top 10 finish is going to be very difficult and Europe out of the question. We'd need Champions League form for the rest of the season to do that. We may catch Fulham tho. That's our best chance for 10th I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win Sunday and you would think its possible as Emery will not let us rest on our laurels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford who havent lost since Emery has been at Villa? Fulham maybe, which I why I think we may catch them, but the others are not going to switch off.

villa4europe Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Not seen enough of them to know but as they do well and climb who are the top six coming in to buy to destabilise them? They'll obviously lose toney to the ban but it doesn't feel like the vultures will pick them apart like they did with us Same goes for Fulham,Brighton (obviously already lost Potter and cucurella) and money aside even Newcastle apart from bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caicedo seems to be a big target for Arsenal, and I could see Mitoma and Mac Allister attracting interest. Already lost Trossard to Arsenal - those others going would be huge blows (although they seem to recruit well, so who knows). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Dortmund simply aren't as good as 4-5 years ago, mediocre set of forward players. Would be strange to actually see them win Bundesliga considering how much weaker their first 11 is to some of the excellent teams they had under Klopp/Tuchel. Don't have an issue with Chelsea staying in for another round as more likely to drop points in league games around those fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
