mjmooney Posted October 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2023 Interesting stat: Quote Villa rank sixth in the Premier League for attempted crosses with 158, although only Luton Town have successfully completed more crosses into the penalty area than Villa, with 21.

Oh it won't be easy by any stretch, but at home we are just different, hard to explain.. we score early and it could be 4 or 5 by half time. We are just that good at home.. but as others have said we could do a Villa and lose this one, but that's the old villa. That's not Emerys Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, TheAuthority said: It might be smart for Digne to get a yellow card in this one meaning that he misses Fulham. I was surprised he didn't get one on purpose against Wet Spam so he'd miss Luton. The biggest worry is Dougie is currently on 4 yellows. Next 1 and he misses a game (several of them have been absolutely bobbins too.) Would of been more prudent for those guys to do the obvious thing against West ham and miss Luton at Home over Forest away with respect.

Mantis Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 We need to avoid complacency becoming an issue here. Emery of course won't be, I just hope the players won't be either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really want either missing Spurs away, who even would we play at LB if Digne wasn't around? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I think Luton could be harder than West Ham as they will just sit back for the game. We found that quite hard going versus Palace and Mostar, though in the end we won both. Luton surprisingly look more up for the fight than Burnley or Shef Utd so far.

The 2 options as I see it are play McGinn (bad option) or play Torres there with Carlos and Konsa central (my preferred) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I just do not see the team playing badly. Reason is that the tactics and style has been drilled into them . Its second nature now. Of course we can get beaten by a better team on the day. But the attention to detail is huge now. And the 11 game winning streak is something that they will not want to let go of. If we play 7 or 8 of our normal starting 11 then i believe we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa is much better than the Championship, we are back where we should be historically, top 5 in the country. And we don’t lose all the time thank you very much, under Emery we’ve won 21 times in the league and lost only 8 times. Need to stop being negative man.

Pongo Waring Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 If we get an early goal I think this could be 4/5-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
