sheepyvillian Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) I said to a pal of mine before both home games that i reckoned we could get 4 points, he thought I was "pissed," it may well be six, but I would still be delighted with 4. Come on me Babbys! Edited December 8, 2023 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Odegaard-Saka-Martinelli is a handful. They worry me more than Haaland-Alvarez-Foden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 They are very good but so are we and we are at home which for us is massive, I’m dreaming of 15 straight home wins!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I get the feeling that the setup he applied against Bournemouth both wasn't for that game, and wasn't a good match up against Bournemouth. It was a warm up for the true test against City. It just shows that Unai is miles ahead of everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes though in that case he messed up a bit because he knew it wasn't right for Bournemouth and played it anyway dropping 2 points. He could have played the best team for Bournemouth and we might have ended up with 4 points anyway, a win at Bournemouth and a draw against Man City. Maybe he thought we were strong enough to beat Bournemouth even without playing the best team, tactics, formation for that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) That 4-2 home defeat against Arsenal still hurts. He said the players forgot to control the game. I think he's got a surprise plan up his sleeve. And we at least dont get to see that odious prick Arteta and his little man syndrome attitude on the touchline.

stewiek2 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I remember the media and pundits saying that the Chelsea game was a tough one as Villa had travelled back from Poland having lost, having a days less rest and Chelsea having no week football. We won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Arsenal have won all 6 of their last 6 games. They are on an amazing run of form. Meanwhile, we have won 14 league games in a row at home. Anything could happen, but i think 1-1. TBH, i'd take a draw right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo71 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Wednesday night was a huge effort, will have taken a chunk out of us. But I can't help dwelling on what the performance and result has put into us. And fair to say Unai has been waiting for tomorrow's game since the whistle blew on the last one. It's going to be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 As before the Man City game, I really don't get the opinion of taking a draw. Roll the Villa dice again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we lost to City, maybe not so much, however this game has now become monumental due to what a win would potentially mean. The fans will also be in outstanding form I can imagine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 We are in the title race until we’re out of it. Beat Arsenal on Saturday and it will continue the momentum, and momentum is massive in football. However, there’s still 60% of the season left and so much can change. We might get better? We might lose a few games in a row. It’s way too early to make any kind of judgement on how we’ll finish. Tomorrow’s game with Arsenal won’t decide our season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Here’s my two pence worth . I think there’s a high chance we’ll have an hangover from Wednesday night. Not saying we won’t turn up but I think there’s a chance we’ll be a bit drained. Would not surprise me if we experience the high of Wednesday along with the low of losing our home record within a week . I’d snap your hand off with a draw but even if we did lose it takes nothing away from Wednesday night . Prove me wrong Villa.
