bcarpet Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Their forward line isn't overly physical so I'd drop Carlos and revert back to our usual back 4 with Cash coming in. The rest of the team picks itself unless Unai sees someone is showing signs of fatigue in training yesterday/today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will dismantle them so bad Saka will go home crying to his mommy. Lets get real....They are far from shite.....and will be another stern test for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 1 hour ago, It's Your Round said: 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. it won't....but if we lose we are 7 points adrift. Anyway, I'm just hoping for top 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Arsenal ate not as good as they seem. Have pretty much struggled to get the wins in most games including Luton. We need to watch out for that late goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo Waring Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 If they play like they did against Luton then this could be beat down 5-0 Villa scoreline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt we can beat Arsenal as well, but my concern is twofold- they are currently better than Man City and our players just completely emptied the tank tonight. Can we apply ourselves just as intensely 3 days from now? There's going to be some changes to the starting 11, surely. I'm guessing Diaby for Bailey, Moreno for Digne, Cash back in at RB and Konsa sits. many times we have seen us with a full weeks rest, lose to teams with a mid week game.....sometimes, momentum, focus, adrenaline works in your favour....too much rest can equally be disadvantageous. Only the coaches will know, how much fuel is in the tank. I think that confidence will still be in residue from midweek, and will serve us well.....but its a different game, with different opponents, we have to factor that in....it will require similar intensity to over come them.

I'm just saying. I was going to call it ‘Arsenal’s Cup Final’, but thought that demeans our part in it. It should perhaps just be ‘A Big Title Clash’, since we will hopefully have a few more of them to come.

Popular Post wedge Posted December 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) 57 minutes ago, Rugeley Villa said: 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. I - as I often do with you RV- feel the same. I'd love to stuff it up these weird, fam/blud squealing, AFTV hype-man, entire club-shop replica wearing chuffbucket freaks more than I can describe. With that prat who was trying to wind Villa fans up after they beat us 4-2 at VP last season who got kegged and his hat pinched with the permanently attached Arsenal club shop headphones round his neck being given a leg-and-a-wing off the platform at Aston station into the prickly brambles below by @Follyfoot and his mates as the icing on top of the cake!!

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. Yeah that's what I was getting at - for anything physical removed it'll have been replaced double with belief, and will fire them to new heights (imo).

Really good teams never take the opposition for granted, regardless of who it may be. Remember Stevenage?

It's important we don't let the fact Luton scored 3 goals against them lull us in to a false sense of security. I can guarantee one thing Arsenal won't be, "complacent". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 It is great just to be talked about being in the mix at the top of the league. Looking forward to another cracking night under the lights at Villa Park. The boys have done us proud so far this season. Need a good rest up today and go again tomorrow. I think that applies for both players and fans! Brillant time to be a Villa fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 We have to be vigilant at the back post. they are past masters of scoring at the back post. those little chips in from Saka and Martinelli, need to be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
