ozvillafan Posted December 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2023 ... why do I have a bad feeling about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I'm quietly confident. Not only is the team not up to much, the manager hasn't got a clue, unlike the draw to Sheffield United, where Wilder had a bit of experience how to lock it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Burnley are pretty shit, but actually have a better record away than at home (where they've lost every game but one) Away they have a couple of wins and draws, and generally have kept it tighter at the back. Hopefully the players dont take the same attitude as some fans expecting this to be a walk in the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Burnley will set up to do exactly what Sheffield United did. We will need to find more guile in our game if we're to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Do Burnley have a striker who hasn't scored all season or a player who's played 987 games for them without scoring a goal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their manager is City’s version of Gerrard. expect us to be top of the league come 5pm. Kompany is afar better manager than Gerrard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Kompany wont chsnge his philosophy. They over play out from the back. That is where we get them. Press them high and hard. A mistake will come. Another thing. Trafford is a great shot stopper and has played more passes than any other keeper but is weak from crosses. He will not like the Luiz inswinging corners Edited December 30, 2023 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but sounds like a bit risky strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is there problem, they stick to Kompany's tactics all season, they haven't parked the bus against any team this season I don't think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Villa will likely play much the same way but I'd prefer to see Cash and Moreno play so that we are more aggressive and direct. Hopefully we win and put some pressure on the top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Normally quite pessimistic about Villa results but quietly confident we will get the 3 points today. As Unai keeps saying we should respect the opposition but try to impose our game. If we do, hopefully we should get the win. UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
