Two magnificent wins against City and Arsenal, a chance to go top at Christmas and we blew it against this lot. However, hopefully we can get som revenge and get past their anti football defending and grab a win to get going again. The City game was up there with one of the best performances of all time. We were incredible and played the champions off the park. Should have won by more than one goal. Was only a couple of months ago so we know we are a very, very good side. That game was proof. And we know Unai is a top manager who can fix things quickly as he did so last season when we were in poor form. But recently everything is off, everything is so slow, and the high line is exposing us against quick players. January was a flat month, hopefully February will be better starting with a win today. We need every player to be committed and not passive and move the ball quickly and at pace. If we do that we will win the game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Think it will be a close game and think we’ll need to score at least 2 goals to win this one. 2-1 to the mighty Villa. UTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Going to be tough, we are in a slump, I think this is going to be one of them games where we huff and puff but lose 1-0 . Then after the match Watkins gets pelters for missing his chances. Just seen while watching sky sports news that sky put an stat on for the game.. only PL side not to concede a pen... thats it then, guaranteed pen for Sheff Utd.

VillaChris Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I think Spurs winning the early game will focus the minds a bit more and we'll come out very determined. Doesn't really say much for this squad's mentality if we meekly just give up at this point because Spurs have strung a few wins together. Certainly not going to win anything with mentality like that.

They are bottom for a reason and the f*ckers jammed a point against us at VP by playing ultra defensive Wilder tactics. Basically if we can't beat these at least once this season we may as well pack up and go home. Unai needs to show that he's an elite manager by putting an end to this horrific run we're on. come on now, they didnt "jam a point" against us, we "jammed a point" against them with our 97th minute equaliser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to just focus on the last minute leveller then fine, I focus more on the fact that we tried to play all the football and didn't get a number of contentious decisions including a penalty and a goal which was I feel unfairly disallowed given some of the goals that have been given for similar recently. It's our own fault of course for not breaking them down that day (as well as having no decisions go our way), but a team that comes just to defend for 80 minutes more often than not loses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Chance to go back ahead of Spurs after their draw with Everton, and so naturally we will screw it up. Hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 We simply cannot start slow. It cost us in the home game. Allowed them to get organised and stifle us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
