Villa87 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Think I’d go: Emi Cash Carlos Pau Moreno Bailey Kamara Luiz Ramsey McGinn Watkins With Diaby, Youri and Digne to come on. I agree that pushing McGinn further forward would disrupt their two holding midfielders. We could do with Ramsey’s direct running to pin their wide players back.

Django_Zooms Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Perhaps Graham Fenton will play in the hole to confuse Roy Keane again? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I'd really like to see Ramsey start and hopefully Torres too. Ramsey can be so direct with the ball at his feet and Villa have lacked this aspect recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Play anything like we have in the last two months and we will get hammered. Not looking forward to this at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hoping for at least a draw. A loss could see us go into a freefall. Just think it would destroy morale around the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Lets see how many Man United fans are sitting in the home end, They're so easy to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 last year, Ramsey and Moreno worked so effectively together. What made that work was that Ramsey moved inside, pulling their RB toward the center and creating space down the touchline for Ramsey. This forced the RB to move back out (late) and then the rest of the defense had to adjust to cover JJ and Ollie. This forced the oppenents back line to be always shifting and adapting, that creates openings but also anxiety in the opponent. But when Bailey and Cash play the seem to neutralize each other and get in each other's way. I would like to see Bailey (or Diaby) in front of Cash but do the opposite of JJ and Moreno. Bailey could start central but move toward the wing (he doesn't like that, because he wants to put it onto his right foot and shoot.) but if he would drag the LB wide, and then Cash could attack more centrally. Causing more chaos and missed coverages in their back line. It also forces the opponent midfield to drop deeper to pick up this central run.

Robtaylor200 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The lad got us tickets for this one. My first game as an OAP . Has to be a win, we always win when it's a special day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Cannot concede early is the key. Emery needs to make a few adjustments last 2 home games the side has been all over the place. We need big games to from our senior players alot went missing against Newcastle and Chelsea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a momentum perspective it would put United 5 points behind us and may well give them the belief to catch us. If we were to lose our third home match in a row you have to wonder what it would do to our confidence. It feels a big match not to lose should we want to finish in the top 5. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 We have to believe we can turn it around, Emery will and I expect the players will but the longer we go without playing well and winning the more it becomes a mental issue. But let’s not forget we smacked Sheff U for 5 in the last league game, we’re not a terrible team all of a sudden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s not forget we smacked Sheff U for 5 in the last league game, we’re not a terrible team all of a sudden. 3 wins in the last 8 games also says we’re in poor form at the moment. Not sure if a resurgent Man Utd team is the game we can turn it around in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
