Looks likely as their XG figures are very high and since Poch argued games should be decided on XG it's in thr bag for em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, he was offered to take the penalty against Sunderland in the final game of the season, but declined. Must have been 28'000 in the Holte that day against Sunderland, baking hot too. I just hope Ollie gets the 20th. He deserves that, and the player of the year, especially when you consider the no penalties factor. Come on me Babbys!

Django_Zooms Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Prepared! Commentary on, booze in, wife out, worries gone. Play the reserves and keep the first teamers uninjured. (Jonathan Kodija was just one who was injured in an end of season dead rubber & never really played again for Villa.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheAuthority Posted May 19 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 19 I'd play: Spink Barrett McGrath Mountfield Wright Petrov Bremner Morley Shaw Carew Saunders I started this post and realized that we've lost Ugo, Jlloyd, Dalian & obviously Sid is not in the best of health Life can be fleeting for everyone, even for those blessed enough to play for our wonderful club.

tomav84 Posted May 19 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19 can't wait for today. can't remember the last time i went to a game where the result meant absolutely nothing. obviously don't want us to get dicked 5-0 or anything but going to be nice to be able to feel totally relaxed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 A few things I’d like to see today: Watkins gets his 20th and 21st goals in the first half Duran, Kellyman and KKH all get a half at least No more injuries Villa win 4-2 Unai celebrates full time by running up to the Villa fans and whips off his jacket to reveal the new kit No more injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I see a lot of people picking a team of kids or reserves, don't see that happening, the result doesn't matter but I think Unai will want to win and pick the best team available. Lots of injuries so I think Tim will have to play but otherwise I think our best team available. I reckon it will be: Martinez Konsa Carlos Pau Digne Tim Luiz Bailey McGinn Diaby Watkins I really want to see Watkins score, he's been stuck on 19 goals since the Arsenal game, I just want to see him get to 20 so we finally have a player who's done it in the Premier League. Probably less likely, but I also want to see us keep a clean sheet. We've shipped too many goals this season and only kept 8 clean sheets, although it's going to be extremely difficult keeping out Olise, Eze and Mateta. Maybe Tim plays a blinder of a game assuming he starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t want that, especially if it was a key player like McGinn or Martinez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Martinez, Luiz, Pau and Bailey usually always have pre-match Instagram stories up, nothing so far. Carlos, Digne, Diaby have them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Olsen Konsa - Carlos - Lenglet - Digne KKH - Chambers - Tim - Diaby Duran - Watkins Looks like it's going to end up something like this to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Watkins will want his 20th, an Emery is a winner, so I expect us to go for the win. None of this matters anyway, not even the the league title. It's Klopps last day ya know. Sky will be focused on Klopp when the games finish, not Man City lifting the trophy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but its very unusual them lot not to post Insta stories if they are playing/in the squad. McGinn could be in there but with the video of him out on the lash midweek plus Euros round the corner I would be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Do not care one bit about this, we've achieved our goal and it's a fantastic feeling. Just no injuries/sendings off. Would be nice for Ollie to get 20 and Buendia, the last few minutes. I predict a lot of goals, but can see them with a couple more. (So that's 0-0 guaranteed!)

Doesn't seem likely Buendia will be ready for that: https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/may/17/team-news-for-palace-clash/ Quote Aston Villa will be without a host of players for Sunday’s final Premier League match of the season at Crystal Palace. Nicolò Zaniolo suffered a broken metatarsal during Monday’s 3-3 draw against Liverpool and will now undergo surgery. Technically he is registered in our league squad so he could get a stoppage time run out if Unai thinks he's ready, but he hasn't mentioned anything like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
