VillaChris Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 2 hours ago, villa4europe said: not sure if Kane will play, went off injured at the weekend one of the biggest papers here, Bild, which to be fair isnt a great paper, threw him under the bus "whats the point in 3 goals vs kiel if he doesnt have a shot vs leverkusen" He really hasn't done much in the big games since joining them which is always the test of someone who cost 80-100m. Scored v Real Madrid and Arsenal in CL last season but think they were both penalties and he was on the periphery in general play. Not sure if he's scored v Leverkusen or Dortmund either. He can score against us of course but I think in general play he's on the decline now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The display against Ipswich was very disappointing and we looked very disjointed. I know there has been a lot of chat about McGinn’s form recently but in his absence I feel we lack a leader. Hopefully Ipswich was a one off and together with what will be an incredible atmosphere we will get a great result. What's there to be nervous about? Six years ago tomorrow we were playing Preston with Steve Bruce managing (his last game interestingly). That was a period where you couldn't be sure we'd even play premier league football anytime soon but luckily the ball rolled for us (by Whelan missing that penalty) and we took advantage of. Maybe people think Bayern will stick 5 or 6 past us and our season will totally disintegrate from that point but I don't see it like that. I think we'll come out flying with the atmosphere, give a good account ourselves and then see what happens. If Bayern pick us off on the break then I think they'll ease off at 2-0/1-3 as they have Frankfurt away at the weekend which is always a tricky match for them. Was ten times more nervous before the play off finals as those are defining matches for the future of the club. After tomorrow we have six more CL ties so the result dosen't really matter. Just enjoy the occasion, you're paying enough for it after all! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 True, tomorrow is all about embracing the occasion and soaking up the music, the atmosphere, the Gary Shaw tributes, and being proud of our manager and team for getting us to this stage. We might well lose, and that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, but just being back in the big time and giving our all is enough for me. Obviously we want to win, but it’s not essential to our champions league campaign, our season, or our future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Will probably be the best atmosphere of any Villa game this season. For Bayern it's just another group phase game but for our players it will be special. I think we will put in a huge performance but our poor defence will cost us. 1-2 Bayern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't expected to win and we've already won the champions league game we probably needed to so far against Young Boys. If we draw or win then great. This should be a night of pride and celebration. Edited October 1 by turvontour 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go further than that... I'm expecting it to be regarded like Liverpool in the semi final or ajax at home, its going to have a huge buzz around it but as good as an experience it will be for us Bayern are too experienced to be phased by it, personally i don't think it will be the defence as such that costs us, it will be missing kamara, Bayern will run from deep with musiala olise and gnarby / sane, its a huge night for onana and i think he will struggle, the midfield tracking runs will be our undoing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I'm confident we can get a positive result tomorrow. I don't see Bayern as being any better than Man City, Arsenal or Liverpool and we have held our own against those sides over the last year both in terms of results and performances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
