CI Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 West Ham don't have a lot to play for really do they If gabby and Zog can get at their full backs I think we could score 2 or 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Guzan Lowton Vlaar Baker Lichaj Sylla Clark Weimann N'Zogbia Agbonlahor Benteke 4-2-3-1 will work fine. Decent size in the back as well. We need to stop conceding so pushing Clark to defending mid is a worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not sure about this being a must win - we're two points off the top of a group of four teams in our 'group' we need to win the group to survive and nothing will be decided today, win lose or draw. It does represent a great opportunity to put a bit of confidence into the side and it's a chance to maybe put QPR out of things completely. Hope comes from our front four and we've got to put West Ham on the back foot from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thing is win today and it's confidence and momentum to take us to the Emitates where we may get a result then, then likewise Ci£y look shot so we could possibly nick something there. Defeat today will relegate us. A draw would be poor but not a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yep defeat today would definitely relegate us - my understanding is that it would be mathematically impossible for us to overcome a two point deficit with just 12 games left. A win would be very, very, very, very useful. A draw would be okay and a loss wouldn't leave us much deeper in the shit than we are now - yesterday's results make today a bit of a free one.

CI Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Today is not a "free one" You've totally missed the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's ridiculous to say that if we lose today it relegates us. Preposterous. We have to overtake Reading and stay ahead of QPR and Wigan to do that - there are 12 games to go and we're two points off topping that group. Win, lose or draw today it's not going to end that competition. A win today wold be fantastic for our prospects of winning that contest, but we're not even on the home straight yet.

rjw63 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 And it's **** raining - again. Football should be moved to a summer game (not that our summer is all that clever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Losing today will not relegate us but it will really do no one at VP any good. We need a win, I don't care how a last second own goal in an otherwise boring game would do. Just enough to give the team some hope (and us!) Come on you Villa boys!!!!!

pacbuddies Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Sick of reading the words 'MUST WIN' game. Every game is a 'MUST WIN' game. I can't think of any situation where we 'MUST LOSE' or 'MUST DRAW'. The stupid cliches are really boring and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 To confirm this is a "MUST WIN" game. 13 games left with Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool still to play. No messing about, we need to go for West Ham right from the start. Weimann, N'zog, Benteke and Gabby all guns blazing please! If we lose today then we might aswell put a white flag outside Villa Park as we are down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretman Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Setting off shortly for this 'Must Win' game. It's pissing down, grey, miserable, cold and generally quite horrid out there. Hopefully Andy Carroll's hair will get particularly wet and he will struggle to get about the pitch carrying the extra weight. Our neatly trimmed squad however will be fine. 3-1 Villa.
