Decky Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Hopefully we can take advantage of them still have a caretaker boss and beat them but its definitely going to be a much harder game than it was last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 We are a better team, in great form and at home. No reason at all why we shouldn't be fully confident here regardless who is in charge of them. Villa being up for it and going for it abit more plays into our hands if anything.

HaydnNUFC Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Only Man City and Liverpool have beaten us in the league at SJP under Howe and the former was before January. Villa have only won up here twice in the PL, the latest of which was in April 2005. On both occasions we finished the match with fewer than 11 players. The last time they beat us in a match at SJP that finished 11v11 was in April 1989. It'll be a tough game but if we have any aspirations of European football it's a fixture we should be winning.

Scotty66 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Yeah it'll be a lot harder to scout against their caretaker manager than Emery. If Emery was in charge you know Eddie would be watching every PSG, Arsenal and Villareal game from the last 6 years Edited October 24, 2022 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 We’ve absolutely nothing to be afraid of. The league table doesn’t lie. We’re a good team now and ultra hard to break down. Villa have some good players but almost a full season accumulatively of Gerrard wrecking their careers won’t get fixed overnight. Clean sheet and 2/3 goals. We could be third if Bournemouth do us a favour. And imagine, Maxi and Isak to come into the team when we’re fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Their team from the weekend looks decent but has some proper weak links defensively, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 They will pose a threat on the counter with some quick players, that Bailey finally looked useful last game. But I'm glad our lads can have almost a full week to recover after the busy schedule. Expected changes but with the way we are playing, it could easily be the same 11 again now they were able to grab a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Think it could well be a close affair a la Everton score wise. Reckon we’ll score but they do have some half decent players. Saying that Wilson gets in Mings bonce and nabs an early goal and they’ll probably fall apart but it’ll be interesting to see if they go for it as they did against Brentford. It’s an totally free hit for Aaron Wanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Villa will 100% field the exact same team (bar injuries) and go out to play the exact same way they did against Brentford. Howe will have studied it and knows how to handle them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I have a lot of time for Danny Ings, I think he's the closest thing to Wilson in the league, good finisher, deceptively strong for his size, and the instincts to make sharp incisive runs. Mentally tough too. Does he score often against us or was it just that overhead kick? I've just watched the 4-0 vs Brentford highlights and didn't see much of note. Brentford conceded a sucker-punch short corner routine in the second minute, and that changes the whole game state. Nice to see a penalty given for a shirt pull in the box, but it was no different to the one on Dan Burn at Old Trafford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone knows for sure as they’re just monitoring the hamstring in training. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back in some capacity before the World Cup even if it’s just coming off the bench. The game at Saints, cup game and Chelsea are probably more realistic though but it’d be great just to have him coming off the bench in a few games.
