gbandit Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Surprised by the comments in here, they've been shambolic all season (mainly courtesy of Gerrard) and they sack their manager. They get a good result at home against an average side and next they come to one of the toughest away fixtures in the league, us. I don't know why people aren't more optimistic. Our press will absolutely destroy Tyrone Mings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting a draw from? We’ve just beaten Spurs away. We drew with Man U at their place. We have the best defensive record in the league. We’re at home in front of our own fans. It’s only Villa. I don’t understand the pessimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Villa's away form as been wank this season tbf and our crowd are going to be up for this. Early goal would be huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 We’re due an annoying loss tbf. None would be more annoying than getting beat by this lot at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Emery can’t even take training till next week so hard to imagine he will have any say or impact on tactics etc. if villa come out like they did against Brentford it will suit us.

Kanji Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 We will be at home with a crowd buzzing and another opportunity to keep the pressure on the top of the league. Can’t wait for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Can´t see them getting out of their half too often. Be nice to put 5 past this lot and cement our place at the top end of the table. Maxi back in for 30 mins to score a wondergoal and Miggy to get a brace. Botman header and Schar blunderbuss from 50m yards. I reckon i will get one of these right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I say that Botman will get his first goal (header from a corner) pretty much every game, it’s going to happen soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically agree with you, but overall I think we struggle most with teams who aren't trying to beat us, so I can see the logic in not being too confident. It's definitely a game we should be winning, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Villa haven't won at SJP since the Bowyer Dyer fight 17 years ago like. It takes some doing to have not beaten us at some point at home under Ashley. I still think we'll beat them but it'll be tight and a draw is possible. If Gerrard was manager we would have absolutely battered them though and I was looking forward to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) If they don't get a manger in beforehand it'll be an easy win imo. If anything that last game against Brentford will give them a false sense of confidence. Edit: Just seen they got Emery in as manager, will make it harder but we should still be beating them.

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Brentford at Newcastle Brentford at Villa Assuming Brentford's big chance against us was the lucky pen they were awarded which will have upped the xG by 0.8 if I'm not mistaken. Given how poor Brentford were against us at SJP I don't think Villa's win against them should be anything that concerns us, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Villa are a bit of an unknown quantity at the moment, but if they play like they did against Brentford, they'll play straight into our hands. They're dangerous in attack, but teams that commit players forward and engage us high up the pitch are susceptible to our counter pressing, arguably our most potent weapon. They'd be far better off playing a low defensive line to frustrate and trying to counter with Watkins and Bailey down the flanks. I'm fairly confident we win this one, 3-1.
