LV Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The thing with us at the moment is that even if we go a goal down I’m still confident we can recover and win. Not often I’ve been able to say that about Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 First goal will be fairly important. If Villa take the lead they'll drop into their 6-2-2 shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I don't think we'll get beat, but got to fancy them to score. Fancy a 1-1 or a hard-fought 1-2 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Always a bonus, granted if a squad is coached well enough to play a specific way (like they are) it has less of an impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Coutinho's been out ages and last started when they were losing games. Cash hasn't played in the last three, and Kamara's started one of the last five. Bailey though is good news for us but for context we're missing our top scorer.

I think Kamara is a big miss to be fair, they look at lot more balance with him in the middle and McGinn as one of the false wingers. He's also a lot more press proof than McGinn.

SUPERTOON Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 We will obviously have to play much better than the first half against Brentford and West Ham, however if we do this is a winnable game. I’ve watched a lot of them recently and they do seem to give up a lot of chances. If we are switched on from the off then we have a real chance.

The Prophet Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The last week definitely bought us a loss or two, but I see no reason why tomorrow should be one. Yes, they're in great form and it won't be easy, but our recent form is arguably more impressive given the opposition played. The game will be won and lost based on how they cope with our press. I'm interested to see if they try and play through it or bypass it all together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 They've not faced a midfield like ours, if Joelinton is paired up with Bruno, and Willock is the runner, we should have a good afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Oh man at start of season I was really excited for what would be the last season we may have without any expectation (or fear of relegation), with no thought would do this well just a season of bedding in new signings and preparing for next season when push for europe starts proper. No nervousness because it was all a free hit. And now I'm anxious about Villa away cos i want 3 points and to try and secure 3rd place... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
