Wandy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Before tonight’s game, I had it in my mind that we’d use this game to turn our league form around. Now though I’m pretty sure we will have to wait for the turnaround to start at least one game later. Tonight’s midfield three against Villa will likely be brutal. A point gained would be an absolute joy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best bet would be to play how we did in the second half today, sit a bit deeper then play through their press and counter. Mind we only did it effectively once we were 2-0 up, then everyone suddenly started finding the quick intricate one-twos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It'll be difficult but we can have confidence. Good win tonight, good defensive performance, looking a bit sharper than usual in the later stages. A good result is more than attainable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Maybe the lack training time will show an improved performance. Despite the form table predicting a very comfortable win for Villa, we’ve definitely had it in us to throw a massive spanner in the works. Would love us to be that disruptive again.

Not if Howe persists with that midfield 3, which unfortunately I think he will. It’s a game for for 5-2-3 / 5-4-1 all day long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Our Villa Park record was decent until Bruce really. 6defeats going back to 1989(aka in my time) before that. The same year being the last time they won at SJP against 11men. Is it 3 home defeats in 56years to them? Used to regularly get to the away game and never saw us lose. 4wins and 3draws. Having said that I'd not be despondent with any improvement on last seasons game on this occasion. Edited January 28 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 absolutely no result here. Villa won't even have to make an effort when we play our crap passive 4-5-1 full of holes. We can't even for the life of us keep the ball in the team. That will make us exhausted and will make the performance worse and worse, while the pressure will increase. Oh, no substitutions for tired players will be made. basically Spurs away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
