Don't see why we can't destroy them. And they're away to Fenerbahce tomorrow evening.

 

Their game finishes around 22:45 local time and they're not due back into Birmingham until just before 2am Friday morning.

Feels like a big chance to do them, with their injuries and playing in Turkey.

 

They’re relatively comfortable in the Europa, so wonder if he goes half-arsed tomorrow?

They won’t be looking forward to play us I don’t think going off that PSV performance. We looked really solid last night and Wissa is looking much sharper like he’s going to start scoring more goals. Midfield looking really good with Tonali looking more like his old self (Botman too in defence). They’re still a very good outfit though, should be a great match and atmosphere, might try for a last minute resale ticket.

Stop them shooting from 50 yards out and they've got fuck all in their locker. They'll probably fluke a goal like they do every week, but we absolutely have it within us to batter them.

Emery spat his dummy out (again) in his last interview after the everton game. Hopefully it rubs off on his players and they're feeling sorry for themselves 

Onana Kamara and the little cunt Mcginn being out would he a canny boost like

Long trip to Turkey and hopefully a couple of niggly injuries picked up by their players to keep them out for Sunday would be nice. Three of their primary midfielders being out and Malen going to Roma is a good start.

 

Morgan Rogers pulling a hammy wouldn’t be a bad result for us.

Perfect time to play them to be honest, they got a very tough away game today and we get an extra day rest and home advantage, we just need to be up for it from the start.

 

 

Was thinking the same thing. They will also be starting to feel the season catch up with them, we should have a good shot at winning this at home. Will be interesting to see what side we put out though with a huge CL game a few days later.

McGinn and Kamara out for them, hopefully we can build on last night. Something we haven’t really managed to do on the back of a good win this season.


Two big losses for them even if we have Bruno out ourselves

Sounds like Onana will be back.  But Kamara and McGinn are big players for them so I'm glad they'll be missing.  Especially McGinn as he is infuriating to watch when your team is playing against him :lol: 

 

They like to play out from the back and are hardly going to sit in and defend.  So the game setup should suit us again.  We've often been good against them at SJP since Emery has been there, not bad away a couple of times, too despite the odd hammering.  

 

I'd like to see Miley back in at right back.  Ramsey in the middle assuming Bruno is out.  If Wissa is good to go again, then he should start.  It's difficult for Howe with him coming back from injury and both Wissa and Woltemade costing so much.  But I'm not sure rotating them too often is going to help either find form. 

 

I think Villa will score.  But I reckon we can nick it 2-1.

These guys play a really high line and don’t really press. We can thrash them if we don’t fuck about.

 

Main thing we have to avoid is giving away counters.

given that we've smashed them 5-1 and 3-0 on Emery's previous visits (he was also in the stands for 4-0 before taking over), I suspect he will try something different this time 

 

something to frustrate us and get a draw 

 

and he can use the injuries as an excuse 

 

2-2 would be my prediction

How many games have we won when Bruno has been missing?

Dunno what the number is, but we beat Arsenal away in the semi final without him last season.
