toontownman Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Huge opportunity to keep uo pace with top 6. Mad we could even be 4th. Likely means a big banana skin we can comedy slide on tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurentRobert Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 14 hours ago, St1pe said: I don’t foresee Villa coming out and attacking us rather making life difficult and hitting Watkins on the counter. im convinced after watching us return to our style against PSV - a team prepared to not just sit in - that the answer to our low block issue is getting Wolt to stay up front and actually playing to his feet and getting bodies round him. I get that its hardly a Pep based unpacking of our current tactical issues but I just don’t see our usual pressing style suddenly working again against teams not prepared to open up. Short version is play Wolt over Wissa. Actually pass it to him and get Barnes near him. 3-0 win. Agree. I feel like Wissa will be more effective than Wolt for the PSG match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Really shocked to read (on NUFC.com) that it is over twenty years since Villa won here in the league. 11 wins and 7 draws in that time. In fact they have only won here twice in the PL era. That along with their Thursday night away game in Turkey, should fill us confidence (why am I suddenly anxious…).

Haven't beaten us eleven against eleven since 1989 here. Feel the same way though - a mixture of not wanting to step on pure snow and that overdue feel, but on the other hand so is us winning at Anfield and I'm anxious the other way about that.

We've not conceded in the first half hour of home games, and only twice away from home in the league. If Bruno doesn't play, time for someone else to step up.

Sibierski Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Feels tiresome saying it, but it’s yet another big game To be ahead of Liverpool as we go to Anfield next week will be huge. Just takes a hint of pressure off that game which will help us, and boy do we need some games over these next 6 weeks where pressure isn’t fully on us.

But I suppose on the other hand you could look at it that the same goes for the opposition in knowing what they have to defend against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we can afford to keep starting him with games every 3 days unfortunately. I think it will be big Nick today, and Wissa against PSG on the counter attack.
