Same team & same effort please.

Dunne & Heskey.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Toronto Villa on January 02, 2011, 07:27:27 PM: 3-1 Heskey, Ash and Gabby. Bent for them. I don't want to get too carried away and suddenly predict clean sheets as well as a win.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: richard moore on January 02, 2011, 07:28:00 PM: 1-1

I'm not getting carried away. Sunderland will be much trickier than we think I reckon though I hope I'm wrong naturally...
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: TheSandman on January 02, 2011, 07:32:30 PM: 3-1.

Same team please.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: TopDeck113 on January 02, 2011, 07:39:53 PM: This is a must win.

I'm not going to let today's result lead me to any premature expectations of some great leap forward. I expect a scrappy 2-1 win not dissimilar to the Albion game.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: taylorsworkrate on January 02, 2011, 07:41:33 PM: 2-1 defeat.

Bent with both of theirs,

Downing for us.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Confusious says on January 02, 2011, 07:44:39 PM: 1 - 1 hope we can win though, especially after todays performance. It would be good for full backing from all send Mr Potato Head back home with his tail between his legs, especially after his aproach for Downing via the press.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: mrfuse on January 02, 2011, 07:44:41 PM: Sunderland win 2-0, Bent then Gyan from the bench and a stupid celebration because for some reason he thinks he can dance but looks like a right cock!
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: luke25 on January 02, 2011, 07:56:09 PM: This won't be easy, they're good at the back and their strikers are dangerous, we need to take todays high and get at them from the start, an early goal and we'll do them 2-1
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: WikiVilla on January 02, 2011, 08:07:10 PM: 2-1 home win, Heskey & Gabby
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Ads on January 02, 2011, 08:09:45 PM: I don't think they're much cop. Certainly not away from home. They stole a point last season, but will get turned over on Wednesday now we have some belief to go back with our exprienced players.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Legion on January 02, 2011, 08:10:24 PM: Their away form is awful.

Post by: villajk on January 02, 2011, 08:25:05 PM: Like Richard, I'm not going to get too carried away. This is going to be a different type of game.

I think it'll be a draw although obviously I'm hoping for a win and a very emphatic one at that.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: imull43 on January 02, 2011, 08:37:11 PM: wont be easy, good to see the senior players putting a hard shift in, some tired legs at the end but we have the players to get up the table.

Post by: The Left Side on January 02, 2011, 09:16:00 PM: Draw for me, Sunderland always seem to enjoy playing us but if they don't bring many down as its a midweek game we might squeak it but the pessimist in me has gone for the 1-1.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Lobsterboy on January 02, 2011, 09:18:36 PM: I'll go for a very tense 90 minutes and a 1-0 win for the Villa.

Dunne to score the winner in front of the Holte in the last minute and then run to the centre spot and whip his shirt off a la Ginola revealing a newly acquired six pack to the Villa Park faithful...

Post by: damon loves JT on January 02, 2011, 10:32:21 PM: A really nervous, tense game. Late equaliser for Villa, 1-1 and both sides happy with a point.

Though clearly I hope we stuff them
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

Post by: Karlos96 on January 02, 2011, 10:46:58 PM: Think this will be a tough one we really need to win it but I think it will be 1-1.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: JD on January 02, 2011, 11:23:23 PM: A scrappy 2-1 win to Villa. 2-0 up and coasting then concede a goal in the last 10 minutes and panic sets in, but we manage to hold out (just).
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: SoccerHQ on January 02, 2011, 11:34:06 PM: Sunderland are 6th so should be respected and we'll certainly struggle to keep a clean sheet against the pace of Bent, Wellbeck and Gyan imo. Bruce also has a very decent managerial record at VP, one defat in 7 I think.

That all said, that 3-0 win at Chelsea they had was a fluke as since then they've lost at Wolves and drawn 0-0 at Fulham.

So hopefully 3 goals at the Bridge will give us more confidence going forward. 2-1 us.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: dave.woodhall on January 02, 2011, 11:34:54 PM: No problems at all. 2-0.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Shrek on January 02, 2011, 11:38:47 PM: I'd rest gabby, especially if has took a knock, we should have more freedom and I am really confident of a result.

If Warnock plays 2-2

If Clark plays 2-1
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Jimbo on January 03, 2011, 02:02:20 AM: 1-1, a frustrating shift.

Post by: Mattwall on January 03, 2011, 09:14:21 AM: 2-1 don't think it will be easy but if we put in same performance as yest then we will be ok. Need a few good results before we play the scum
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Matt Collins on January 03, 2011, 09:40:00 AM: I'd bring in albrighton for gabby. I think I'd play it safe and stick with the same back 4, even though it does mean playing with 4 centre halves. Has the look of a tight 1-1 to me. Sunderland's only away win was at Chelsea. I reckon we might just sneak this 2-1 with a late-ish winner. Heskey and Collins.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: supertom on January 03, 2011, 10:17:33 AM: They've got 3 decent forwards who've scored goals this season, so we need to watch whichever two play. I have no idea who's fit for them or not though.

But if we keep up the same level as last time out, then we should get 3 points.

2-1 Villa
Heskey
Agbonlahor.

Don't agree, like Stephen Hawking, we're still totally incapable of clean sheets.

That said, 2-1 to us, both goals from Ashley.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Walmley_Villa on January 03, 2011, 10:44:50 AM: I'm interested in seeing who's fit as we lost Gabby during the game and Heskey/Ashley were struggling. Emile really is key...
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Dribbler on January 03, 2011, 11:28:07 AM: If we can i hope we go with the same line up as for the Chelsea game, we need to build a bit of consistency in the team. 3 points is a must from this game but Sunderland are tough opposition so it won't be easy.

2-1 to the Villa.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Mr Diggles on January 03, 2011, 11:34:53 AM: For me, it's not a case of 'can win', but 'must win'. Any other result could result in the loss of the positivity and momentum from the Chelsea game.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Chris Smith on January 03, 2011, 11:38:10 AM: The same sort of effort and commitment as yesterday and we'll win.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Greg N'Ash on January 03, 2011, 11:40:41 AM: 2-1. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet, but reckon we'll nick it after the confidence boost of yesterday
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: PeterWithe on January 03, 2011, 11:41:06 AM: 2-2

We dont look like keeping clean sheets and I reckon a nervy crowd and defense will mean another late goal for the opposition.

Excellent. Well considered and totally unbiased, I'm very pleased to say.
I agree.

Post by: Ian. on January 03, 2011, 12:07:20 PM: Lets hope all these positive vibes coming from Villa Park from the last couple of days stay true. They showed yesterday we mean it but it must continue now till the end of the season.
We need a win, I don't care if its 1-0 as long as we win. We need to get a momentum going. Results first, a few new faces and then the quality football will follow......please!
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

We have run out of clean sheets.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: fredm on January 03, 2011, 12:14:47 PM: Thought I had read that Bent was injured and not playing. May be wrong though.

If we can keep the same team as yesterday that will boost confidence and should see us get another hard fought victory.

However they will not be easy and I hope the crowd get behind the lads and not on their backs!

Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Villafirst on January 03, 2011, 12:51:57 PM: I think we'll nick this 2-1. Lee Cattermole is injured, so this represents a big loss in midfield for them.

You're right, Bent is doubtful with an eye injury and Wellbeck is also doubtful with a knee injury - add to that Cattermole is definitely out and they look a bit weak.

Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Irish villain on January 03, 2011, 04:16:44 PM: We must win this game to push on and drag ourselves out of the quagmire.

I think we will too, 3-1 to the home side. If we can score three against Chelsea maybe we have the firepower afterall to win games like these.

Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: JJ-AV on January 04, 2011, 02:14:04 PM: I'd definitely opt for the same team, if they play 4-3-3 they do seem to get very narrow so the 4 natural centre halves could be helpful in that regard.

Saying that, Gyan was on the bench last game... So who knows.
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: darren woolley on January 04, 2011, 02:24:12 PM: 2-1 Gabby and Heskey scoring, we do need to win this to push on after getting a good result against Chelsea we need to keep the momentum going and start climbing the table.

Be good to see Gab get a goal or two.

Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: ozzjim on January 04, 2011, 10:03:49 PM: I would bring Albrighton in for Gabby too, and only use Gabby for last half hour for Heskey or Young depending on fitness. The delivery of Albrighton is our best route to goal, so we need him in at home for me, and he should be rested, and well bollocked for silly piddling about on the ball at Chelsea on the edge of his box in the 90th fecking minute!
Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

Title: Re: Aston Villa v Sunderland Pre-Match Thread
Post by: Monty on January 04, 2011, 10:38:40 PM: Difficult one to judge tactically. Sunderland this season remind me of us during MON's second season - exciting, but given the chance to be because teams would attack and leave themselves open to the counter. When teams sit back against them, they have difficulties in breaking them down, they get a little cross-and-hope. To be honest, we're good on the counter as well, so this is one of those games where the always important first goal could actually help it end up 3-0 to one side or the other.

Heskey

Cant agree with Cuellar at right back particularly with the emphasis at home to create chances. Did you see his effort of a cross towards the end of the game against Chelsea? Luke Young if fit or Beye/Lichaj to come in and Collins to miss out.

Id like to see Ashley Young return out wide and pair Gabby with Heskey up top and really go at them.

Friedel

A Young, Reo Coker, Petrov, Downing

There might well be the odd "oh blast" and "deary me". But come on, let's just have a nice 3-0, first goal on 30 minutes, another just before half time, and a third on the hour. Nice and relaxed, and my keyboard will be intact come the morning.

The experienced pros provided the platform, but it was still the youngsters who secured the draw in the end (Albrighton to Clark). I'd like a healthy mix, especially seeing as we've got some really bright prospects at Villa.

Not only is Cattermole completely shit but he'd also give our midfield more room to play as he would be having a bath in the latter first/second half. On one hand its a shame he's not playing but on the other hand, somebody would be hurt. Difficult one.

Post by: JJ-AV on January 05, 2011, 02:46:52 PM: 3-2 Villa

End to end stuff for the first half, but somehow it's only 1-1. Second half calms down and we start to boss it and are 3-1 up by the 65th minute, they make a couple of changes to their system and we start to drop off and it's 3-2 by the 74th minute. We're all thinking 'here we go' and they dominate us, creating numerous chances but we somehow (via luck, deflections and an inform Friedel) manage to hold on for the three points.
