Post by: cdbearsfan on January 20, 2020, 12:52:02 PM
It isn't. Only two matches are on telly and both on BT Sport. Amazon Prime are done for the season.

I think they have one half seven and one quarter past eight game to allow people to watch both. Not sure why the non-televised matches have to kick off at half seven, though. Maybe something to do with overseas TV.

Guilbert may be missing tomorrow. He's just posted an Instagram story of a very swollen jaw on one side with the caption "fucking tooth". Hardly debilitating but does look painful.

A draw would be a step up. I'll go for that - one half poor, the other better and Grealish the difference to get our goal.

That aggression to close space and lay a glove on the opposition has to be there from the off. Having a striker certainly helps, but here we are. It looked risky in the summer and so that has proved.

If you're going on Tuesday, then park your frustrations, even in adversity and back the side to the hilt.

Where Indiana seemingly worked on Saturday was the total opposite - bringing young fresh legs on to run at them and press higher up to see the game out.

If we start him he will inevitably run out of gas at 60 mins - what do we do then?

I disagree, I think we've been quite passive for a lot of home games.

Everton was the best atmosphere in years. It was four sides giving it some hammer for most of the game. We've had plenty to grumble about, but for 90 odd minutes, ignore the inclination to moan about a misplaced pass, counter about a wayward cross and leave B6 knowing you've played your part.

We badly need the first goal in this.

If we do get it I think we'll win.

Watford score early and I fear it will be re-run of Southampton.

Certainly in the minority but I'd be happy with a point from this. Bournemouth is the must win of the next two imo.

No I trust you that was the issue . Actually I find you most reliable hence I was asking and wanting to hear more.
I was just disappointed we never heard anymore.

Get you mate.
I’m as frustrated as anyone else at this moment about our recruitment etc. Anything I ever post is in good faith from what I’d call a reliable contact.
Issue is, with deals, enquiries etc. It’s fast moving and things can be on in one minute and literally dead in the water an hour later.

Re: Benteke - we have 100% be in contact with them. Loan to buy is what we want. They dont. The financials involved in his deal are circa £24m (transfer fee and 3 yr deal). That’s HUGE cash so currently we’re exploring alternatives.

Unfortunately, I'm seeing that too.

Pearson will set them up exactly as he did for the game at Vicarage Rd. First and foremost, we'd better be up for a scrap. If we're not, expect more of the same.

The fact we still don't have a striker for these critical games is beyond belief.

I was at that game too. Ironically it was the middle of 3 home games in a row and we really need to win all of them to have a chance of staying up. Beat Cov in the first game (Birchie), drew with Watford, a few days later drew 0-0 with Man City in a dour rain soaked game at VP, relegated a month later. Hopefully it’ll different tomorrow. We actually had some good players then but no one imo as inspiring as Grealish.

As has been said they’ll be up for the scrap and we have to match their desire and physicality first and foremost.

I largely agree with Ads side, though 3 games in 10 days might be too much for Drinkwater, so think Nakamba may start with Luiz. Would give the kid a go as well. Really like Hause, but struggled a bit with possession, wonder if it’s worth giving Chester a go as the centre of a three with Konsa and Mings?? No Elmo or Taylor please !

Think villa park has been a bit muted for a couple of months, Liverpool in the league was maybe the last time it was rocking..let’s get it going down there tomorrow

Indiana

I know that's the likely team but would that be three games in 10 days for Drinky? After his long stint of inactivity I think he would be at huge risk of a muscle injury. We might be best off trying Grealish up front and maybe bring Hourihane in for his set piece threat. The game is far too early for Indiana, think he would be eaten alive by the Watford defence if he started.

Come on Villa 3 points tonight please! As a team and as fans we need to treat this game like it's a derby because of who's playing for them up front. Their fans sing a song about his hatred for us. He behaved like a pr-ck at vicarage road recently with his goading of Jack. If we take the lead tonight he'll still behave like a pr-ck but maybe like one who could talk himself into a red card with our help. Our support could make a huge difference tonight.

Can’t help but think that Watford’s aggression both on the pitch and in their coach will be too much for us tonight. I think we are there to be bullied.

If Indiana plays I wish him well but to me that’s failure by management that he has to be there in the first place.

Get our fittest attacking mid to run around like a twat until exhaustion, pressuring their defence into making mistakes and creating space for Grealish.  Then swap at half time for Vassilev to do the same for 45 minutes to exhaustion.

Management is easy.

Bookies have this closer than the Brighton match and they fkd up last time thankfully. For this one it’s Watford $2.40, Villa $2.80 and a draw $3.30. I’m hoping for a Villa win, whether it happens, we’ll see. Probably watch it on the train to work. Sucks cos if we win, I’ll be buzzing, if we lose just puts a downer on the day. And we lose more than we win these days. 3 pts would be most welcome. Come on Villa!

Think Watford will come expecting to win tonight, with their recent form and Pearson motivating them. Stating the obvious but a fast aggressive start essential for us tonight, we need to dent their confidence fairly enough. Tough, nervy night coming up, developing an irrational dislike of Pearson and Watford, a win will sort out my rationality.

Cleverley said on 5Live the other day that he gave a big team meeting and put the fear into people. Makes me wonder how long that can last.

Watford don't do anything spectacular tactically. Watch for the long diagonal, 3 at the back helps this and make sure we're committed to that second ball break down where their midfield press to enforce that territorial gain.

The effort to close Brighton, harass and compete needs to be happening from the start tonight.

I'm hopeful Mings will be able to deal with him. With Saar outz they've lost an out ball. But Deeney is all about his physical presence and using Kevin Davis style snideyness, that hopefully Mings will be able to combat.

The problem is if we did that, we'd have no forwards to bring on which is possibly why he's leaves at least one attack minded player in Vassilev on the bench and I get that.

as well as the line up it’s a mentally thing
it’s a Watford they are on a good run but still around us in the table

If we stand off them and sit back we invite pressure and before you know it we are a goal down
I believe we still have enough players even without a recognised striker going forward to cause them trouble if we really have a go at them

if we don’t believe in ourselves tonight and try and keep it tight soak up pressure and nick one late on I think we will lose
that just my opinion though

Why are people worried, Aston Villa are rubbish, seriously. They only got at Brighton because Brighton decided to slow the game down and took their foot of the gas.

Villa really are one of the poorest sides to be in the Prem in the last decade. Grealish is the only player that has something about him, everyone else, is championship at best. Let’s be honest, Grealish wouldn’t even start for us. Deulofeu, Doucoure, Sarr. He’s not taking any of their spots.

Just keep him quiet and we win easily. We just smashed this lot a few weeks ago with 10 men. Since then, they got a lucky win against Burnley, lost to Fulham in the FA Cup, scraped a draw against Leicester in the league cup, got walloped by Man City and got just lucky against a poor Brighton team.

We on the other hand, have dominated everyone.

They don’t even have a recognized striker.

Kick Grealish up in the air a bit, let him get himself sent off because he is a petulant cry baby and we win 5-0. If Grealish manages to stay in the pitch, we win 3-1.

Either way, it’s an easy day at the office. Villa really are crap.

Especially as we're at home. A vibrant VP will help no end but we need something to cheer about. Need to be at it from the start.

My extended family are Watford fans and I was taken to a few matches when I was a kid, so I had a soft spot for them, and, of course there's the Sir Graham Taylor link.

Anyway, I hope we fucking smash them out of sight and that they get relegated too. If Mings could accidentally on purpose rearrange Deeney's face making it (somehow) uglier in the process, I'd be very pleased indeed.

They really do appear to dislike us and Jack the delusional twats.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Deeney get himself sent off. Either against us or in some other six pointer.

Watford fans...

Why are people worried, Aston Villa are rubbish, seriously. They only got at Brighton because Brighton decided to slow the game down and took their foot of the gas.

Villa really are one of the poorest sides to be in the Prem in the last decade. Grealish is the only player that has something about him, everyone else, is championship at best. Let’s be honest, Grealish wouldn’t even start for us. Deulofeu, Doucoure, Sarr. He’s not taking any of their spots.

Just keep him quiet and we win easily. We just smashed this lot a few weeks ago with 10 men. Since then, they got a lucky win against Burnley, lost to Fulham in the FA Cup, scraped a draw against Leicester in the league cup, got walloped by Man City and got just lucky against a poor Brighton team.

We on the other hand, have dominated everyone.

They don’t even have a recognized striker.

Kick Grealish up in the air a bit, let him get himself sent off because he is a petulant cry baby and we win 5-0. If Grealish manages to stay in the pitch, we win 3-1.

Either way, it’s an easy day at the office. Villa really are crap.

Looks like they've been on here, reading that.

Yeah. Walls have ears. I've seen worse on here too.

Utv!

I hope so. We need to start on the front foot and get the crowd onside, anything else may leave us chasing.

2-0
