I don't see this team losing and think there will be around 3 to four goals in this match. A great counter attacking display...
Given
Lowton Clarke Vlaar Lichaj
Delph El Ahmadi
Nzogbia Ireland Holman
Bent
Though I do see us conceding I predict a scoreline of 3-1 Villa. Bent will score 2 today(Maybe the welshman Collins gives away a pen)
The managersI am of the view that Lambert is a more dynamic manager than Big Sam and he cam make the right tactics during the game. The way lambo used subs last season directly compared to big sam use (shocking at home, especially early on in season) gives me every faith we will do the business.
Villa are the better team. Villa have the better manager.
The factsWe lost to West ham just once in 10 (yes TEN) matches so are we really gonna lose today NO WAY !!? on an opening day with a new manager
West ham have conceded in every pre season match apart from when they beat a german amateur side. They beat colchester but lost or drew all their other games.
We lost 3-1 to forest they lost 3-1 to ipswich.
Last season:Lamberts Norwich only failed to score in 4 away matches !!
I'm looking at that rather than Villas poor record- due to our previous manager.
West ham lost their first home game last season and pressure is on Big sam and their players.
What i sayWest ham have been pretty average in their pre season and we have come to gether nicely. There strentgh is in midfield and they have made some good signings in that department. Don't forget we have made some smart signings to.
That said I look forward to Villa continuing our fine record of taking points from west ham. Lambo will make the right tactical choices against west hams 4-3-3 system, with this we will exploit and counter onto west ham area and score first.
So i believe after taking the lead we can gain control.
let us enjoy! the new era
