The Mighty Aston Villa vs Swansea Pre-Match Thread

[Richard]

Who is responsible for the stuff on the BBC sports website as covering Sherwoods press conference Vlaar is still struggling but he helped 4th bottom Villa beat Leicester and Stoke but missed Sunderland due to suspension!!!

For me no one is undroppable and anyone who does the business keeps their spot and I think Sherwood seems to have that same attitude. He dropped Cleverley and Westwood but then they came back in and have done well so he's sticking with them whilst they're playing well, same with Nzogbia.

Westwood? - back in?

Yeah, I had a complete brainfart there, I was thinking Okore but typed Westwood, I'm really not sure how that happened.

I can understand mixing up Weimann and Cleverley but not really Okore and Westwood

[darren woolley]

1-1 Draw for me.

All I can think it was is that in my head I remembered him very publicly commenting on dropping TC and Westwood so the names just flowed together in the context of what I was typing and it just didn't click that was what I'd done.  I read it back after I'd posted and I didn't see anything wrong with it either, but when it was pointed out my first thought was 'who mentioned Westwood?'

However confused anyone else is by that it's nothing on me, if I didn't know better I'd accuse a mod of sabotage but typing one thing and thinking another isn't that rare, it's like Alzheimers for the modern era.

The upstarts from the West of Britain need to be duly dispatched.

Minimal fuss. Send them back feathers and all.

Swansea will be very defensive but we'll win the Big man is Back.

46-0

I watched this crowd against Liverpool the other night and they are good. They would have got into that game better if they had someone other than Gomis upfront - he has no pace and the turning circle of the Titanic and less technique. But, we have to be worried about Sigurdsson, Routledge, Shelvey and Ki - all very good going forward. The back 5 are going to have to have a great day at the office for us to get a win here. Score draw.

In the away game, neither team created anything of substance for the whole game. It was just one free-kick from Sigurdsson that Guzan should have done better with.

[Nastylee]

There's not many goals in the Swansea team so I think if we can manage another 2 goals we'll be ok. Therefore, 2-1 with our strikers on the money again and a Gylfi pile-driver in reply.

This is the truth.

Gutted to come away from there with nothing.

Agreed. What a bloody miserable day that was all round. Merry Christmas!

Yep we'll need to ensure we don't give away any silly freekicks on the edge of the box. Sigurdsson can be lethal from those areas.
