Aston Villa vs West Ham Boxing Day Pre-Match Thread

[Brian Taylor]

Bilic is a wily fox..villa win..can't consider anything else.

If, and that's a massive if, but IF we are winning with say 10 mins to go, can you imagine the nerves amongst the fans?

Squeaky bum time doesn't even come close!

[The Edge]

Could moderators please ban any negativity. We have just about had enough shit to last a lifetime. Positive thinking only. The first Villa fan in the pub on Saturday who says were gonna lose will be told.
Villa 4 West Ham 1. You heard it here first.

[The Edge]

3-1 Villa and we'll go the rest of the season unbeaten.

like your style mate

1 win and 20 draws, 30 points.

[Mossie Hennebry]

If we play an actual left-back in the left-back position, we will increase our chances of winning. Heart says win, head says no. Fuck you head.

[JD]

I'm going for a 3-1 win and the start of an unbeaten 3 month run.

[VinnieChase84]

F**k it, going 2-0 Villa - Veretout and Ayew

There's no actual left back available until Jan, unless Kinsella plays

Play Clarke at LB? He's played there before.

He was awful there as well. I think Bacuna's done ok. Not brilliant but he should be fine there for the next three games until someone comes in.

[AVH87]

Cissokho not available to fill the LB void until AFTER the Blunderland game on January 2nd.

[Steve kirk]

Strong feeling that we will secure our 2nd league win of the season, 10 points after 18 games matching Leicester's situation at the same stage of last season 3-0 to Villa

Xmas wish to Remi:

                                                                                       Guzan

                                      Richards         Okore                                            Clark        Lescott


                                              Bacuna                            Veretout                        Gana

                                               
                                                                Traore                                      Gil


                                                                                        Ayew

or, if Richards not fit, play Hutton at right back + could put Traore in place of Bacuna and play Ayew & Gestede uo front.


If so, Villa to win by a record score for a Boxing day match!!!!

I checked and you are spot on. Something for us to cling onto.
