Aston Villa v Leicester City Pre-Match Thread

[shipscat]

2-2....After leading twice!

Which wouldn't be the death star entrance in the scheme of things...4 points out of 2 potentially very difficult(on todays standings and form) home games...

All we can hope for at the moment is a regaining of some positive momentum...which may well be too late for the race to stay in the division...but will enormously help in the race to re-enter it next May.

Same team...although I can see Garde sacrificing Gil for Richards and moving Vertout to the tip,with Bacuna on the right.

For me,Mahrez is a class act,but the main man is Huth at the back..He wins nearly everything,and I remember him totally bossing Benteke at VP a couple of seasons ago...I extolled his virtues a couple of seasons ago in one of our transfer threads...I wonder if we'd have landed him where we'd have been with a touch of his organisation and physical leadership at the back.

Just keep giving us a little gap in the clouds please gentlemen...110% and we'll applaud and enjoy our post match tot.

Exorcise the demons from "that" afternoon in Leicester, then move on and pick up another 3 points at Baggies next weekend...we'll need results to go our way but the table could be looking a lot tighter and more optimistic for the unthinkable.

Leicester aren't anywhere near as good as they're position suggests.

Hopefully the players will take confidence from last night and give it a real good go.

Let's just not let ourselves down.

I disagree, I think they've been superb and deserve to be were they are. We've got an extra day's rest and a hopefully some confidence instilled in us.

Agree totally, one of the form teams and also one of the more consistent in the league. After saying that we are also The "form" team after winning all our matches this week

You have to fancy it will be low scoring, their last 3 league games they've scored 0 and conceded 1. We struggle to score and now don't concede goals. So 9-3 to us it is then.

[Quiet Lion]

They will score two wonder goals and have the majority of the play. In the second half it will be wave after wave of Villa attacks, as the pressure builds the Tinker man will take off a couple of their key midfielders and bring on strikers.

We will score 3 goals in 30 minutes with the final goal coming in the last minute.

Afterwards Ranieri will give an interview where he is apparently close to tears, claiming it is his worst moment in football, but it was nothing to do with his substitutions.

Our players will gain so much confidence we will get 40 points from our remaining games, their players will lose confidence and not get another point. We will finish above them, stave off relegation and equilibrium will be restored in the universe.

In the predictions league I have few points from Villa games as I keep predicting this is the game where we finally win.

Yesterday I gave in and had us to lose. Therefore I will predict a two nil away win on there. And two one Villa in real life.

Just you watch. Just when we have all made peace with relegation, the fuckers will dangle some hope at us.

Very good. Nice.

Lescott scores four. All four goals are headed nutmegs, but two of them are own goal headed nutmegs.
2-2 draw.

[clash city rocker]

I would stick with the same team as last night..I wouldn't bring Richards back personally as I think he is bad news.

[SoccerHQ]

1-1.

[QuintonVilla]

Every time I think they'll lose and their bubble is going to burst they keep getting results and winning. They seem like they're there for the long haul and are top four contenders at least. Should be an interesting game Saturday, not many would have predicted it would be bottom v joint top before the season started. They'll have too much for us though, 1-3.

Are we going to have a poll?
