Aston Villa v SHA: Pre-match Thread

[clash city rocker]

3 points, no injuries  and that nose twat on Twitter is given a dodgy pie would equal a happy day.

Nothing less than 3 nil Villa
Otherwise they will take some sort of moral victory from it.....

They'll have pashun. So will we. And we will also have the overwhelming majority of the ball and a lot more quality going forwards.

Weren't you saying possession was overrated when we famously won at Southampton with 25% of the ball....

They won at Leeds with 28% of it.

Is Bjarni injured then, he'd be obvious replacement for McGinn.

[SoccerHQ]

Whelan starts. Good job Chester is fit as Jedinak also injured.

El Ghazi, Lansbury and O'Hare on the bench.

Edit: Thought Yannick might be from the start today but he remains our option for last half hour.

Whatever the scoreline they will take consolation in the fact there were more of them than us inside Villa Park and they sang all game whilst they never heard a peep out of us lot.

SHA gone 5-3-2 today. No Jota in the 18.

There's possession and possession. When we're having 70% of it and creating 20 chances, it's a bit different to playing the ball back from a goal kick.

Would be amazed if we had 20 serious attempts, hope I'm wrong obviously.

Beating a table-topping side with those stats points more to a bad day for them rather than any tactical masterstroke by you.

Closer we get to kick-off, the more I feel we'll win to nil. They won't know what's fucking hit them.

The main risk is their front two against our generous defence. Even when we play well we give away good chances.

But deapite the stats and reputation they also seem to let in a lot of sloppy goals so if we can improve our finishing I reckon we could get two or three here
