Aston Villa vs West Bromwich Albion (Play-off Semi 1st leg): Pre-match Thread

My concern is that we only fuck the yammy fuckers by a three-goal margin. We will fuck these fuckers out of Villa Park, over Smethwick and right into Dingle country. And when they make their way back to Sandwell we will turn up at theirs and put another fucking two past the baggy fuckers.

6-0 on aggregate. c***s!

I absolutely feckin love this.

2-1 win.

I'd fancy us to get through even if we draw tbh.

Confirmed already sold out.

They have better players on paper - we have better form.

Depends whether their 6 week Play Off Purgatory has been a chance for them to recharge or switch off.

It'll be decided in the first leg. Win and we will go through. Draw/Loss and I'd fancy them

No they don't.

They are up there for a reason and to take them lightly will be a mistake.  If we are at our best, then we will press them and hurt them with pace.  We have to take care of their front two.  I fancy that set pieces will be key.

I feel that they will target Taylor as the weak link in the back four. He was poor against Norwich so hoping he will play Hause LB who is quicker and much better on the ball …..

No they don't.

Exactly.  Who they have got who are better than Mings, Jack, SJM and Tammy?

I think we're better at the back and a lot more mobile in midfield. But our other advantage is that we have a settled side, system and method of play. They're still fannying around with different systems and shoehorning players in.

[Risso]

Can't wait for it, for some reason I'm not nervous at all.

Two comfortable wins, home and away, and off to the final. No problem. They have got nothing to worry our fabulous team. Fully fit and ready to go watch us sweep them aside. No sweat.
