Shan saying their tactics won't change much

Too right.  They'll still be playing that way come Armageddon.

UTV, very confident after seeing both teams. The two guys that went off injured for them on Sat couldnt be fully fit by Tues.

Route one football from them all night, fuck them, we will do it and comfortably so.

He's going for it! Lets hope luck favours the brave. Seems a good time to bring up my favourite Dean Smith qoute " We don't just want to beat the team we're playing. We want to strike fear into our next opponents" 
Come on you Villa boys.

Love that quote, I think Bruce said a similar thing or was that about striking fear into the next Kebab house.

Come on you lions. Let's leave the whorethorns tonight with the win and leave the pie eaters to cry on radio WM.

Think they'll go hell for leather to get an early goal then shut up shop to get to extra time and penalties. We score, they're fucked

[TaxDodger]

I feel sick. I can’t cope with this. Maybe I should go and do something else. Watch Jurassic Park or something.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Ha! Albion fans have been given white flags to wave.

[The Man With A Stick]

Nice bin bags. The recycling bin at the whorethorns must be fucking massive.

[KRS]

I'm gonna throw up.

[PeterWithesShin]

Watch Jurassic Park or something.

Just watch Albion play, it's the same prehistoric shite.

[Rodders]

Ha! Albion fans have been given white flags to wave.

I was just about to post this - absolutely brilliant!

It's going to bite us on the backside one day but I fucking love that Smith only ever has one thought when it comes to games, and that's to batter the opposition.

In this game I don't think that's right. By picking Hourihane they need to cover the edge of the box and green adds a bit more pace and either pins back their wing backs or draws the centre backs across. Either way it creates space in the areas Grealish will play.

You're right, it's really defensive.

That's not what I meant, I'm saying this forces them to do things they didn't want to do on Saturday so I'm not sure it's about battering them as much as about making them change tactics.

In a pub in Cheddar with another Villa fan. No bitter birds.
Come on Villa. Fuck the Albion.

Just giving them a football forces them to do things they didn't want to do on Saturday.

so it's the opposite of going defensive in an away game you're 2-1 up in but somehow it's not showing how Smith cares more about winning than holding on. Good grief.
