This is the biggest game in football for me, I’ve seen some great games down the years. Beating them means more to me than beating Birmingham. 2-0 to us and we’ll play them off the park. As usual I don’t care who scores

I like to think Gerrard's playing down of VAR was partly because he was pissed off at the fact it shouldn't have mattered given our dominance.That's exactly how I saw it. We were all justifiably raging at var for blatantly robbing us of a goal and he probably was too. But he preferred to highlight the fact that we had every opportunity to win the game if we had turned our dominant periods in the game into goals. Also he mentioned us conceding goals too easily which has got to stop. I like that. I like that attitude It's a very fair point. If Konsa and Mings hadn't defended like drains, and if Watkins could finish, we'd have been out of sight.All very good points which is why I wonder how so many on here would rather play Watkins ahead of Ings ?? Because we're a better team when he plays, and he's a better player than Danny Ings.

Not to sound too Kevin Keegan but I would love it if we beat these fuckers.
Agreed, and although Watkins should have scored when he hit the bar, I doubt Ings would have got himself into that situation in the first place.
I'd play Ings over Watkins for this one, but otherwise the same team.

Something to do pre-match if you're having a dry January. https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/january/14/villa-to-unveil-new-champions-of-europe-tribute/
