Aston Villa vs Norwich City Pre-Match Thread

[olaftab]

0-2.

Always consistent

[olaftab]

Norwich have failed to win 26 of their last 28 away matches in the premier league

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT? Couple of seasons ago someone posted on PMT, Brighton have never won at Villa Park and they beat us 2-1

[levico]

Odds on Norwich are 7-1. Very generous IMHO

I think Norwich winning is a bit of a long shot but, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a draw.

If we lost at home to Norwich tomorrow then I don't think Gerrard will have any kind of future with us. We won't lose

Is Sanson actually injured or just out of favour?

I have supported Gerrard in the belief that with his own team things will improve
If he can not motivate this squad to beat Norwich , my mind might change

From a few of the posts on here you'd never know that Norwich are fucking shit and have been odds on to go down since about October.

I think tomorrow looks a lot like Brighton away where we'd had a few bad results before it but you could see that we were starting to find some form. I think we'll sneak a fairly early lead to settle nerves and end up with a comfy 3-0 with Watkins getting at least 1 of them.

If we don't beat this shower of yellow shite, I will not be happy.

Its because according to some of the various threads on here, that its the worst season on memory, the teams shit, managers shit etc etc.
Disappointing season id say, even a bit boring, but we stayed up 2 years ago with around about the points we have now and spent most of 2012-2015, floating around the toilet before being flushed, so defo not the worst season in memory, just a mediocre one.
We’ll win tomorrow comfortably.

It's an emotional one for sure tomorrow.
Bottom line is for the rest of perhaps everybodys life time, no other manager will have that rapport Dean Smith had.

That press conference video oozes class. Oh how I miss him and how he talks about our team now he has to talk about some team else . Life is unfair sometimes

Was that under Graham Potter? a Villa man too. (I can see him as our next boss and to replace Gerrard)
So I guess Deano for the win then.
If Gerrard engineers a defeat to Norwich , Dean Smith or not, then that in itself speaks volumes about SG abilities.
Let's hope not though as SG is the boss now and as much as it's great seeing Dean Smith win football matches that isn't the case for this match.
UTV!!

You might need a Kleenex all right.

What can you say? Nailed-on 3 pts for Villa….

Out of favour.

Alleged attitude problems?
