Aston Villa vs Liverpool Pre-Match

[Nunkin1965]

This is it then.
Back to the serious stuff.
Thermals on and 3 points for the Villa!!

I’m thinking a 2-2 draw or a close 2-1 win for us. As for the keeper issue, some of the opinions on here I find incredible. Firstly I’m sure every player from every country will have had time off after the WC. It’s not Emi’s fault that he’s played in every minute of every game including the triumphant last one and that game was only a week ago. Secondly it’s not his fault that the stand-in is poor, to suggest he should come back early for that reason is ridiculous. Thirdly to suggest we should sell him, arguably our only world class player and a WC winner for not coming back early because the back up is poor is possibly the most ridiculous thing I’ve read on this thread or any other.

Interesting that Liverpool have lots of injuries but can still put out a world class team.  Hopefully, the turn up slightly undercooked and need to make lots of changes having played Man City on Thursday.   Right now, I'd be happy with a draw.

Sell him because he didn’t come back ?
has anyone actually said that

Given how shite we all know Olsen is, if he doesn’t get back for the Liverpool game I’d sell him in January.

Happy St. Stephen's day fellow Villains! Heading over today...I'm half afraid I could be walking from BHX to B6, but thems the breaks!

Good luck with your travel Mossie. X1 bus from Airport will bring you right in to centre.

Cheers Aftab!

Well as my first ever game was 50 years ago today and we drew 2 2 with Forest I'll go for same.

Bailey and Mings for us, Salah twice for them.

Managed to bag a ticket from my nephew. First time at Villa Park this season. Hope these new socks are lucky

I'd take a comfortable Villa win but all week all I could see was a Liverpool victory. Maybe it was the Villareal game. Heart says 3-1 Villa; head says 2-0 Liverpool.
