It going to be a very tough match but as I've been doing my rounds apparently we've already won it.Hopefully we make some signings in January because playing every 4 days is starting to take its toll and you can see it by how much we are slowing the pace to almost pedestrian. We look absolutely fucked but we're still getting the luck which is helping massively.We do? Nope but I think some people still haven't realised that part of why Emery is so successful in Europe is that he encourages a style of play that doesn't take so much out of the legs of his players.

Quote from: Skerra on December 18, 2023, 04:09:56 PMEmery is a very astute man so hope that he has now realised that Cash is not really a winger. Also, Diaby seems to have turned into a Pep’s Grealish type, with no trying to go past the full back but just playing 1,2’s with Cash that get us absolutely nowhere. Unai needs to work his magic on Diaby and get him to use his pace again to get him back up to speed.Also, considering we were winning the game, with not long to go, I thought Emi risked a sending off for grabbing Maupay by the shirt and, that incident led to Kamara being sent off. All very avoidable. Emi should just have stood and laughed at Maupay whilst also thanking him for wasting his own team’s time. That’s the really clever way of doing things. I think Emery will make the same point to all the players involved in the melee.Diaby has been a huge disappointment, shows no endeavour whatsoever . Cash simply isn't good enough for this team

It would be insanely Villa to just lose this 2-1 after two men sent off and a dramatic own goal. Like Liverpool-Spurs earlier this year.Doug back will be a boost, especially with Bouba out. Hopefully Tielemans too, although do we maybe play the Donk as a more direct replacement for Kamara?

Cash simply isn't good enough for this teamDiaby was excellent for the first couple of months of the season but has lost form at the moment but doesn’t mean he is not a quality player. ‘Huge disappointment’ sounds like your writing him off, which is just daft. Cash is fine at right he just can’t play wide midfield
They’ll sit deep and hope to counter so we’ll have to work hard.
They were shocking under Heckingbottom, far less so with Wilder. Hope we do not under-estimate them.
We will press from the start. If we can get an early goal, something we do quite often at home, they will need to come at us. That will leave massive gaps and we will batter them.
