Aston Villa vs Burnley Pre-Match

[algy]

Have twin boys - it's the eldest's (by 40 seconds) first Villa match, so hopefully a nice introduction for him. Taking the other to a game later in the season, it'd be a bit much to cope with both at the same time and the younger lad has only really started to take an interest in the last day or two.


Anyway, Villa win. I'm a believer mate

Very creative poll options - sheila, take a bow.

From despair to where?

oh William , it was, really nothing

[Martyn Smith]

Go at them hard, low, and fast, press hard when out of possession. If we do that then we will win through sheer class

[VillaTim]

If Cash isn't fit I'd probably put Chambers in at RB

wait a minute , are you suggesting Chambers starts

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm going for an XI based on who was most promising and who gave it the doggiest go in the last game (and that Digne is probably the latest casualty).

Emi
Konsa Lenglet Pau Moreno
Bailey Tim Doug McGinn
Zaniolo Watkins

Get crosses into the box for the big boys.

Can Lenglet play on the right side? Otherwise it's a decent team, Zaniolo deserves a shot up front to see what he can do. Diaby looks like he doesn't know what to do and even Bailey looks better coming off the bench. Glad to see you too are looking to bring Tim in, I reckon given a start he'll soon be a crowd favourite, he just needs the chance. Unai needs to instruct him to make sure he doesn't try and do it all by himself or get too far forward. A disciplined role in defensive midfield will allow us to rest Kamara and Dougie (not that he needs one, he's been on holiday all month) and there should be no real drop in quality.

I really thought Burnley would be comfortable this season but for whatever reason, trying to run before they can walk, too many new players, a really tough start to the season, whatever it was they've really disappointed. I'm still expecting a tough game but I'd hope all the anger and frustration of dropping three points last night will see us at our most lethal.

Have we really played every team once in the league already? The Burnley game at Turf Moor only seems like t'were a few weeks ago

That's my dating philosophy too.

[PaulWinch again]

Need a win here to get back on track.

I hope we have more luck than that! 😱

They won't park the bus, we will fucking murder them.

Burnley don't park buses, they brick them.

A, HA.

[Skerra]

I really don’t think this is going to be as easy as some people think. I’d just take a win however it comes. Unless we are 4 goals up, think we need to stop this walking football at the back and press teams instead. Best performance of the season by far was Citeh at home and look our tempo in that match.

[pauliewalnuts]

If Cash isn't fit I'd probably put Chambers in at RB so Konsa can stay central

What..... for us?

[Legion]

0-2.
