Sheffield Utd vs Aston Villa Pre-match Thread

[Bobby Boy]

If Diaby starts then things will get a tad worrisome. 

If Diaby starts then we'd be seeing a stubborn side to Unai that we've seen in previous Villa managers. He doesn't deserve to start and shouldn't.

I'm still remembering our 1-0 defeat last time we played them at their place and what an undercooked performance it was. Hoping we don't go down the same hole.

1-1.

I can see us getting back to winning ways with a 2-0 win.

I'm planning on having chinese takeaway after the game, but we don't have any Chinese players, so not sure it's a sign. Unless we have one who looks like a chicken ball, in which case I fancy them to score!

[Drummond]

I'm not sure what they'll do, they've chopped and changed a bit up front.

I think we will see the following...

                      Martinez
Konsa.   Carlos.  Lenglet.    Moreno
              Kamara.          Luiz
                              McGinn
 Bailey
                   Diaby.  Watkins

would not surprsie me in the least if he does it again . It's kind of a fate

Haven't seen the form table lately but I doubt our form is that much better than theirs. We just have to win this one though. 1-2 to us.

Not a whole lot in it then. Plus they seem to remembered where the net is in their last few games so we have to improve defensively. Not too confident about this one.

[VillaTim]

i'm never confident when Lenglet plays

[ajmant]

Lenglet is a liability, particularly when playing such a high line as he is soooooo slow. I dont fancy him in any 50/50's and would much prefer Carlos for this one as it's going to be physical.

1 win in 5 against these and only 2 goals scored.

Indeed. A lot of moping about today.  We’re a really good side having a bit of a crap run.  It’ll come good again and we have zero to fear from Sheffield Utd.

[mrfuse]

I'm not sure where Chris Wilder is going with his criticising of perceived bias from officials.

From what I've seen Sheffield United have had plenty of decisions going their way. We should have a clear penalty in the home fixture, you could actually argue 2 of them. How on earth they got a penalty against West Ham I will never know.
