Aston Villa vs West Ham Match Thread

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Just win Villa at home in the FA Cup third round.  For once!

That line up but then with Olsen in goal is a bit like thinking "I'm going out on the town tonight, going to make an effort" so wearing your finest, smartest garments and shoes but then topping it off by wearing a Benny hat.

B Burrowes on the bench. Had to google him and he was signed as a 13 year old in 2021. I feel ancient suddenly.

Wow, I throw up a bit reading that.

He sounds like a hobbit

You say that like it's a bad thing?

Strong team. If I was the opposition manager though, I'd be pressing very high up the pitch when theres no Emi or Torres in the Villa team.

I think Mings is ok at bring the ball out of defense - for him its just a shame that is Pau's biggest strength.

Haven't bought much Villa gear for ages. I need one of these tops. Lovely as well as tonight's kit.

And putting a fair few balls high into the box

To be fair Mings is very good in the air so I woudl say from that front were pretty nutral

Strong side. Just need an error free game from Mr Olsen. Let's get behind him. It's not always a disaster with him in goal. The defence in front needs to do their part.

You're right as long as the opposition don't have a single shot at him like Spurs did for his only clean sheet we'll be just fine.... But with our defence (or shall I say our attack because it's their fault according to some) I really can't see any team we play against having 0 shots at our goal.

Does it go to penalties after 90 mins if a draw?
