Aston Villa v West Ham Pre-Match Thread

Yep, its all gone our way. We really have to start with some purpose tomorrow, none of this containment malarky and please Unai play your best team! 

They won’t change how they play so don’t expect any first half drama, close win in the end is my guess

Will be my youngest daughters first game tomorrow, 10 in April

Hope you both have a great time. Even if the result goes wrong, it'll still end up being one of your favourite games.

Just bring us more luck then Dave's kids did.....

Oi, the boy is fine. It's the girl who has been hexed by some sort of Villa-hating curse.

No more excuses after yesterdays results, I hope we scrap the slow build up and put energy back into our game. Looked at Chelsea matches ahead and wondered how they are going to get enough points. Would like Lindeloft to get a start and Elliot must come in to contention after his cameo.

I am very angry with everyone. Just so you know.

Tell me why?

He don't like Mondays.

Would love to see us with the shackles off too.
But Emery is stubborn, and the structure is everything. So cue boring pedestrian first half, Ezri with most touches on the pitch, then hopefully a scrappy 2-1 late in second half.
Bowen (inevitably) for Hamsters, midfielders for Us (since our strikeforce doesn’t often strike).
