Honey Honey Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 We've looked dog shit at Villa Park last two seasons. Due something there surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Our season starts Saturday. I expect a reaction from the players and I expect the fans to give them an extra 10-15% on top of that in all. Everton were a tough nut away last season so it's important we don't allow them to get infront so they have something to defend. Probably no Llorente or Phillips again which won't help but equally, those who played last week simply have to improve anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think Villa have had a good record over Newcastle for a while in recent times. But Newcastle actually way out ahead in head to head record over all Premier League years. I predict only a tense atmosphere after the opening matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Shelvey is out. Could be a good thing defensively. Expect this Wilson, Saint Maximin Almiron, Hayden, Willock Ritchie, Clark, Lascelles, Fernández, Murphy Woodman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 20, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 20, 2021 I don't expect much this weekend in truth. I'll be interested to see how Benitez approaches this but I don't think we have the players to avoid getting pinned back by their pressure for much of the game. They'll have the added bonus of their first home game with fans like the other half of the league did last weekend. I don't place much stock in the contrasting fortunes of the two teams last weekend given the opposition each of them faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 21, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 21, 2021 Mina in for Holgate. I'd sooner have seen Keane miss out given that Holgate is a bit better on the ball and Mina and Keane lack pace between them. Iwobi for Townsend also. Looked sharp when he came on last week.

Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted August 21, 2021 Bailey already out for Villa. His injury record was questioned when signing for them. He's a decent player but how often will he have a consistent run of games for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcanuck Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Norwich unlucky to be down 2-0, a pin ball goal that bounces off Krul's chest and then the cross is deflected and hits Grealish's knee and goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Been a cagey affair so far, Palace had one good chance with Connor Gallagher hitting the crossbar, but outside of that neither side has really threatened. As the half has gone on though we have had more control of the game, winning more loose balls and 50/50s. Controlling it to an extent but not worth controlling if you’re not creating.
