VillaAlex Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 They're going to sit deep and be extremely difficult to break down, I don't have confidence in our midfield right now to achieve anything against this. If we keep hitting crosses into their box Bamba is going to clean them up with ease. I wouldn't be surprised to lose via a set piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I think we still struggle to break them down. We should play the same system as them and invite them to attack us and aim to catch them on the break in my opinion. Otherwise if we attack attack attack we will be up against 11 behind the ball and vulnerable to the counter ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Defining game this. Warnock will get them up for this. Can see Bruce "keeping it tight" to nick a 0-1. A brute force performance is needed so no Bree, Thor, Omodah, Green or any kids is the way I think SB will go. Sit back & hoof SJ Hutton Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Elmo Lansbury (??????) Gabby Hogan ------------------ I'd like to see Steer Bree Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Elmo Lansbury Omadah Green Hogan Ball to feet, take em on, get a few freekicks/corners. Goals coming from Good play, forced errors or a Terry/Chester header from a setpiece. We have to rise above the physicality and one-up-for-it-manship from Warnock. Prediction: 1-0 2-0 or 3-0 loss - Samba on for last 10mins - boos - VT meltdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCU Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not going to build my hopes up to be let down come 5pm again. I actually think sometimes if you stuck Barcelona's starting 11 in a Villa kit we'd still struggle against a team like Cardiff.

The midfield will fold like a pack of cards and Hogan will be isolated about 30 yards higher up the pitch than anyone else but we will still hoof long balls up to him. 2-0 I so much want you to be wrong yet so much fear you will be right !

Villarocker Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Think we'll lose today. I worry about the creation of chances for us to score goals without Kodjia. Therefore, I'm going to predict a 1-0 win for Cardiff. Please Villa, prove me wrong by stuffing them 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
