PieFacE Posted October 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2020 Salah doesn't have Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 He trained today so if he has tested positive the game would have to be postponed. But it must be bullshit surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 1 hour ago, MadridVilla said: I think they will just have to play with what they have. If they had an injury crisis they wouldn't be forfeiting games because they couldn't pick a full strength team, so I would imagine the same precedent will happen here. I think games would only be forfeited for safety reasons i.e. to protect the other club. But there isn't really a precedent for this, except perhaps the Orient vs Spurs game in the league cup. Orient had to lose the television revenue and Spurs were given a bye into the next round. It was a cup ruling though and I doubt very much the same would be the case for a PL game. If Liverpool did have several players out, I can't see that they wouldn't be able to field some sort of team from their squad in any case. I can't see it coming to that though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tv there either. If I remember correctly the cameras went to Derby and it was a 0-0 draw, that said it makes it even more folk law to have witnessed it. The other game that season that sticks out Is the four nil drubbing of the Albion on the last day of the season where Andy Gray got his hat-trick to level Malcolm Macdonald in the golden boot on 29 goals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray got a hatrick in that too. 5-1 against Arsenal stand out to me as well. Yes Derby were the atv favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Fun Factory Posted October 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just put on Villa Match of the Millennium to watch when we beat Liverpool at Anfield back in 2001 to get me in the mood. And then I watched us relegate Coventry. Marvellous. Pretty rock and roll Saturday evening. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNVillan Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 After a couple of whiskeys post-work, I’m ready to say we’re going to win this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 That city draw is a bad result for us. Great opportunity for them to open a gap so early. If we get no injuries and no one sent off I'll be pleased. Will need something big from everyone. Hourihane surely needs to drop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm so excited to see the new look Villa starting XI and how we match up against the best team in the country currently. I can imagine some great moments of play here. Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Targett McGinn - Luiz - Barkley Traore - Watkins - Grealish VS Mane - Firmino - Salah Wijnaldum - Henderson - Keita Robertson - van Dijk - Gomez - TAA Alisson I think the above Villa XI is the strongest we've seen since the final game of the 2010/11 season, which was against, Liverpool, and we won that game. So basically ten years. Starting XI vs Liverpool 2010/11: Friedel Walker - Collins - Dunne - L. Young A. Young - NRC - Petrov - Delph - Downing Bent 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Our guys are going to be confident and bang up for this today! The new additions have all added elements of much needed quality. CMON YOU VILLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 We need to believe we can get something today. Be more like Leeds last night against city. This underlying belief that big teams just turn up and win needs removing from the game. I wouldn’t even take the draw I believe we can and will win.

ferguson1 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Surprisingly optimistic about the game. As some others have said, Barkley comes straight in for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Fairly confident today and I'm looking forward to seeing how Smith sets up the team today. Last season we ran Liverpool close by finding space in behind the full backs. Liverpools left hand side is now severely weakened without Mane there as it will be disjointed, we are also a much more mobile unit with Watkins able to help out the wingers pulling wide when required. It's essentially a free hit and I hope the lads really give it a go today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2020 Barkley comes in 100%. No way you get in a player of that quality and don't bring him in. Maybe Traore starts on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
