maqroll Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Our away form this season has been superb. We seem to be able to bounce back from losses with wins. I expect more of the same. Villa 2 1 West Ham Watkins, Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Lets hope the happy memories of this ground are a factor next Monday. Need to bounce back but West Ham look impressive this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Really need some points before a really heavy post Christmas schedule kicks in with some very tough games. A loss and two wins from Brighton, West Ham and Newcastle were my aspirations. Means we need to win the next two to continue our strong start to the season. Our record vs them isn’t too bad, a lot of draws in recent years. hopefully we can turn up on the day and get the result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 If Barkley is out with hamstring i recon he will be out for a few weeks. This could be a decent game for Conor. Moyes teams aren't exactly known for their high pressing and intensity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Martinez Cash Mings Komsa Targett McGinn Luiz Trez Hourihane Grealish Watkins Conor looked well off the pace on Saturday. Who else could we slot into that position? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted November 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2020 If Barkley is going to be out for a few weeks can we recall Jacob Ramsey? He's scored a few at Doncaster hasn't he? He looked useful. Otherwise, Trez left, Grealish central and Traore right if we go same shape. It'll be a tough game this one they have a lot of talent luckily for us they have been organised by Moyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played really well when I saw him both in a preseason game and the cup game. He can't be far away from being ready for the bench at least.

Plenty of time for him to develop but I'd rather he was playing minutes somehwere instead of not even making the match day squad.

romavillan Posted November 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2020 If he's not going to get a chance here right now then he should go out on loan at as high a level as poss. With Ross injured though who've we got in midfield head of him? Hourihane yes, but that's it, I can't see Lansbury getting a game before him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so he's not going to get a game Centrally we have Ramsey, Jack, McGinn, Hourihane, Nakamba, Luiz and Barkley. That's it isn't it? With Barkley out we can either go Trez left, Jack in the middle and Traore right. So midfield of Luiz, McGinn and Jack. Or Jack stays left of the front three, Nakamba pushes one of Luiz or McGinn further forward, or Ramsey does the same, if not it's Hourihane for Barkley straight swap. Unless Platt is still available 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Suffice to say, this is a huge game. They are direct competitors and only a point behind us. Aaaand they try to wear claret and blue like it's their own thing. Imposters and thieves. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I'd say we have to be very careful to not give free kicks away in our defensive third, and avoid giving them corners. West Ham have good delivery and usually have 5 guys on the pitch over 6 foot. That's the main danger. After that if Antonio starts Mings and Konsa are in for a fight. If we can deal with those threats we will get a draw at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
