Hobsons Choice Posted September 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2023 We'll know where we are after this one. We win this and the whole of the PL will take notice of what we're doing and how we've been playing (Newcastle aside). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather draw or beat them along with Mo on Sunday. Winning at Anfield is statistically next to impossible. Didn't they only lose at home a single time last year or something crazy like that?

Rodders Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Looking forward to this, should be a good game. All results plausible. With Unai you know we'll play well and have good plans, we just need to make sure we take our chances. Time to be clinical Ollie.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) It would be foolish and unrealistic to expect we turn up there and take the points, but it is totally possible when you consider how well drilled and tactically flexible Emery is. I can see Klopp preparing them to try to devastate our high line only to find we set up in a completely different way. I can see lots of goals and entertainment, but it’s impossible to predict a result. Just happy that we can go with the feeling of having a good chance, and know we will play well regardless.

WallisFrizz Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Haven’t got a good feeling about this. We will play ok but still think our back line is a bit iffy and will punish the tiniest of mistakes. 3-1 Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What more can one ask, really, especially when you consider how far we've come so quickly? I mean, jesus -- we've been ****-ing incredible. It's almost too easy to forget that these days. And now we're headed to Anfield, and the Reds know they'll -- at the very least -- have some serious unpleasantness visited upon them. Quote (28 May 2019) Aston Villa are back in the Premier League after beating Derby County 2-1 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley Stadium on Monday. Anwar El Ghazi scored in the first half, with John McGinn putting them 2-0 up with 30 minutes to go. Jack Marriott's strike in the 81st minute, which was deflected by Martyn Waghorn, got a goal back. But even with seven minutes of injury time, Frank Lampard's Derby couldn't force an equaliser. Edited September 1, 2023 by Marka Ragnos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quofan Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 20 hours ago, Marka Ragnos said: Well, had a look at a Pool forum. On the positive side, they definitely take the Villa seriously. A few grudgers seem to think we wrecked their CL chance. There are some "I have a bad feeling about this" types -- same as we have here. On the negative side, they think our left is vulnerable and Bailey is a real weak spot if he plays on the left. One said we're basically gate-crashers trying to get into the Big Six party and we need to be "put in our place." I wouldn't say they're disrespectful. I saw admiration for Emery and McGinn. Don't seem to realise we have Nicolo now. My favourite one was "Villa are going to give us a hiding." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Its nice to be getting the recognition and respect we deserve now. Most neutrals online are expecting us to win the conference and have a good season in the league. Klopp thinks we’ll definitely be up there this season. This is how it should be. Its a really strange time to be living in with all the shite going on in the world, but at least Villa’s standing in the pecking order has recalibrated back to its rightful place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
