Don't really want either missing Spurs away, who even would we play at LB if Digne wasn't around? 3 hours ago, TheAuthority said: The 2 options as I see it are play McGinn (bad option) or play Torres there with Carlos and Konsa central (my preferred) Didn’t we play Lenglet there recently? Mostar maybe? And he did quite well. I don’t think I’ve made this up but I’m not certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) It wouldn't surprise me in the least if there's a somewhat deflated look to our performance after such a high from Thursday night's performance. I'm sure Unai will be drumming into the players to not, for one minute, underestimate this Luton team, they are no pushovers. We need to be fully focused from the off, because if there's one thing this team has in abundance, it's fight. Hopefully, we can maintain some momentum, I really hope so. Come on me Babbys!

villan95 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Not taking anything for granted here. Hopefully we can break them down and get an early goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 They will play with 11 behind the ball. Historically this is the sort of game we struggle in when we aren't allowed to counter quickly. Need to keep a lid on frustration if it's still 0-0 30+ minutes in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Interesting match up. History has made me wary of being the heavy favourite but Emery is vanquishing all ghosts. I stick by what I said during the week... get the early goal and it could be a thrashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Yeah i think luiz should take a hit and be banned for firest or fulham. Has to play vs spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I think the early goal is crucial. If we get it, an easy win, if not, a frustrating afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I have a bad feeling about this game. But it wouldn't surprise me if we beat them with 5 or 6 either. In the end the most Villany would be to lose today. Or a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Emery will not take anything for granted and will have us prepared with the same level of detail as if we were playing city. Just hope the players are not in anyway complacent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end the most Villany would be to lose today. Or a draw. Based on absolutely nothing. As @VillaChris has said, the last time we lost a game we shouldn't have done at home in the league was against Leicester back in February. And that Leicester team, despite going down, was far better than this Luton team on paper, they had Barnes and Maddison playing that day. Of course upsets can happen but I'm just stunned how many negative posts there are given how on fire we are and how good we are at the moment. We've probably been given the best fixture this weekend after Arsenal who have just put 5 past their opposition. If we take this game seriously which I'm sure we will, then we will win this game. The only question is if it will be a comfortable win or whether we will have to be patient and wear them down, but Luton just shouldn't be good enough stopping us winning a 12th home game in a row. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you're right, but I've seen us f**k up too many times before to really believe in what I see these days. It will take some time before I get used to this.
