Tomaszk Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I know the high line works. Anyone that doesn't think it works is wrong. It's a good thing. We catch everyone offside constantly. I still fear sides like Forest having really quick forwards with that much space to run into. We'll have to score more than one I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Ramsey and Pau back, fully fit and up to speed, will make all the difference in this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 3.00 kick-off on a Saturday at home? What sort of witchcraft is this? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace is irrelevant if they can't time their runs, luckily VAR will catch any that go unnoticed by the linesman. Last time against Forest they were offside 9 times, and the same fixture last season they were offside 7 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 22 Moderator Share Posted February 22 I'm strangely confident about this one. Having Torres back is huge. We have a quite ridiculous 77% win rate when he starts, and the 4 we didn't win were all away from home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 There are no easy games at PL level. A win would be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good job, you posted this because I convinced myself it was 530 for some bizarre reason and would’ve been late 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can discount the first two as well, because of Mings, his injury and him being thrown in at the deep end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Yeah I feel quietly confident about this one. I’d be more than happy with a similar outcome to our last home game vs them. A not so pretty 2-0 win, with a last minute goal from Ollie and with no Bertie magic, an opening goal from some Bailey skillz. Honestly I don’t care how we win at this stage, just want those points and to build some more momentum for the run in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Not really seen Forest under Nuno but I assume they will sit back and spring a counter with balls over the top to pacey front men? About as dangerous as it gets for us. Need an early goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 They've only won back to back once this season, that was Nuno's first two full games (think he was in the stands against Bournemouth, could be wrong)... anyway, apart from me now jinxing that pattern, they do feel like a very up and down team i.e. they get themselves up for a game and win, then foot off the gas and relax a bit too much the next. We didn't turn up at all at the City ground, so that might be in the players minds - plus we've had a weeks full rest. No excuses here and a 3pm Saturday kick off in front of a full house should have them fired up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alreadyexists Posted February 23 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 23 So excited, I’m taking my son for his first ever visit to Villa Park… I can’t wait!! He’s got his little replica kit out already bless him. He’s not quite 6 so I fully expect him to be bored within the first ten mins, but it’ll be worth it as long as he enjoys the chips and burger 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
