Aston Villa (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Georgian Maestro]

I had the same dream. Then I woke up and realised it’s Pep who picks the team!

Don’t want the stress of waiting till the last day to clinch it but after yesterday’s announcement not sure if the club want the PL title as much as the fans do !

The reason we made changes on Saturday was to go strong on Wednesday night and get the league wrapped up as soon as possible. The PL will continue to be top priority alongside the super league

Current feeling is that it doesn't matter anymore.

I’ll probably watch, but the outcome doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

Why?

I won't be watching, neither will I watch the Cup final on Sunday.

i hope the pre-match presser doesnt become a zoo. this ESL is more unnecessary shit which needs to be capped. need clear minds and good performance on wednesday, no fuck ups. win!

 

[RayCTID]

For the rest of this season i'll still want them to do well

 

[Akpowell]

It means United not winning the league - we need to wrap this up regardless of our feeling towards the club this morning

Quite right, win what we can this season
Worry about all that other shit next season

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Feel deflated, angry and pissed off.
However I will support them for the rest of this season, long term I don't know

It’s ok throw away comments on here, but really if you were in Pep’s shoes when we have done so well over the course of this season you would put in two players from the youth system when every game counts? Your point about the surprise element flies if you introduce one (given we’re talking about the forward line), but putting in two without the benefit of two experienced players in pressure games is surely to detriment of both players and the harmony of the squad. Yes nothing was offered yesterday. But then again I’ve never seen a team fight on four fronts at this time of the season. After the Dortmund game there was an air of inevitability about yesterday’s game (how it panned out) for me. I was hoping we could sneak a win and for once rely on some luck but it didn’t happen.

Putting in two kids, particularly on the same part of the pitch at this point of the season is in my opinion the worst idea since Abraham Lincoln decided to take in a show. If Pep did that and we lost it could destroy their confidence and you’ve hacked off the squad.

Is it? How do you know? We will never know because it has not been done. It doesn't have to be both on at the same time. Give one a start see how it pans out, if not change it but if it does, leave it!! Someone feeding Gabe in the box at close range might just be the key to Pandoras box? Back to the initial point 'we shall never know'!!

I dont want to stagger to the title, full strength, no excuses

The super duper league may never happen. This could end up being a move to put pressure on Uefa over reformation and more importantly distribution of money to the cartel. So forget all the noise. Massive 3 points needed.
