Aston Villa - Nottingham Forest

[Marinakis Red]

Going to be a very interesting game and hugely important for both teams. A point is better for forest than villa but neither will be happy with that if they want to get their season up and running. The longer it goes on the harder it will be to get out of it and the bigger the gap to Europe will get, even high end midtable will start to require a long winning run.
The records show 75% of the time teams finish within 6 spaces of there position after first 10 games.
We need a win before it starts feeling like ange part 2.

It would never be Ange part 2, we are not really giving up any chances at the minute, we look really solid just need to transform our team in the final third now on the base of that defense. 

Glasner has a great record against emery.

Hopefully that trumps our dreadful record at Villa Park.

I can't remember us having won there since the 2-0 (Pearce, Stone) in the mid 1990s.

Yes I was just thinking the same. McGinn owns us. This is absolutely not a given.

Jair deserves to continue. Dio will just have to wait.

Jesus for N'Doye who can come on the second half for his redemption arc when Villa are tired. Jesus is much better in this formation.

I still think we won't win this. Not sure we do at Villa park. 1-1. Tammy for them. MGW for us.


Chicago: Still not entirely on board the big red train.

Beat them 3-2 is the difference in leagues that big?

Just a few stats

46% of Villa goals last season were scored by Watkins and Rogers - both left

32% of Villa goals were scored by set pieces - Austin McPhee their set piece coach has also left !

What could possibly go wrong !

What’s our record their since returning to the Prem…?

[Fumanchew]

Won 2 drawn 2 lost 4

Scored 10 conceded 14

One a piece in Europe

Our wins and the draws came at the city ground

[Sausage Roll]

Only Savona unavailable for the match.

Surprised were quiet pre match on here. I know everyone hates him but Sutton has predicted a 2-1 win I know they scored 3 in mid week in the UCL but how does a team go from no wins and no goals in 3 prem games to suddenly winning and scoring 2 just cus it’s us. 270 mins of football and one shot on target

[Reds73]

Emery has always struggled against Glasner and his teams set up.
They like to go through the middle which is very difficult with how OG sets up, with his box of 4 in midfield with the 2 number 10’s and then the 3 centre backs.

Cautiously optimistic for this one.

Not sure about Villa this season, but I hope that teenager that ditched us for Villa plays and get his comeuppance. Jesus to replace Ndoye?
