Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread - Wed 27 Jan - 6pm

[JuanPabloAngel]

We go again. Wednesday night, 6pm, BT Sport.

And we really should hammer this lot, but I suspect it will not be an easy match.

We should have too much for them whatever happens - add your score prediction in the Erod Prediction League: https://forums.vitalfootball.co.uk/...nley-v-aston-villa.111981/page-2#post-2660852

I wonder which one of our players Ben Mee will try and f**k up this year? Ollie? Jack?

 

[Melon Donkey]

As per Newcastle

They are shit .

We are pretty good.

We need to be winning this .

 

[mike_field]

Have we won yet?

Hope we have a strong ref who deals with these dirty bastards early. You just know they will try and mame a couple of our lads.

Paul Tierney (the playoff final ref v Derby, FWIW). VAR Stuart Attwell.

I genuinely feel @JuanPabloAngel that if I don't post that at least 3 times prior to a game I've now put a hex on us, as since I started doing that pointless post we've won more than we've not lol

 

[Villan57]

We know what to expect an 8-0-2 formation and the hoof to the front two who will jump at and into Mings and Konsa, elbow them and look to win free kicks so they can lump them into the box.
Counter that and we win

He had a decent game that final

Yes, many refs wouldn't have allowed SJM's goal.

Hopefully he will send off Ben Mee for being a total shithouse early doors and we can run riot.

 

[Silhillvilla]

We need to keep the ball on the deck and play football around them as much as possible .

Lol indeed, it will confuse the hell out of them

 

[ldgavfc]

They're far better and in far greater form than Newcastle, but they still shouldn't be any match for us. Struggled to score against them last time, hopefully we can crack them open this time.

 

[BBJ]

There'll need to be considerably more intensity on our part than against Newcastle.

 

[Pangloss]

A win and a career ending injury for Ben Mee would pretty much make my week.

Apologies in advance....Dare I say it....but I think this bloke is probably the best referee out there at the moment....no fuss, calm, generally pretty good decision making with seemingly no ego...ie everything Mike Dean isn’t!

 

[DeanoVilla]

Burnley have scored 10 goals in 18 games. The worst attack in the league.

We have the 3rd best defensive record in the league.

Surely only 1 outcome here?

fully expect them dirty bastards to put some early reducers into Jack / Ollie etc, so i hope he isn't shy with the cards . Really want to beat these carthorses

Ahem. I will be the judge of that.

Don't think this will be as straight forward as some seem to think, Burnley's defence has been solid for a couple of moths now and confidence will be high after winning at Liverpool. Historically its been a bit of a bogey ground for us as well. I'm sure last season was our first win there in about 15-20 attempts.
If we are fully up for it and dont waste scoring chances like in the home fixture then we should come back with the points
