Stats 7,144 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 They beat us 3-1 at the Bridge last season and managed an exceptional result at Anfield last week. There should be no complacency from fans or players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Should win, but definitely be wary of benteke as he has some quality.This.This could be an awful weekend if we lose and Arsenal, Everton, Spurs, and West Brom all win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edetarod 2,155 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 We always struggle against this lot home and away and our players must be pretty tired so it could be tough again. I reckon we may sneak it by a goal. we usually don't sneak a win, you must be thinking of utd or citywe either beat our opponents convincingly or we don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Benitez: JT is out, Sturridge is available. Decision on Bertrand to be made tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Benitez: JT is out, Sturridge is available. Decision on Bertrand to be made tomorrow.So that means we have a definite player to sit in the bench for 90 mins then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Sturridge to start, score a hattrick ,will remove his shirt and the message will read 'I am going to Lolpool'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Sturridge to start, score a hattrick ,will remove his shirt and the message will read 'I am going to Lolpool'. That is all completely believable except the sturridge starting bit, which won't happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Just realized earlier that we haven't won a league game at home since beating Norwich 4-1 on 6th October. Since then, we have played 4 games, drawn 3 and lost 1.With tough away games coming up against Norwich and Everton, anything other than 3 points against Villa this Sunday will be a disaster and a blow to our position in the Top 4.

Jase 43,479 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 it's Villa...Remember what happened last season?We were crap last season but to lose at home against a shit Villa side managed by Alex McLeish(ALEX McLEISH FFS!!) was ludicrous!!!Admittedly, we have a better squad this time around than last season but that doesn't mean we should be taking them lightly. After all, our squad last season should have been good enough to beat them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 And what they just did at Anfield. I'll be very happy to win this game, it wont be easy at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Right... they are so annoying.Indeed they are. Furthermore, Villa are unbeaten in their last 2 league visits to the Bridge and have scored 3 goals in each of those matches. Won 3-1 last season and drew 3-3 the season before that.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Benteke vs David Luiz and Gary Cahill/Branislav Ivanovic. Just me whos shitting it incase he absolutely destroys all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit 3,176 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Villa's win at Stamford Bridge last season was their first at Chelsea's stomping ground in 10 attempts, with the Villans unbeaten at Chelsea in their last two visits.The Chelsea icon Frank Lampard has scored more goals against Villa than any other current Premier League side Captain Ron Vlaar is likely to continue to miss out, leaving the young back three of Herd, Clark and Baker intact.via: whoscored.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I think we can come through this one, I'm confident we can get a win.Although players like Benteke are up against us, i think we can really get at the Villa defence if we contain high spirits.I think it's a game where who can do the most damage, i seriously doubt we can keep a clean sheet, probably conceed at least 2 if I'm honest.
