What kind of a start do you expect next weekend?

[New York Red]

An absolutely dominant display? 2-0 or maybe a 3-0 win?

 

An iffy display. A lucky 2-1 win?

 

A gritty display but disappointing result. A draw.

 

A lacklutre display leaving us wringing our hands about an uninspired pre-season resulting in a opening day loss?

[Michael]

A very tough game. Villa had an excellent result and, apparently, performance against Inter on Saturday so they will be on a high. I expect a game in which we miss a few good chances, get frustrated and eventually get away with a draw.

[JonShar]

Any other options or just those 4?

Absolutely, you can formulate your own option.

 

Assess what you think might happen next weekend based on how we are playing now, how you suspect we'll perform in the game, and how you suspect Villa will perform.

Hoping for some good movement and plenty of goals, which may happen, but I think a hard fought win by a single goal is probably the more likely outcome. I can't even contemplate losing, although a draw wouldn't exactly rock my world either.

[John am Rhein]

A hard-fought game which we might just win by the odd goal or at least get a draw. Odds: Liverpool 11/10, Villa 14/5, draw 12/5.

[psl]

1-1.

[Owen1978]

I thinks its gonna be a draw maybe 0-0

[Guest Kaizer]

I just pray to God we dont experiance a start were we draw against Villa and lose against Chelsea while the mancs and Chelsea both get maximum points from their three first matches and we will once again be trailing 8 points behind even if we will have a game in hand.

[Guest Ant]

Ideally: Us to have a excellent win, with a really good performance 3-0...Confidence Booster

 

Probably: 1-0 Scrappy Win....

 

Personally I believe a draw away a win at home wouldn't be a bad start...Or am I being too nice?

[Cobs]

CARNAGE!

[Stevie H]

i expect us to have to rely as ever on the skipper to save us, just like trevor francis said yesterday.

[Gilps]

1-1.

 

That's what I think too. Hope I'm wrong. If we follow that up with anything but a win against Chelsea, this place will go into meltdown.

[IgPig]

I think we'll win 0..2

[chrisbonnie]

im going to the game, anytime im over to see us play, we win, so im hoping the trend stays that same, besides, i think ill tear my hair out if we lose, especially as ill be sitting in the holte with a bunch of brummie, scouse hating ejits

[G Richards]

I'm going for a 3-1 win. Torres brace and I'm not sure who will get our third. Agbonlahor for them. It will be a solid and professional away win and will set us up nicely for Chelsea.

We keep on doing it and he keeps on digging us out afterwards.

 

Apparently.

[Sion]

If we don't win I fear for the knobheads calling for heads to be rolled after last nights game.

 

I think it'll be 0-0.

i mean it's not like other clubs rely on their best player to win them matches or anything is it?

 

f***ing worst cliché doing the rounds at the minute this is, makes my blood boil.

Oh of course not. After all it's not like Cristiano Ronaldo played a massive part in United's title win last season, or Joe Cole in Chelsea's the year before.

 

All of their players were scoring hattricks every week, just to show that they don't rely on their best players.

[Falconhoof]

we'll batter them 4 nil.

[Flasher]

we'll batter them 4 nil.

 

 

I've got Torres down for 3 goals too.

[CarraLegend]

We'll win then the same t***s who have been saying we're in crisis, the manager is evil, Babel is s*** etc will then be saying we're about to go the season unbeaten, we'll probably win all 38 League games, number 6 is on the way etc.

Agree with that.
