Pre-match views from the forum:

Tir Na Nog: “This game won’t even be about tactics or anything like that, it’ll be purely mental, after two successive seasons of crashing at the exact same stage and we’re on the brink again which will result in a trophyless season the pressure if mounting all of a sudden this fixture is looking pretty daunting. Tho Wolves have little to play for they’ll definitely be up for it and it won’t be easy by any means. That and the fact that the players will have to try and pick themselves up, and find energy when it seems to be depleting.

The last two 2nd halves vs Villa and Bayern have been nothing short of horrendous. Wenger talked about going out there and grasping the opportunity what we saw in both those games was the complete opposite as we struggling to create any really chances or sustain any pressure when we needed goals. It’ll not be a case of just flicking a switch and going back to playing attacking football, it’s not a tap you can turn on or off, we’ll really have to grind this one out. It genuinely might be one of the toughest matches physically and mentally all things into consideration.

I’m of the belief we need a bit of freshness in the side but I doubt it’ll happen, Mik is pretty much set on his group of about 15 who are ever in contention to start.”

Dokaka: “Feel like this is where we find out of it’s another collapse or Villa was just a blip. If you go on to finish the season strong then it’s still a massive improvement from last season.

Losing against Villa, a team that will play CL football next season, isn’t a crime. Losing back-to-back PL games where one of them is against a terrible team would be and questions definitely have to be asked to be honest.”
