Agree he is a very mobile player and will be a danger. To be honest I thought playing out from CB on Sunday was painfully stagnant and neither player looked near match fit and it gave West Ham time to organise defense faster than most opponents would usually get against us. Hopefully a week's rest and some medical genius will smarten things up for Sunday.I see your point,but i think Watkins will give Dinho a torrid time.
Pep will put out what he thinks is the best team to get the 3 points, whether they are half fit or carrying a contract with another club in their hands. Losing this game would cost us far more than a drop in value of any player, I think if there was even a hint of interference in Pep's decisions he would be the one not appearing on Sunday.I would say to not start Grealish. Villa knows him way too well - perhaps better than us!
However I know it is still a great chance he starts.
But if Sterling/Mahrez/Jesus/Gundo are leaving and if any of them reach an agreement with other clubs within this week - it is likely their agents and our management will ask Pep to save them from physical Villa team if possible to avoid incidents like Sane. Then Grealish perhaps starts. Let's see.
Doesn't matter what Villa think they know, we have 11 players they will need to know, not to mention he knows more about most of their players than any other City player. If Pep thinks he's the man for the job, what Villa think won't be an issue.Agreed. Villa know their former main man too well, they would easily nullify him. Already we are thin at the back, we don't need to weaken our attack by playing him only to our demise. This is a must win, not draw but a must win, this is crunch time, this is were city must pull out all the stops, heavy artillery is needed for this match, not a Grealish-Villa Reunion. Steven Gerrard would wanna do a solid for his former team and hand them the title, so we do not need any more liabilities on top of the issues we already have at the back.
I doubt pep cares about that. He will play the best team that he thinks will win us the title he isn't under any other obligationsBut if Sterling/Mahrez/Jesus/Gundo are leaving and if any of them reach an agreement with other clubs within this week - it is likely their agents and our management will ask Pep to save them from physical Villa team if possible to avoid incidents like Sane. Then Grealish perhaps starts. Let's see.
Get that but maybe he would be a major distraction for some of their players and that will leave space and time for Phil, Kev, Bernardo to exploit. He seems to have a big personality so I don't think it will be an emotional issue - having said that I recall Gareth Baz having poor games against Villa on a regular basis which was very unlike him.
Maybe you aren't aware that Grealish isn't having his best season. Whatever the justification, whether it's his first year, new system, new team or whatever, at the end his not that threatening up-top and I assure, Villa players know that!Doesn't matter what Villa think they know, we have 11 players they will need to know, not to mention he knows more about most of their players than any other City player.

I am sure Gerrard is updated on him. Watched the tapes and spoke to the players, watching him trying to adapt at city and not really making much of an impact, so I am sure he knows what he will be dealing with when it comes to Grealish.Grealish's former team mates might know him but Gerrard wasn't in charge when he was at Villa. If Pep thinks he is up to the task he will play.
And more than likely we have done our due dillengence as well to counter what they might have in store for Grealish. Don't forget they have tricky game before playing us.I am sure Gerrard is updated on him.

In all honesty, am counting on that game to cause them some damage, given we thin at the back! Them playing on Thursday is truly a blessing for us, but I don't want us to take that blessing for granted!And more than likely we have done our due dillengence as well to counter what they might have in store for Grealish.

For some reason, I kinda suspected you would dwell on that and then turn this into a witch Hunt of me being a scouser or a Dipper. Listen, sit your ass down firmly and read this: I want better players up-top, simple as that and we have better plays than Grealish up-top."killers" !!!!! Wow do we not have enough lawyers employed ? Thought I was reading the Liverpool Echo or DM , looks like we have more than one Blue moon but maybe the cow has jumped over some.
We will give Villa a gameIn all honesty, am counting on that game to cause them some damage, given we thin at the back! Them playing on Thursday is truly a blessing for us, but I don't want us to take that blessing for granted!
If it means it gives us a chance to lift up that trophy, then I really hope he does.Grealish will score my prediction
Maybe you aren't aware of the potential damage to your health such anxiety over a season defining game can cause. Such a frenzy after only 24 days on the forum, relax, take a laxative and let Pep and his team do the worrying.Maybe you aren't aware that Grealish isn't having his best season. Whatever the justification, whether it's his first year, new system, new team or whatever, at the end his not that threatening up-top and I assure, Villa players know that!
Now why play him, when you can play Phil who can command the game and have more influence on it than Grealish could ever do? Phil who can tear up their defense, a serious threat, to score or assist!
This is the last day, at the end of the day Pep will do whatever Pep wants to do and we all know he has done some questionable decisions that has cost us at times.
I am a Pep fan, wouldn't trade him for any manage, but I don't want us to lose that title by him doing those questionable decisions on the last day. I don't want to lose the title like this, it would certainly not sit well with any of us!
Lol, doing your due diligence on me. 24days on the forum and then what? Does it give you an idea of some sort, does it color your sky, in order to see how far you can reach when dealing with me?Maybe you aren't aware of the potential damage to your health such anxiety over a season defining game can cause.

Tell it to your hero Pep he will surely value your instructions. " A witch hunt" , now you are quoting Trump, I have read some of your posts and never thought you might be a scouser or dipper or both at the same time, some of them can actually interact on a football forum reasonably intelligently, you might even learn something from them.For some reason, I kinda suspected you would dwell on that and then turn this into a witch Hunt of me being a scouser or a Dipper.

Did you get that?
Too late to help you now.Lol, doing your due diligence on me. 24days on the forum and then what? Does it give you an idea of some sort, does it color your sky, in order to see how far you can reach when dealing with me?
Ok how about I be a good lad and listen, so which laxative would you recommend I take, good sir?
