Lol I can literally hear the panic in your text.

And more so if they had of said playing in goals ;-)

 

[Gabriel]

Blonde. Don't drink at home much these days and this stuff is sending me.

Try the ambrée, stronger than the other two but enjoyable this time of year.

 

[Bill Walker]

Will our England defensive midfielder Phillips ever get a game?

 

[super_city_si]

Same non existent midfield just we have Stones on his own instead of Rodri. Villa will score 2 minimum.

He might as well leave

 

[meeesh]

I can’t for the life of me understand what Ake has suddenly done wrong, arguably one of the best players this season

 

[SiMCFC]

I do wish he would just go back to a bog standard back 4 for a while, Ake in at left back and stones next to Dias

 

[Chak19]

at one point we have to get a lucky win.

The only lucky win I remember under Pep was Arsenal away a couple of season ago with Rodri scoring in stoppage time, it was about the only game where everything went our way.

 

[phargrave]

Pep doesn’t really like Phillips that’s obvious!

 

[heslops barnet]

Anyone else fearing the worst tonight?

 

[Sky Blue]

City TV: David James and Emile Heskey in the studio. Kinell, couple of partisan blues there.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Good to see Nunes back in the squad. I know he’s had a false start but we need the numbers, especially in midfield.

 

[sh249]

Hopefully Lewis will be a bit deeper alongside Stones.
More than enough in that front four to score a few. Good balance.

 

[tweety]

Think with Stones back we'll win

 

[big gaz]

Gundog must have passed those pics of Peps Mrs onto Ake ;-)

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I'm going for McGinn getting booked on his 8th foul and Akanji getting booked for his first fair challenge.

 

[Lavinda Past]

He might as well leave

To be brutally frank, I think he's been treated like shit by Pep this season.

Perhaps because he is.

We'll still get £50m for him because football is mad.

 

[super_city_si]

Anyone else fearing the worst tonight?

Villa are 4/1 to win at home (great odds). They will score 2 minimum against that side. We're playing the exact same shape/way that seen us concede 8 in the last 3 games.

No excuse for not playing Kalvin tonight.
Stones and Lewis in front of him, Nunes and Kova in the midfield is very well known Pep’s brain fart.

 

[Chak19]

Walker playing again despite his crap form, he better perform this time.
