Aston Villa (H) - Wed 3rd April, 20:15 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

It will be a proper shithouse performance fr9m Villa…try and defend the whole game

It will be but we'll be at them with more tempo than normal, I reckon.

Another p word is pillock

That team is getting pillock?

 

[ancoats]

No Haaland or De Bruyne.

Rightly so

Look Pep knows his onions, Fans can see it a mile away and Both Haaland and De Bruyne have been well of the pace and maybe both need a kick up the arse and fight for a place, Nothing better than making a point and maybe Pep is saying ok you show me you want your place back from the bench,

But both are world-class players and maybe carrying knocks and Pep feels it is a risk and sometimes rest is the only cure, Big game tonight and 3 Points are a must and after watching the treble doc, its the time of the season when City and Pep ask the questions

Que?

Darren England ref. Is he a dipper or does he just ref and var like one?

He’s not English he’s Scouse!!!

Interesting line-up.
Are we prioritising the CL, or are the 2 big players we've left out simply not capable of 2 games in 4 days currently??
Ah well I've gone with a draw, but hoping for the win

 

[mosssideblue]

Good line up. Happy to see Pep replace kev and Erling, they need a little time out

 

[Crooked_rain]

Apologies if it's been posted but has anyone got the image with a list of channels to find the game on?

 

[Sale Moor Blue]

Strange Team

 

[SebastianBlue]

That team is getting pumped

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Ok time to take the handbrake off. Buckle up and enjoy the ride
Come on Blues!

A draw and we’re fucked…..

I’m gutted. I had a fall earlier and went over on my ankle but thought I would be ok. However it’s too painful. Ok for meandering around the house but not for the pleasures of the stairs of CBL1.
Why can’t we do ‘Beam me up Scotty’ yet?
It’s not my week. :-( :-)

get well soon :)

 

[br88]

Foden lucky to start after his non-performance against Arsenal. Needs to produce in the middle of the park tonight.

 

[Paul1970]

Make or break tonight because anything other than a win is gane over and title over .

 

[clarion]

What does Oscar Bobb have to do to get a start?

Nothing. He gets Peps youngster treatment of patience like Cole.

 

[Blue Til Death]

You can’t be serious?

Is that you John??

 

[Phil1]

Strange Team

It’s a team that says to me we are micro managing every game now we are well into the business end of the season. Each game we play over the next month or so will see changes in personnel and formations.
Some of it forced through injury but mostly trying to keep players as fit and fresh as possible.

 

[malg]

Fuck y'all.......

A 1-1 would be a great result against this resurgent beast that is Aston Villa. They're playing the kind of football that saw them win the European Cup. Very, very, very good team.



Oh, and Haaland either scores tonight or we should take that Madrid release clause...
