Aston Villa (A) - Sat 21st Dec, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 12:30 GMT.

Great, the one game where we got leathered last season, god knows what they'll do to us this year.

Something has to change, multiple players need a wake up call.

 

[Ezy]

good luck, were gonna get destroyed

 

[Damanino]

Emery is 2x/3x the manager than some of the managers we lost in recent weeks. this doesnt bode well as right now Pep lost the plot pretty much, we are slow and shit and dont scare opponents at all. Haaland regularly in the back pocket of no name defenders without even an attempt. our wingers will next time score or set up a goal around March. our midfield is wide open thank God Fernandes missed his big chance earlier today how easily they cut us open there

 

[cookster]

I can't find any optimism for a win.

 

[bitterblue78]

Lose this and pep has to go

 

[RobinHood]

Lose this and pep has to go

... and buy some players in Jan?

 

[Haaland94]

4-1 Villa, I don't see it right now. 2 weeks till the transfer market opens, and that's our only chance right now. This, or finally having all of our players back.

 

[TFC]

Fuck this. Villa are on a poor run too, almost a guaranteed 3 points for them.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

3-0 Villa piece of piss

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Villa win, hard to see were our next win comes from. Looking at our upcoming fixture list I'd say Salford is were we will get a win but that's not even guaranteed on current form. I have this slight premonition now of Salford beating us.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Christmas. Saturday early kick off. Could be the perfect tonic.

Villa 1 City 2.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Who’s arsed? This lot got no fight in them.

 

[pudge]

Solid 3-0 walk in the park for Villa, doubt we have two shots on target

 

[micky_blue]

City winning 2-0 with 15 to go, then who knows

 

[Goaters]

Would be good if we actually changed this up slightly and punished the underperforming star names.

Ortega
JWE
Dias
Stones
Akanji
Wright
Kovacic
KDB
Mcatee
Foden
Haaland.

Clearly won’t happen though but hopefully pep sees a reshuffle is needed!

 

[bellsouth]

Stones and Dias should make a difference.

 

[hertsblue]

Going to be another game where we cannot handle the opposition's pace and energy and cannot see anything but another defeat as no doubt it will be the same line up and tactics that have been proven not to work from us

 

[Goro]

Lose this and pep has to go

You got to be joking with pep out
absolute joke after everything he has give to the club

Rather pep out
Now is the time we back him
More than ever

 

[Blu1]

He can not play Gundy, Walker, Kev, Nunes or Eddie anymore. Not sure erling deserves a spot either. He was a disgrace today

We are in such a mess & pep showing loyalty to old players now & it’s costing us

 

[blue for life]

Another predictable defeat is all I can see. Loads of factors but this is just a shite season all round. Will get worse before it gets better.
