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

[Semper aggressus]

Come on City!!!! Let’s turn this shit form around and start playing like we can again.

 

[Eccles Blue]

John Boy's playing, John Boy's playing. My Christmas has come early. :-) I might even sit and watch the match on my TV.





Which I was going to do anyway. but.......... :-) ;-)

 

[Mr Partridge]

Good to see Ake back in the squad. Will come in handy for the inevitable Stones and Akanji injuries.

 

[Haaland94]

Slow AF midfield. Rico-Gundo partnership again, Jack wasted out wide, so is Bernardo. Yeah, we are getting smashed. Maybe it will motivate our board to actually go out there and buy someone...

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Time Foden starts grabbing games by the bollocks

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Turn on TNT Sports
- Talk about boxing
- Talk about Mucus Gashfoot
Turn off.

 

[Frank the Yank]

There’s a corner just ahead. I think we’re about to turn in to it ………

Hope it’s not contagious from the Rags..

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

You can hardly say he's changed nothing? Walker, KDB dropped. Stones, Akanji, Kovacic, Grealish back in?

They are all either injured, recovering from knocks or playing with them. Need to give them a rest and give the squad some playing time, or there’s no point even having a squad

 

[Ken92]

How are the goals going to come ? Zero speed and creativity in this line-up..

 

[citytill1die84]

That's a very decent 11

 

[Eccles Blue]

Crikey when our own people can't even spell our name CITY I do worry. ;-)

Yep, Kovacic mustn’t be in midfield as per the lineup in your post

 

[Eaststander1]

Just can't see us getting anything today at Villa unfortunately .... other than wet through and windswept of course!

 

[OntarioBlue]

Not if everyone does their best . No point moaning when we have injuries

I’m not moaning, I’m making an observation. We have no right back, our midfield is weak and we have nobody to supply assists to Haaland. Injuries have totally f….d us up this year.

 

[Father Paul]

A new injury apparently

Excellent timing that.

 

[Haaland94]

Yep, Kovacic mustn’t be in midfield as per the lineup in your post

Kovacic returning is a great thing for us, but I wouldn't have Rico and Gundo in this 11. I would rather have Bernardo and Jack in the middle, with Doku and Savinho out wide.

Seeing as he called the team wrong i wouldnt take any notice of that , wait and see

 

[axlgod]

We will win today.

Come On City!!!

Isn't that your name for Johnny?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Steffen back in between the sticks.
