Aston Villa (H) - Tue 22nd April, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[half & half derby scarf]

Doku should have been first name on the teamsheet. Can only think he'll use him as an impact sub again.

 

[stonerblue]

Very tough game given villas form.
No silly mistakes at the back.
Come on City

 

[kunaguero10]

Is Gonzalez just another completely average midfielder we’ve signed?

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Dads army again tonight, who are we, dads army, who are we, dads army

Don’t panic captain Mainwaring!

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Is Gundo Peps secret love child…

If he is then he’s got his mams hair

 

[deano ou812]

Every big game, he drops new guys for old guard.

Until they are either injured or taken away from him he’ll continue to pick them..

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Yeah fuck that! No Gonzalez again and the grandad midfield!? Is Pep wanting sacked?!

It’s billy big bollocks time…and peps got his knackers out on the chopping block…fair play if he pulls it off…big risk we are 2 or 3 down by the break tho..

 

[bluemoon32]

Wasn't expecting that line up, hmmmm

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Pep is handling KDB's final season the opposite of how he handled Aguero's in that he's suddenly decided to play him every minute of every game despite his level. I'm fine with the XI. I only wish Bobb would start making the bench.

 

[Sky Blue]

you hate your opinion and I have mine.

Only when I'm wrong.

 

[Blu1]

I can seriously not understand that line up.

Even if playing for a draw I don’t get that team

This is all down to loyalty nothing else

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Old heads to out chess a young side with eyes on the cup game Saturday

 

[bluemoon32]

Senior Citizens ok

 

[Fordyboy46]

I honestly think Pep is sticking two fingers up to us lot when selecting the line up. Bernardo starting yet again is a complete piss take. I'm expecting another start like the Palace game after seeing that line up

 

[mike1923]

Matty Cash basically starts every game booked. Surely we would want a winger running at him from the off

 

[stan bowles]

Is Gundo Peps secret love child…

Nah...that's Bernardo.

 

[Craig]

Is Gundo Peps secret love child…

To be fair he’s not been bad lately. More concerned with the ret of that midfield and lack of width

 

[mancityscot]

We’ll go down by 1 or 2 with this lineup and then he’ll make some decent changes and we’ll get back into it

 

[Earlyriser]

I think some of these selections are Pep's answer to self-harm

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Doku should have been first name on the teamsheet. Can only think he'll use him as an impact sub again.

Would rather blow teams out of the park first half than rely on late second half goals
