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

Despite everyone’s moaning, I’m pretty sure our record is very good when Kev, Gundo and Kovacic have started together. I didn’t really want to see Bernardo on the right as but it is what it is.

could McAtee be on the right with KDB on the left?

Worse than the match day thread this and we haven’t kicked a fucking ball yet

Honestly. The people who complain about the moaners are worse than the moaners at this rate.

Spot on.

Both teams played Saturday and have a cup semi final this weekend which there will be half an eye on too.

Villa are a good side at home but tend to be pretty poor away. Emery will undoubtedly be thinking a point is good for Villa with their remaining games and set them up on the counter. So ball retention the way PSG did in the home leg is more beneficial than dynamic younger players who might leave us stretched.

No point kicking off until after the game if the result and performance warrants it.

You could argue that the semi final is a bigger game for Villa than tonight's game, potential that some of their players may even have an eye on it

It would be a huge chance to win a trophy for them, and Palace will be no roll over

Let's see what happens anyway

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
Grealish won it all

 

[Dax777]

Are all the people moaning about the line up the same people who moaned about the line ups before we beat Palace and Everton?

The Everton line up sucked. And stayed crap until he changed things.

Hopefully, this is more like Palace snd Bernado doesn't mess the chemistry up

 

[Sky Blue]

Hopefully proven wrong again

You usually are.

 

[Semper aggressus]

I’d have been more confident with two from Grealish, Savinho, Foden or Doku starting instead of McAtee and Bernardo.

 

[journolud]

Do you honestly think we'll be pulling a 0-2 scoreline back against Villa, and against Everton we were absolutely insipid for 80 mins. Hopefully proven wrong again but I can see this game being over at half time

Not like you to be negative

 

[johnny crossan]

Ratboy still not drunk his Warfarin, that face just begs to be crumpled up.

 

[Dax777]

Because Gunso and Bernie played 90 minutes on Saturday, i wouldn't have started either. But that's just me

 

[MCFC1993]

Well I can't say that team inspires a ton of confidence. No legs up against plenty of legs.

Outside of maybe 1 or 2 changes though we don't really have much choice and that's the way it's been all season.

 

[Protein Junkie]

So many Fanny wipes on here ffs.
Moan after the game if it works that way. Before that support the club.

 

[hilts]

Just back in UK on Eurostar ,turned on Bluemoon I just hope City get 3 points tonight and the moaning twats on here can come back and grovel.
How many of them attend games.

Does entering the ground impart football wisdom on a fan or something ?

 

[pbueno16]

could McAtee be on the right with KDB on the left?

Hope so, but wouldn't be opposed to them switching sides either. Would much rather de Bruyne on the wing than Bernardo.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

He does like sticking the knife into the rags, does Gary chuckle.

 

[Damien10]

I’ve had a difficult day. And after seeing the line up I will not be watching it.

I can’t deal with any more stress for today.

Let’s hope for 3 points.

 

[bearcityblu]

C'mon City. Need a fast start and blow them away.

 

[DelToro]

Honestly. The people who complain about the moaners are worse than the moaners at this rate.

It’s the moaners thrice removed who do my head in.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Has Sky Sports mentioned City once in the first thirty minutes?? Fucking Hell.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

So many Fanny wipes on here ffs.
Moan after the game if it works that way. Before that support the club.

Just had a look and I’m not surprised. It’s every single game.
