I fear today will be one of them days, Villa on a 7 game losing streak, new manager, new players in the team out to impress, surely we will beat them but it might not go as planned.

Key will be a quick start to demoralise them and the crowd.
 
vinny said any result would be good after a CL game,i'm not having that
I thought it was a strange interview, he even made excuses saying "but all of us know it's not easy to do" (come back to the Prem after a high in Europe). Dunno, he just didn't seem as confident as I expect from him.
 
I think (hope) well be more 4-3-3 than 4-2-3-1 because as lots have already said, we don't want Toure as a number 10, he needs to be deeper dictating the pace of the game and linking our defence to attack.
 
For some inexplicaple reason i am getting concerned that Sinclair is starting for Villa.

In the Olden Days I might have agreed. But speaking as an old City fan I can't say how great it feels to be able to sit down for a match like this and be sure we have the players, the spirit and the confidence to no have to worry about Former Player Syndrome.
 
Want to see lots of movement from Bony in the box to exposes Meek's propensity to ballwatch and switch off at CB
 
Watched the BBC wildlife documentary 'The Hunt' last Sunday (excellent photography) and was impressed by the way the African dogs isolated and hunted down the weakest wildebeest, using their pack instincts and stamina to secure the kill. Every time I think of Alan Hutton...
African dogs? racist:)

Does this have anything to do the match ref named Pawson ?
 
The game in Sevilla should be Forgot about now,the system against villa will only work if they apply themselves like they did against Sevilla,which we will find out in the first few minutes in...
 
Ι don t like it. If they park the bus you can t try something different without making any subs.

I'm not sure about this formation either. I'd have Navas, sterling and de bruyne on from the start but lets see what happens in the first 45 mins hopefully we'll get an early goal.
