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

I admire Emery.
His team's play attacking, fast football.
If things are not working out, he changes things early on.
We are due an energetic, committed performance, soon.
Please Pep, make early subs if things are going badly.
Also, please remember the starting eleven can all be subbed if they are knackered...

11 subs allowed in a game - is this a new City rule for this weekend? ;-)

Expect this to be one of if not the worst results yet. They've got the blueprint to cause us serious problems when we are on it, in this state I'm fearful as to how ugly it may get. Awful game to have directly before Christmas. Don't see how we come away with anything but I'll be delighted to be proved wrong.

Don't put grealish anywhere near the pitch for this, he'll make Sterlings dreadful hide and seek performances against the dippers look valiant. He'll get a shit load of abuse, he'll start reacting to it and that will get the fans and their side riled up even more.

Go with wingers, go direct and at least try and at create chances. Sick of seeing us try and control games we are simply not capable of controlling, do fuck all with the ball for the majority of the game and throw it away anyway. Attack them and see if we can outscore them.
