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

[Gone for a Burton]

Wrap Pep up in cotton wool or he'll be out for six weeks next.

"City are back,
City are back,
Hello,Hello.........

Villa have actually conceded more goals in the PL than we have, which surprised me. They're not in great form - 7 points from the last 18 - whereas we've only got 4 from the last 18. Would take a draw now if offered.

3-0 city. C'mon. Blind optimism (well what's left of it)

 

[york away to this!]

Will it be an early Christmas present for us, or another selfless act of charity to them?...

I’m afraid we’re gonna get fucked

At present our defence has been a shambles.
Eds has made a few erratic choices in play.

Gvardiol and Lewis ,both whom I like have been caught in possession out of position in midfield and are pushing forward too much.

Akanji has had a few mares too.

I m happy with dias and stones back there but I think we ought to cement a regular defence until we get back to winning ways.

We owe villa a match from last year. Fingers crossed blues.

5/2 villa at home hate saying it but it looks easy Xmas money at the moment

Seems that way.

Although I'll admit I've taken the plunge on the 5/2 myself, and that normally only means one thing, and that's the blues will be 3 up at half time, and go onto win 5 nil with Villa having 3 men sent off, and not registering a shot on target.

So on that basis, we should all have a smile on our face tomorrow afternoon.

You are dropping three players for whom exactly ?

I’d drop Walker for Rico, Bernardo for Savio and Gundogan for Kovacic. Will that do?
