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

Yea, it's crap at the moment, but we've seen worse in the last 30 years. Time to start turning around in the next couple of games.

I'm trying to think back to when we only won 1 game in ten, bearing in mind we have an even extremely expensive squad.
I remember when Willo Flood got motm against Chelsea and Mark Kennedy pulled his hamstring just running on to the pitch.
Those 30 years where you thought it was worse had players of a much lower standard but they seemed to have their heads screwed on

Villa aren’t in great form and threw away their game at Forest just like we did today. That said, they actually did carry a threat going forward and Forest are a better team than the rags. It’s difficult finding much to be optimistic about in this one.

I'll take these dodgy 2 months over the first 15 years or so of the 30 years I've supported City. These lads have their head screwed on and have given me some of my best ever memories, just their cycle has come to and end. Ironically enough with Villa at the weekend, even when we were proper shit, I seem to remember us doing well against them. A brilliant goal by Distin springs to mind. Can't see us get much this weekend, but do think it will start to turn boxing day.

Villa is going to run us off the park.

2-1 Villa. Another game of dejavu.

I do hope there is a dab of lube available before we bend over and take a fat one in the hole.

We're not helping ourselves here. We don't have the options to play how Pep desires.

Do something different.

 

[footballmanager]

villa will play like its a champions league final and haaland will be benched, those are my two predictions for the match

 

[kunaguero10]

We’re getting battered

 

[Pelegrinni]

I’m predicting a loss simply because Kyle Walker will probably start this game.

Struggling to see were we next win, the next 3 games all look tricky. Not even guaranteed to beat Salford on current form.
