Aston Villa (A) - Sun 26th Oct, 14:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Silva&Silva]

A point will do today

I'd rather three.

 

[Indaparkside]

I’m a bit worried about this one villa at home against us will not be easy.

 

[B\connellblue]

Very dangerous team and let's not forget they have a history of winning the very, very best of trophies - winning the European Cup, something we could never do.

Dangerous all over the pitch and will expose our defensive weaknesses.

We're still not there and are lucky Utd had a tough start and Liverpool are having a dip. We've still got players who are not producing - everyone knows them - Savinho, Doku, Nunes Lewis and Foden, Gundogan and KdB are not the players they once were.....

Let's take 1-1 now and hope some our lads start finding form in November.

Anyone else think Peps unlikely to start both Gundogan and Kev in this one.?

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Lose today and the rag cunts will be 3 points ahead of us by the end of next Saturday.

Sobering thought!!!

Wow! Is this a post from last season?

How many of that team will be playing today, do you think?

Gundo and KDB have produced absolutely fuck all for City this season.

No way either should be starting this game, IMO.

I agree and I’d also drop Shaun goater as he seems to forgotten how to score

Not really - not in October.

That chap Summerbee has been useless. He should play Stan Horne and Don Revie in midfield. Sack the board.

 

[Gabriel]

He mentioned dropping off after 65 mins roughly in games last season,the players being out on their feet so to speak,it’s similar this season hopefully it’s just to do with players getting up to speed after injuries and the lack of a proper pre season..

We’ve also had a considerable number of players unavailable through injury. Greater availability now should help, too.

They've both left, Mal

 

[i kne albert davy]

If you watch the 2nd half of Pep's pre-match press conference, you will find that he disagrees with you about Nunes and Savinho. I disagree with you about Doku and Foden.

He also talks about being consistent for 90 mins a game. That is something I think we will all agree with. We tend to play in 45 minute periods.

Think he’s right about Gundo and KDB though offered us fuck all this season.

 

[RodneyRodney]

Anyone else think Peps unlikely to start both Gundogan and Kev in this one.?

I think so ; definitely a game for Yaya & Fernandinho

 

[borassic]

Let’s have one of Cherki or Marmous on the wing today please Pep! Sav or Doku on the other

 

[RayCTID]

Tricky fixture but going off last season's game they didn't exactly batter us despite us being way out of sorts. As always figure a effective way of handling their fast break aways and make sure we carry on our clinical streak.

 

[Damien10]

I hope marmoush doesn’t start. Sav and Doku are both better options at this point in time. I would go with Doku,Foden,Cherki.

 

[dannyboiblue]

1-3 today cherki hopefully gets a start

I think this might just be a record haul today Malg ;)

Swansea City should be the time to start those working their way back to full match fitness.
