Aston Villa (A) - Wed 1st Dec, 20:15 | Pre-Match Thread

Not wanting to be a doom monger but I agree,obviously you can’t legislate for players getting injured and so forth but on paper that line up will struggle in my opinion,yes you can’t win every game but all the good work of results away at Leicester,Chelsea and red scousers can start to be undone if you fail to get something in these type of games ..

Eh? Who have Villa got who are better than Dias, Cancelo, Rodri, Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez?

I hope to fuck that line up isn’t right. I like Ake but we don’t seem nearly as assured when he plays. And we’re shite at building centrally from the back when he does as well. He’s not made for this team at all IMO but would thrive somewhere else (or left back).

I think Ake's nailed on.

Rumours were already surrounding Stones saying he isn't 100% and Laporte is suspended.

I hope we stick one right between the scouse cunts eyes

0-3, couple for gundogan

The team is fine, we're playing Villa not Bayern, should be more than good enough to beat them, No excuses for not taking 3 points. how many of their squad would get in our side ahead of that lineup?

The likes of sterling and mahrez have to step up, not be content with being fine and look to be a match winner. Jesus is in good form, but cancelo and Bernardo are our only two match winners from that, time for somebody else to prove their worth.

Bernardo and Cancelo are our only 2 match winners? Strongly disagree

Agree, with the score and the sentiment, if Gundogan not fit let it be 2 from Raz and 1 from Jack off the bench, at the holt end

What? Another midfielder missing? It'll be a 8-0-2 formation tonight at this rate.

No, Bernardo and cancelo are our only two current formed based match winners from that lineup.

Let’s face it, which ever team we put out is most likely going to control possession. Pep has the whole club playing his way so there’s no need to panic when you see a fringe player on the team sheet. I predict we’ll bring Slippy G back down to earth!

Chilly out
