a last season team thad faild to won it at Villa away... with Rodri , Stones, KDB in , and still usefull Cancelo... dont know what to expect nowdays. Its pretty frustrating

 

[wolviedinho]

Teams can smell blood at the min. Expect Villa to score on the counter. Would be nice to see our defending to return to something that resembles normality.

No team is unbeatable.

lets play with 5 CBs to play clean sheet!

Difficult to see how we can go there and pull a win out the bag having conceded 8 in our last 3. Villa are shit hot at the moment and their ground is never an easy place to go at the best of times.

Rodri out makes this task a whole lot harder, and i'm just not sure this team has the mentality to pull off a result without him.

If we can get a draw i'd be over the moon.

If Stones doesn’t start or even feature against Villa, then why have we had him sat freezing his behind off on the bench for the last three games?

This...if he's not fit he shouldn't be on the bench...if he is he could have saved us 4 points in the last 2 games

Ederson; Walker Dias Gvardiol Ake; Kovacic Bernardo Rico; Foden Haaland Doku

We need a few other guys to step up now. Haaland needs to be finding the back of the net.

If Haaland scored his two sitters we win convincly

A real blow to lose Rodri for this one, and without Grealish we don't have many attacking options to change things if needed - although I'm not sure we'd start Grealish at Villa Park in any case considering the reception he'll get.

Even though there's so long to go in the season, it feels like a must win game this one. Late goals against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs have cost us 7pts. We simply have to win this one.
