Aston Villa (A) - Wed 6th Dec, 20:15 | PL | Pre Match Thread

[MadchesterCity]

We seem to be already in the 'must win' section of the season. A little earlier than last year I think.

Spurs was a must win as well unfortunately

Hope Jack man's up at Villa Park.

6 points behind and Arsenal are undoubtedly stronger than last year and the scousers are an absolute ball ache in title races. It’s not something we can’t do I do genuinely think we’ve got a better chance in europe though

We'll come short this season in the traditional trophies but win the Super Cup and Club World Cup. We had a terrible transfer window and terrible luck with KDB injury. We’re not getting the rub of the green and our rivals are. The premier league have already made it clear we won’t win 4 in a row and Arsenal or Liverpool will take the title this season. Madrid or Bayern will win the champions league. If we were to win the title this season from here it would be Peps greatest achievement to date

Hope Jack man's up at Villa Park.

He is suspended

He is suspended

He'll still get the Doku fan boys on here giving him grief.

 

[madloaf]

That's horrible.

Haha true, Doku maybe on bench, more likely injured

 

[Bluewars]

Please no Alvarez.

Love the lad, but he is the main problem.

He is the one leaving Rodri exposed. Gives away cheap ball and doesn't get back with runners.

Not his fault, but him being on the pitch also prevents us changing the attacking option off the bench.

Wonderful dead ball delivery, incredible awareness in the penalty area, but we all know he will make way again for KDB.

Having Julian in from the start makes us far too attacking, we need any extra sitter alongside Rodders right now?

Said this a few times and got bit for it.

 

[MadchesterCity]

That's horrible.

It shows how threadbare we are with a few players out.
I think that’s probably not too far off for tonight, I’d try something different

Not been to Villa Park since the Micah last minute equaliser. Where’s the best pre match pint for blues?
