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

enlighten us with your superior knowledge what else would you do otherwise.?

Go back to what worked. Have your 3 mids and have stones as a cb stepping in to midfield to make the box 4 that woked so well. Fuck walker off and play akanji there to cover the channel when stones steps in.

this selection is just a continuation of the 3 games that saw us concede 8 goals.

BUT pep is the master, in him we trust.

It's going to click at some point and good luck to the team we are facing when it does

Be it Akanji, Stones, or Lewis, someone has to watch Tielemans and stick to him like glue. Villa play their best stuff when he gets into pockets of space and releases their front men.

Absolutely love the man. Would do some on here some good to realise nothing is won at this stage of the season. Born winner.

No Ake again for Gvardiol is surprising

Perhaps the extra control in midfield that Stones and Rico will bring means he prefers Gvardiol’s threat going forward rather than Ake’s solidity at the back.

That said, I’d have picked Ake at centre back before either Dias or Akanji

Me too. And Ake is also a goal threat, one of our best defenders too. Strange choice....

Just turned on and there’s our wonderful Pep. He is soooo enthusiastic and inspiring. Brilliant Pep. :-)

The match day thread will drain you. But you knew that;-)

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

I’d take a narrow defeat now.

Mods, can we have a dislike button for comments like this please?

Whatever happen it is going to be entertaining and if we do lose it isn't completely the end of our title hopes.

I must admit, I'm getting addicted to the adrenaline fix these days. Just dont know what's gonna happen!!!
