Aston Villa | EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Rammy Blue]

Yeah, probably although 4 games in 11 days is a lot at this stage of the season, even after the break. We’ll want him as fresh as possible for the second Real game and hopefully latter stages of the CL.

It’s a cup final though mate.

No midweek game after the derby so Kev could literally play against Villa, miss the Sheff game, play against Scum, miss the Burnley game, then play against Madrid.

Edit....even more so after Leicester just lost again, lol. They are making 2nd place in Prem rather easy for us.

Though not the most important goal we have ever scored (that was the Aguero one) the best one I have ever seen since watching us since 1962 was the Yaya goal against Sunderland in the LC Final. I'm really excited for this game.

Why do I get the “Wigan” feeling over Sunday............then again, I’m the most pessimistic old city bastard going, my fear of losing is by far greater than the optimism of winning, joyful c””t aren’t i?

Think KDB should start of the bench and only brought on if needed, hope Foden gets some minutes and we go with an Aguero, Sterling and Mahrez front three

Wigan was a strange one. The rumours about Mancini were timed to cause the maximum disruption. There was something about that day that didn’t sit right. This is different, we have harmony in the squad and the management, a Wigan display will not happen. That’s not to say that we won’t lose, if we do, then well done to Villa. I for one am looking forward to another trip to Wembley and am loving it (win or lose).
