Aston Villa (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Dax777]

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Kev
Gundogan
Foden
Add four more:
One of Rodri/Dihno (Preferably Rodri as Dihno should not play 2ice in a week).
One of Sterling/Bernado ( Probably Sterling as Bernado is more like Foden)
One of Jesus/Ferran (Probably Jesus coz he needs that confidence and game time)
One of (Walker/Zinchencko as I prefer Cancelo to either on their side. So what side we wanna play Cancelo determines who starts.

Do not Start, but bring on if needed: Mahrez.

Okay... I guess Pep was like stop trying to figure me out. :) I see your reasoning... Then I throw in a wrinkle :)


Aight Pep... That's why you are the genius and I post on bluemoon. Points well taken :)

That team is exactly how I would have gone. What can we moan about now?

How long you got ? ;-)

Harsh on Zinc getting dropped for Cancelo, he's been doing well I think. Not sure playing him as LB is the better option, debatable.

Other than that I can't knock the team. Would have preferred Fernandinho but as long as Rodri can learn from him and improve on a few attributes then he will merit the shirt in 'dinho's absence.

Can't argue with Kev n' Gundo supplying Sterling Bernie and Foden.

Good to see FFS dropped btw: )

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The only thing to not like about that team is taking one of our best creators off his best side (Cancelo). Walker was so rusty in the last match but as long as he plays better we’ll be fine. Would have preferred Zinchenko but we certainly have enough to win if we play good.

Bloody brilliant team. No one can blame the selection. It's all on the players now. Who's gunna be the boo boy tonight? I recon Rodri. There'll have to be someone or else the match day thread will not cope :)

I think Rodri will be fine. The pitch will be so slow it will suit him perfectly:)

 

[Blueknows]

Probably find hardly any of their first 11 were positive. They will be fresh and raring to go. Will be a tough game.

Not so sure as they only started training on Monday

Will be interesting to see how Villa perform, usually the rest would be a big help for them but how any infected players have recovered will be something to watch.

 

[pudge]

Annoyingly strong team from Villa

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

It's going to be tough.

Villa have their strongest possible side out after 2 weeks off.

The weather is shite and they'll be bang up for it. Come on City!!

Hopefully it's:

Bernardo in midfield
Sterling on the right
Foden on the left
KDB as a false 9

That gives us width and gets the best out of Bernardo.
