Aston Villa (H) - Sun 12th Feb, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Do you think we will....or just sot on our hands and shrig our collective shoulders?

I don't think the atmosphere will be as near as intimidating as people are making out.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Lets hope thecteam and manager actually give a shit. I thinkbwe as fans will have to drag themnthrough it. If we are quiet this weekend then they will collective just shrig their shoulders and have the same can't be arsed demeanor

The Sheikh, Khaldoon and their team are going to fight this with all their intelligence and resources......WE MUST DO THE SAME !!

I totally agree

We’ll sort yer shit oot and get yer arse in gear !!

I'm hoping the fact Haaland didn't have a shot nor a touch in the opposition's box is dramatic enough to change how we use him. We'll see on Sunday!

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Expecting the same stupid boring inverted shit with Lewis in midfield

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

Siege mentality required from the top of the club to the tea lady which includes us. Smash the Villa and show them we ain’t going away
CTID

 

[St.Pauli support]

This time no cards will be given for time wasting, kicking ball away 10 times and working Jack's ankles

Seeing as Haaland is always making these runs in anticipation of being fed the ball...

1.
Player receives ball. One-touch control, looks for space ahead and fires the ball into that space first time

2.
Player knows the pass is coming, receives ball and fires it first time into the space ahead

3.
Player receives ball. One-touch control, drives forward looking for space ahead and fires the ball into that space as soon as


This applies to all the players - defenders, midfielders, widemen. They are all technically gifted enough to apply any of the above. Some of our players are world class with control of the ball in tight spaces (Rodri, Bernardo, Mahrez), they need to be more direct with forward thinking passing, max. 2sec timeframe I reckon.

The season already feels over tbh

Ah, the lettuce again.

 

[BrianW]

I'm not deflated. Shit like this brings out the defiant bastard in me. Fuck 'em, and fuck the horse they rode in on.

It just boils down to intensity, if we play with that and pace in attack then we'll be fine. It's the slowing down of everything which has made it dull.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

If there has been a bit of falling out in the dressing room. Then these PL charges can be a godsend for us on the pitch. Nothing should get the lads more bonded together than this shit. City against the world. Fuck em all.

 

[simon23]

The atmosphere needs to be nasty, feral even...aimed at anything and anyone non city. Right from the off and Right to the end....Pep needs to stir it up...the only ones with cool heads should be the players. Absolutely batter them.. no mercy. No easing up if we are ahead...

Same for every game
