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

So why does he think Kev and Gundo will work today as opposed to every other time its looked like shite?

He probably remembers some of the hundreds of games we’ve won with those two playing together?

Just a guess.

Class is permanent

Individually....as a duo its like statler and waldorf.

 

[MCFC1993]

He's pretty much picked the best 11 on ability bar Foden.

No idea who is slotting into defence but happy Dias, Laporte and Walker are starting.

 

[Josh_D]

Strange leaving ake out been our most consistent player.

Do you think it’s more of being careful with him? He’ll be absolutely needed for the rest of the season and he’s also had his injury worries. So maybe one or two games, he’ll sit it out.

Him and akanji has started nearly every game since the break. Hell be back for arsenal

 

[Looby blue]

Who's playing left back?

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Fucking hell has someone hacked this account? ;-)

3 points is all that matters today , a performance would be nice to give the lads some confidence . No agendas today .
Come on boys

 

[Bluewars]

Looks like a new formation again, what could go wrong ?

bullshitting around again..for mighty Aston Villa

 

[domalino]

Who's playing left back?

No one

It’s how we play with the ball when we name a left back anyway. Delph Zinchenko and Cancelo have all played in midfield over the years when named at lb.

 

[oakiecokie]

The usual whining fuckers have arrived again ... along with a few newbies
"HOW ARE YOU, YOU RAGS TWATS ??".

 

[super_city_si]

Exactly the same as normal, but our right back doesn’t go into midfield, our centre back does (Rodri).

Much prefer that to the fb

 

[city saint]

Who's playing left back?

Left backs are so overrated he’s decided fuck it were going all out attack on and off the pitch

 

[ninjamonkey]

Get behind the blues whatever team it is.

Not sure why you think I wouldn't, I'm on my way to the ground now. It looks as though he's trying a formation that he's tried only once so far and it was such a disaster that we were penned in by one of the most out of form teams in the league at the time and caused him to abandon it and make 2 subs at halftime to fix it. Natural to not be entirely enthused by seeing it tried again in a game we cannot drop points in.

 

[borassic]

He tried this formation a lot in his first season as far as I can remember, didn’t go very well

 

[LongsightM13]

How much time will Martinez, the biggest cheat in world football, waste today?

Disagreed . Its a tough start with a man down.

Just back from church.
Bacon butties almost ready.
Missus is going to watch with me, that's rare.
COME ON, CITY!
