Aston Villa (H) - Sun 22nd May, 16:00 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[PragueBlue]

They can win league with a draw if we lose 0-7 :-) (or 0-6 if its a 6-6 draw!)

Fairly confident even we couldn't manage that ;-)

 

[CC1]

Small time or not, if we win it will happen.

Really hope not because it’s bound to go wrong & we’ll be punished. All clubs have idiotic fans who don’t recognise that there is behaviour in the current times that should not happen.

In response these “fans” try to ridicule those that don’t condone their behaviour by telling us to get a life. If jumping on the pitch in defiance is having a good time - they definitely haven’t done much & lead v dull lives.

There you go - a non invader being patronising:). :).

Wait for the insults

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

We must score early and kill the game.
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
KDB
Bernardo
Foden
Mahrez
Jesus

 

[burning blue soul]

Personally I’d rather see Ake at LB than either Cancelo or Zin. He’s really impressed me when he played in last few months.
Walker/Stones/Laporte/Ake for me.

No way Cancelo doesn't start. Just no way.

 

[omri]

foden bernardo rodri kdb must start.

 

[Elliot houghton]

Really do hope we see something like this
ederson
walker
stones
laporte
cancelo
Rodri
bernardo
KDB
Jesus
Foden
Grealish

 

[Rammy Blue]

Yeah, that’s a possibility but I think Foden is wasted in that role personally.

I agree, I’d prefer Phil out left too. Just I suppose whether Pep wants to play Raz or not, certainly can’t see Mahrez starting tomorrow.

 

[cibaman]

Yeah, the notion that they'd just arbitrarily strip us of a title whilst others went unpunished is a bit paranoid. Wouldn't surprise me though if City ramp up the security significantly ahead of the final whistle tomorrow. In the past they've just let it happen, but in the current climate they probably wouldn't want the adverse publicity it would generate.

I just don’t know what they could realistically do to stop it. It’s the sheer numbers involved that makes it unpreventable. They’d need to have an army of night club bouncers prepared to inflict pain and injury to stop it.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Noit sure if Pep will risk both Stones & Walker but if they are available would go with

EDERSON
WALKER STONES LAPORTE CANCELO
BERNARDO RODRI GUNDO KDB FODEN
JESUS

4-5-1 OR 4-3-3 OR 4-2-4 , no idea that's up to Pep but our front six are always fluid chosen Gundo over Sterling grealish or Mahrez for control of the game , we can bring extra forwards on if its not going to plan.

I think stemming it for just a couple of minutes would take any potential issues out of the invasion.

Allocate stewards to the villa players and get them the fuck off the pitch then there'd be no issues.
