You have to embrace games like Sunday , this is a totally different team and mindset from Mancini's team when we got out of jail against relegation fodder , Pep will have a full week to prepare , Slippy G will still be licking their wounds from a good kicking from Burnley on Thursday.
Villa will set up like every other team that comes to the Etihad , parking the bus and defending for their lives , an early breakthrough will settle our nerves but our makeshift defence has looked vulnerable
If we had Walker and Dias in defence i wouldnt have any worries at all if we take an early lead but if we have Dinho and Zinchenko again on Sunday we need at least two or three goals to calm the nerves.
Really hope Mahrez gets his chance to redeem himself and scores a couple of worldies , because he doesnt deserve the shite he will recieve if we dont beat Villa.
