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

[Rhapsody in Blue]

I just hope Fern doesn’t play too aggressively or with too much pressure so that he gets ran away from like against Real and West Ham. He can get away with it as a DM but not as our last outfield player.

 

[Semper aggressus]

What’s our win percentage with Fernandinho at centre back?

Shitting it even more now.

COME ON CITY!!!! WIN AT ANY COST.

 

[mosssideblue]

pack it in pal, you have no fucking idea what's going on.
This team is more than good enough to win this game.

Well said. Some right embarrassing comments in here

 

[Keeper!]

Come on boys, clean sheet and a professional 90 mins and it's our title

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Let's be honest blues; win or lose City will still be here tomorrow and you can sure as hell be sure I'll be there supporting them.
That said, lets just win the fucking thing!

CTID

Time to say goodbye to blue moon, too much negativity. C u on the other side.
Come on city

In hades?

 

[Chris B]

Has Pep gone the sentimental route with our captain? Seems strange that Ake has been fit enough to make the bench for the last 3 games but doesn't get a start ahead of a makeshift centre half in Fernandinho. Or as has been said playing Stones in his more natural position and bring in Zinchenko with Cancelo shifting to right back.

I’m thinking it’ll be Fern at right back. Zin hasn’t been rock solid lately either. Cancelo at left back is a weapon going forwards. Pep knows what he is doing!

 

[SWP's back]

With no Martinez in goal, Villa will struggle. 4-2 is my prediction.

Surprised you think we will manage to score 2.

 

[Kamaro011]

City should win with this kind lineup, if we lose then we don't deserve the title at all.

I'm 56 it don't get any easier with age mate sorry to say lol

Same. 56 and feeling it. Nerves that is. Made worse by screwing up the cup and the CL. It would be a fucking hammer blow to end with feck all and see them twats win.
