Aston Villa (H) - Tue 22nd April, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

It’s clear pep has a feel for his best eleven as there’s a reasonable amount of consistency now over the past few weeks.

Is the right answer. KDB still gets in our best eleven, the question of whether he should get another contract at his age and on the money he makes is another matter altogether.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Interesting lineup

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm City win we are closer to champions league football,a loss makes it even more interesting especially for the viewing public on sky and tnt so I’ll say we’ll get stitched up tonight..

 

[Damien10]

According to Kevin was was Txiki and Ferran’s decision

But why now is Pep now deciding he should be starting every game. After refusing to use him for months. I just find it so odd.

It’s like it’s being done for sentimental reasons. And we are not in a position to be sentimental.

I can’t wait for the fucking season to end in just hoping it ends with champions league football.

Thought this was being treated as a cup final ffs Silva Gundogen and Kev all in the starting line up

Only good I take from this is they won’t be starting at Wembley

Who?

 

[Blue tiger]

Not too sure about the line up, but I can't be arsed moaning about it. Let's hope for the best. Come on City!

Exactly how I feel. Don't like the line up, but it is the line up. Nowt we can do, but back um now.

Most tame response I've seen. Positive or otherwise.

 

[DMA's]

Well I can see pep wants to stifle villa and keep the ball at all costs. Very uninspiring team. Not what I would have gone with but let’s hope it’s enough

Do you honestly believe Pep considers sentiment when picking his starting 11?

It means, as always with Pep, "What are you doing this time!?"

 

[Damien10]

Yeah I do.

That’s why Gundo plays every 3 days when he looks like he can’t even run. Same reason.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Not sure if the nerves will stand up to watching the game. I see Jack Reacher is on at 8, Interstellar as well. Decisions, decisions.

Jack reacher wins, it’s Mathew McConahey in the bookcase, now watch the match you fanny.

 

[super_city_si]

Got to think rashford will score.

KDB himself said he's feeling better and not in pain for the first time in a long time so mabe that has something to do with it ?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Oh Kun. X

Because he had a hernia and is now fit

Oh come on mate, what a coincidence.

Announce he’s going then bang just like that he’s fit to start every game.
