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

[Xhavenjoe]

I still think we will finish 3rd if we are beat tonight

Would be difficult to overhaul all 3 of villa, forest and Newcastle who would then be above us in the table

 

[Blue-Ghana]

If Pep starts with the same lineup as Everton, we will lose by 3 or 4 goals

 

[Franny 1234]

Pep please
On behalf of all City fans please play Gvardiol in the left sided CB position.
No need to put square pegs in round holes.
Come City CTID

 

[blue is best]

Just passed the boundary pub in Ashton on the way to get the tram, villa supporters coach in the car park.

We definitely need to avoid losing - it's a home game and we don't want to be down mentally after losing at home going into the semi-final at weekend.

Its a must win Keep the faith

Brummie really is second only to scouse as the most vile noise to ever emerge from a human.

It’s got that same screechy slur that makes everyone one of them sound like they’ve got some kind of birth defect or mental disability.

Shhhh the Blazing squad will be on the way....well so.long as there are only five Villa fans in there.

Probably our most important game of the season. They did us for pace, energy and commitment at their place. We need to have plenty of those three tonight. I'd play three at the back with Khusanov back in there for his pace. Nunes and O'Reilly can both cross a ball so I would play them as wing backs. so somehing like
Ortega
Khusanov Dias Gvardiol
Nunes KDB Gundo Nico1 Nico2
Marmoush Doku

I like that. Definitely need support in MF to slow down the play when they break…and they will, often.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’d take an unconvincing 3-0 win now.

I thought they might have had a hangover after losing to PSG but they absolutely battered Newcastle. I think atm they just have too.much pace and firepower for us but you never know.

 

[Blue Maverick]

If we score more than them I think we might win

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Won't be easy but I expect a win, and a nice bit of momentum for the semi-final.

Marmoush to shine.

Tbf so did we…..

Brummies hate this one simple trick

 

[paulchapo]

Tbf so did we…..

We did but I think they had one eye on the league cup final.

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.

Obviously still hung over from celebrating Leeds returning to the top flight………

 

[B\connellblue]

Citys odds have lengthened considerably in the last hour or so. Someone must be out you would imagine for that to happen.
