Yep, 3 pts is a must......could say that about every game here on in ha

Been like that for the past half dozen games

Strange guy Pep, defends Haaland to the hilt and then drops rests him a few hours later lol

If his manager had been Ferguson he would probably had boot or two throw at him by now.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Seeing the two teams makes it look like a Carabao Cup tie.

 

[malg]

You get funnier by the game

Thanks.

 

[heslops barnet]

Got a feeling Pep will play Alvarez away to Real Madrid.

I don't think he fully trusts Erling right now

Does anyone?

 

[bluealf]

I don't dislike that team bar Doku on the right.

RIP Phil

He really should have been in that band "Dead or Alive"

I have left my wallet at home.
Pissed off with the kick off time.
My tea had too many bastard carrots in it.
I’m in a bad mood in general since Sunday.

You better be on it tonight Blues cos if you’re not that’s me done.
















Well until the next game - that’ll teach them!

Dare I say that most teams prepare to nullify Haaland (and De Bruyne, when fit) as that is usually our most likely productive outlet....so neither starting may go against what Villa have prepared for.....or we might just be crap again, and they win anyway! ;)

What for?

Do you forget that Cole had a 1 in 7 finishing rate?

Haaland's strength is his pace to get on the end of a through ball, something we seemingly refuse to do.

Pep sending out a message.

Get this game wrapped up early.

If we're 3-0 up and pissing it by half time the usual morons downstairs will be kicking off at us killing the second half stone dead rather than appreciate the game management.

Disappointing that Haaland isn’t starting. Gives Villa a boost before we even kick off knowing the best striker on the planet is dropped.

Hopefully he’ll come on and administer an absolute beasting to Villa.

Seems every game this season we don’t play to his strengths

He's been replaced by a man who won football last year. Can't be all bad .

 

[Sale Moor Blue]

It’s a team that says to me we are micro managing every game now we are well into the business end of the season. Each game we play over the next month or so will see changes in personnel and formations.
Some of it forced through injury but mostly trying to keep players as fit and fresh as possible.

But It's Villa a decent side.

Today team will ensure that match day thread will be on fire if it not working out within the first ten minutes of the match
