Aston Villa on Saturday - Pre Match thread.....

[FantasyIreland]

Sinclair hattrick, Lescott adds another and Richards bangs one in from 40 yards in the dying seconds.

Is Given still there? He might get one too.

If we play Kolarov,as Villa manager,id be tempted to give Dwight Yorke a call

I laughed but probably only because its true
What the **** does this mug have them doing besides piggy in the middle and jogging round a few cones chewing their fuc*ing pathetic snoods they wear round their neck
Watch those Guardiola videos of him coaching real sessions and genuinely drilling in a style and system of play, real match situations etc
I swear MP gives them the easy road, Ive never seen the guy with his hands out of his pockets at training on a friday especially.. hes stood there wondering who we are playing the next day
He's not made one single player better since hes arrived and how can he when the CFA looks dead. No atmosphere or intensity in that place despite the millions spent

Our players are in for a huge shock in the summer. No more lazy training regimes, they will be told to earn there wages. I'm dieing to seeing some graft and fight from our players, I'll have to wait till next season.

We'll go 4-4-2 on Saturday and we'll beat Villa comfortably. We haven't lost to a team in the current bottom 12 of the league. conversely, we haven't beaten a team in the current top 8. I wouldn't be surprised if that stat remained intact come the end of the season. We are yet to play 7 of the bottom 12 although one of those is Chelsea away and 4 games left against the top 8. if we maintain that stat, we're looking at around the high 60's low 70's points mark with a couple of draws thrown in. Will that be enough for top 4? I think it will come down to how many points the chasing pack drop.

Now another of our brilliant away efforts this season.

5-4-4 scored 13 conceded 14.

This attacking football that MP preaches really does the trick in ensuring we score bugger all.

We did. Its 3 points out of 33 against the top 8 rather than 2! 50% increase....

Need some confidence back and after a hammering what more can u ask for?

Villa at home? Yes please. (We can't lose can we?)

Hart

Sagan Kompany Mangala Clichy

Navas Fernandinho Yaya Sterling

Aguero Kelichi

4-4-2 for me we seem to be more of a threat. I'd give Silva the week off he still looks unfit to me. Sagna back in for Zaba he also looks unfit. If we don't win this game I'll be truly amazed Villa are possibly the worst Prem side I've ever seen. Going for a convincing 4/5-0

I'd go that team but there is no way Pellegrini will start Kelechi ahead of Bony. Doesnt matter that Aguero and Kelechi have struck a good understanding and play well together, Bony cost more and is older so will play.

Ye mate he probably will.

Since we beat Villa in the cup, we've picked up the same amount of points as Villa albeit they have played a game more.

Always have fond memories of the Villa when I was at Poly in 79-82. Used to watch them when I couldn't get back to Maine Road. Cowans, Morley, Withe and Shaw etc, the latter being one of the best strikers I ever saw.
