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

[jayblue]

A reappearance of the flat track bullies today. Disappearing back into a shell near us soon.

Hope the Mangler starts - had enough of Otamendi charging out of position, making mistakes and spending more time on his arse.

Suspect it will be 442 today, always the Pellegrini go to formation.

It'll be some variation of 442 and as for the mangler he prone to mistakes aswell

 

[Motty25]

What I think we'll play:

Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Toure, Navas, Silva, Sterling, Aguero

What I would do:

Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov, Navas, Toure, Fernandinho, Celina, Bony, Kelechi
Subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Kompany, Fernando, Silva, Sterling, Aguero

Mangala needs minutes and today would be a perfect time for that. Sterling, Fernando and Aguero could probably do with a rest as well.

No three points are ever guaranteed, but we've proved to be very good flat track bullies this season and I think we'll see that again today. Prediction 4-0.

Exactly. In which match has Blue Ranger not seen Mangala charge out of position?

Look, if we don't win this one, we should be relegated instaed of Villa!

 

[Viridian]

Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Kolarov, Yaya, Fernandinho, A. Garcia, Navas, Sterling, Aguero

Caballero, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Silva, Kelechi/ Bony.

Has anyone contemplated defeat for us today, or are we not there yet?

I know, and we should be bunging 4 or 5 past them today.......however we are City.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

arsenal just gone 1-0 up.......I think a draw there would help us today...
