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

[kupest]

Bony was the only one who came out of the Pool game with any credit. Willing to give him a chance today.

 

[Mr HJ]

Much as I don't like him, you would think with paying two up top against a side that is frankly shit and who shouldn't give us any problems defensively, that Kolorov would have been selected rather than Clichy. He plays him when there is no one to smash his crosses into but overlooks him when we do.

Personally I would have made a couple more changes today to freshen things up a bit.

No the only good call by Manuel is keeping Kolarov on the bench - anyway leaving late for the game, hope traffic is not too bad.

Off topic Spurs arse 2.2 now

 

[Phil1]

He's not going to get his form back sitting on the bench to be fair. Bony over nacho is mind boggling though

He needs a rest. Today was a perfect chance to get that playing against the worse team in the country. I take your point and want nothing more than to see him get back to his best but on this occasion I'd have given him the day off.

Arsenal just equalised

 

[Hungarian blue]

Thank fuck we go with 2 real strikers upfront as it seems like they play with 3CBs, and with quite shit CBs, frankly.

But yeah, having Bony instead of Kelechi baffles me.

 

[razman]

Hugo lloris gets way too much praise here and else where.. Makes basic errors

 

[Silva_Spell]

Typical MP. Big money player over the younger one who has actually done the business

 

[Glenn Ponder]

When did the pre match thread get as bad as the match thread?!

When did the pre match thread get as bad as the match thread?!

When our manager starting picking the team.
