Aston Villa V Man City pre match thread.

[Marvin]

If Yaya starts we are in trouble

Thought he has been better in recent games. Certainly made an effort last night only his end product was poor.

he will come good again

----------------------Hart
Zabaleta---Mangala--Kompany--Kolarov
----------Fernandinho--Yaya
---------------Silva----Milner
------------Dzeko--Aguero

I'd play Fernando if he's fit.

Sagna may come into consideration, but he has been poor when I've seen him

wouldnt even have yaya in the squad for this one , cant afford to carry players , villa our an energetic young side , so we will have to match this , hope fernando is available , would play HART - ZABS , KOMPANY , MANGALA , KOLAROV - MILNER , FERNANDO , DINHO , JOVETIC , SILVA - DZEKO , Let jovetic play deeper along with silva to create openings , sergio on for the last 30 minutes , chelsea have some tough games coming up, so we need to close the gap , and put a brake on the chlesea media wankfest

Sitting in the home end with a Villa fan, going to be a bit surreal.

We need a performance so I'm hoping for a decent show from our lads. Milner has been brilliant this season, and rightly deserves to start.

0-3

Playing with 1 striker up front doesn't have to mean you are being negative, Keep Aguero on the bench for games such as Villa away etc and start him against the better teams, I'd rather he picked up an injury in a game that was meaningful than in a game we can win without him. 4-2-3-1, Hart, Zabba, Manga, Kompany, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Fernando, Silva, Milner, Yaya, Dzeko or Jovetic.

 

[BigOscar]

Build the team around our best player, Silva. Give him runners to pass to, give him the ball and take the defending away from him and let him create chances.


Hart
Zabaleta-Kompany-Mangala-Kolarov
Fernando-Fernandinho
Navas-Silva-Milner
Aguero

Obviously this will never happen.

Give sergio a rest and allow jojo and edin to terrorise villas defence! Thought yaya was ok last night, just his final ball was awful! Still a major player for me.

Agree with this - build the team around Silva behind Aguero.

I'd have Milner on the right and start Jovetic on the left, but totally agree with the rest.
