City vs Aston Villa Pre Match Thread

[Damocles]

Can someone please explain why he now plays 3 central midfielders when the season is dead, yet all season we have gone with 442 ?
the guy is a plant pot, is he on a wind up

It's because all season he hasn't played 4-4-2 and it's a myth that has come from somewhere.

Correction to teamsheet - Milner IS on the bench, Nasri is not.

So they just didn't bother to change after ctrl+c -> ctrl+v.

Milner on the bench Nasri isn't.

I would rather had milner instead of lampard then

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

would have like to have seen at least one youngster on the bench.

There is zero mobility in that middle.

If Villa decide to go for it, we could have real problems with some of their quicker players running off the back of us.

Should be a nice open game.

Ok. For most of the season he has played 2 central midfielders though hasn't he? normally consist of yaya /dinho with silva and navas infront / wide and then 2 strikers. why now is he playing 1 striker? and lamps yaya and fernadno who to my mind are all central midfielders, unless lamps is upfront, which is strange if edins on the bench.

That's exactly what will happen

Going to be a tough game. If we can maintain a performance like the first half last week for the full game we should get the 3 points. I was impressed with the urgency and quicker attacks last week but it dropped off second half. Villa only 2 points above relegation now so they'll be motivated for this.
