Manchester City V Aston Villa pre match thread

[i8rags]

We should play nearest to net,fill their box and just long balls for a full 90
Villa will crumble eventually. .

No long stuff, total football, run em ragged.

------------------------Hart--------------------------
Zabaleta Kompany Demichelis Kolarov
----------Fernandinho-Garcia------------------
Nasri--------------Toure------------------Silva
---------------------Aguero------------------------

No need for garcia mate and we will almost certainly go 2 up top!

Just don't want us to give them any rest bite. With Garcia there is allows Fernandinho to push on and also give us an option to start again if an attack breaks down.

Biggest game of the season :)
Whatever personnel/tactics, 3 points are an absolute must.

C'mon City, we can do it

If dippers win tonight, how many seconds into the villa game will it be before we start getting restless?

;-)

I'm already palpitating at the prospect.

The Beast should stand down. He did good this season. Maybe cameo appeaeance in the 80th minute but I think we have the right partnership in Sergio and Edin to pull the last two through.

Edin has headers and tap ins in him. Need him for cross plays.

I'd go with this:

------------Hart-------------
Zaba--Kompany--Demi--Kolarov
Milner--Fernandinho-Yaya--Nasri
-----Dzeko--------Jovetic-----

Silva on for Nasri/Milner at some point in the second half.
Negredo on for Dzeko if we're 2 goals up to see if he can get in form before Sunday.
Aguero on (if fit) if we're in the shit at any point.

we can't start with Milner FFS he never plays well against Villa

I'll be honest, I just put 11 City players down because that's what I did in the pre-match thread before Crystal Palace and Everton. I'm doing my bit.
