Manchester City V Aston Villa pre match thread

[sam-caddick]

Massive boost after tonight and now is the time to grab the opportunity and win these two games.

Palace proved tonight that we cannot take Villa lightly so a professional performance from the lads is an absolute must.

Hopefully Sergio, Yaya and Silva are fit to play because they will be needed to get us over the line.

Better be deleted - he would be in for a quiet bollocking if I were MP

Man up will you.

Be professional would be all I ask - best to keep it under wraps then take it out on the pitch
Just an opinion - nowt to do with "manning up" , whatever the fook that means

It means not being a pussy!

That's not negative enough for you fella.

Good result for City, but we've still got to get 4 points from 6.

Man Utd v Everton 2 seasons ago when they all though they just had to turn up to win it, and tonight prove that you don't take anything for granted.

Get behind the blues all night whatever the circumstances

Lets come out firing, smash Villa and then the same for West Ham.

There is very little pressure on us now, we don't have to try and force anything because we know there is always the free draw to take.

Completely disagree with this to be honest. If the players start thinking the pressure's now off and can play for a draw then we'll start to see problems. There's still a large amount of pressure and that's what you want to keep the concentration levels high. Liverpools result is a positive for us but they are still top by a point. The players should be approaching the Villa and West Ham games in exactly the same mind set.

Start with Jovetic and tell him to fire us to glory! He's fresh, got a lot to prove and it will set him up for next season.

Interesting idea, presumably based on the notion the Kun is not available

Edin is on form ATM and we need to capitalise on this

I also loved the way that MP used Yaya, Fern and Xavi to give us not only options , but effectively a 'Plan B' the other night

Manuel Pellegrini... respect !!

Our boys will need no reminding that we got turned over at Villa Park. They will not take this fixture lightly.

Let's not forget that Villa drew at Anfield, good counter-attacking side, it will be a difficult game, must stay focused.

And lets not forget they beat us at home this season, and at the Etihad not so long ago.

I don't think anyone is taking this for granted.
