Manchester City V Aston Villa pre match thread

[@BluePhil8]

If Dzeko is up top with Yaya in behind then Kolarov MUST start. Dzeko thrives of Kolarov's low crosses. They clearly have a good understanding.

DZEKO YOU DONKEY. JUST 2 HOURS TO KICKOFF AND YOU STILL HAVENT SCORED.

Does anyone know how many games Sergio has missed this season???

According to the OS, he's played 26 times in the league this season;

That seems high to me, but it must be true.

Sky, ESPN, and WhoScored have 19 starts and 3 subs.

Premier League has 22 starts and 3 subs.

Statistical sources are often like economists: put 10 of us in a room and you'll get 38 opinions.

He probably came off early injured in a few of those games as well.

I don't want to sound horrible to Villa but I don't see them turning up tonight.

I think for the first time in 6 years we might just have an easy game instead of stressing like mad.

historically villa always lose at our place , same with west ham , they are not bogey teams like sunderland or everton , a couple of early goals would be nice ,then i wont have to revert to the hip flask to get me through the match.

Yeah we couldn't have asked for a better 2 games.

Newcastle always seem to get beat by us as well.

Nerves are kicking in, starting to exercise my arms in an up and down motion. :-)
