Official Aston Villa v City Match Thread

Not putting Stevie straight back in also sends out the right message. If you come in and do a job, you get to keep the shirt. That's the way it should be - no favourites. The players know if they don't perform they will be out of the side double quick.

Just looking at the line-up and it hit me; we still have Robinho coming back from injury. Christ, what a team!

And Vinny.

We really have got a team full of great players. Its great that not one player can go through a dip and be guaranteed a start, Superman can be forgiven for his hard work, but its great to see Micah benched until he gets his position into perspective. I cant remember the last time we have been able to bench such players as we have options just as good as cover.

Oh boy, I forgot Vinny! Come to think of it, I forgot Benjani as well. ;) Personally I would like to see Superman start tonight, but I understand why he has been left out, and I have no idea who he should have replaced.
 
How's Barry's reception been? He was there best player for yrs, surely not a bad one?!
 
Barry was booed on arrival at the stadium and when doing pre match warm ups.

Quote from BBC

"Gareth Barry's name gets a mixed reception when it is read out at Villa Park. Predominantly jeering, but there is some appreciative applause. There is also a banner reading "Thank You Barry - We Miss You". No such problems for Aston Villa new boy Richard Dunne as he faces former club City for the first time since his move. Great reception from the travelling fans."
