don't think Gerrard has come even remotely close enough as a Premier League-caliber manager to think he's earned tossing off a game just because he played for them for 15 years. Villa players or Villa fans don't give a fuck about helping Liverpool.

Gerrard has an ego the size of the moon. No chance that he would risk harming his reputation to help Liverpool out.

Huge one coming up.

That back line gives me the willies. I'd rather have one of the academy lads in there and play with a double pivot in front of them.

Could we utilise Taylor Harwood-Bellis as he is back from his loan spell?

I think that would be a great option,if possible.

I doubt Pep would think similar.

It's tough, but I'd rather play this line than rush Aké back in. If he's not 100% and we fuck up his injury it'll leave us with only Laporte fit for the remainder of the season.

 

[MerlinsBeard]

Ake first choice obviously. Apart from getting caught out by pace, Fernandinho has played some of his best football these past few weeks so hopefully he'll do the job.

And think Pep would choose Rodri over youth. I would too at this point of the season.

 

[mancityscot]

tough finish to the season now considering 3 of our first choice back 4 are all out.

Just got to hope we control the games and keep scoring 3/4 goals, as i dont fancy us to keep clean sheets against wolves and west ham.

That alternative sounds much riskier, Rodri and Fernandinho together you mean? I'd fear the worst if Pep starts changing formation to fix the problem

I would have dinho in the middle , safer ground for fouling if someone is faster than him, rodders at the back
