We are awful at the moment truly awful.   Cannot defend and not putting away the few chances we create.   However,  they have bigger fish to fry with finishing 4th.    If and it's a big if,  GH picks the right team and plays them in their best positions, then we can win this.

He won't of course.

Gotta love internet drama queens.  1 defeat in 8 games isn't "truly awful", it's not even "pretty awful" in fact it's not any kind of awful. It's decent, average, Ok, not bad.

We're 8th in the current form table, that means that there are 12 sides in the division who are at present worse that "truly awful".

Despite our recent little run,  the last two games have been awful,  which for me is at the moment.  In fact for most of the season bar maybe 4 games we have been mostly awful.

'Awful' is a bit over the top to describe games neither of which we lost, and one of which we had to play away from home for 20-odd minutes with ten men.

So bad we've lost once in eight games.

We've also only won twice in 10 league games.  We haven't been as woeful as we were before Christmas, but any improvment hasn't exactly been miraculous.  We're still only three points above the drop zone.

To my mind our performances against Man City and Liverpool away were awful, the last 2 have been average where we've had good and bad periods in both games and should have won them.

Away to Blackpool who hadn't won a game for ages.    Given the players we have -  we should have walked that game.

No denying that Blackpool had lost their previous 5 games whilst letting in 16 goals.

If we turn up at Eastlands and give it a go, we can win. Form doesn't matter.

A lot of teams should have 'walked' games this season. Including Manchester City at Villa Park.

As per my previous post if by "give it a go" means GH picks the right team etc - I reckon we can win. UTV

It's a one off cup tie where anything can happen. As long as the formation is right then we have as much chance as they do. I just hope we give it a good go.

Really?  I think not.  I'd suggest that a career as a bookmaker probably isn't the best option for you.

LAWRO'S VERDICT

Man City v Villa 6th round, Wed 2 March.

Man City have spent a lot of money since their Nigerian takeover, Tevez is a good player and Sven has got them playing good football, they're always capable of a goal. Man City score quite a few and they win lot's of games as well.
Villa have impressed me lately, signing David Bent was a shock but Martin O'Neill knows what he's doing.
I'm divorced and my Wife won't speak to me, she's threatened to get a court injunction If I keep calling her at 3a.m. I'm so lonely and i'm full of self loathing. My Phil Collins Face Value CD is working overtime.
Is it wrong for a grown man to keep bursting into tears?

VERDICT 3-1

We need to get service to Bent .........

The only service he'll be getting on the night is room service

I am plumping for a Villa win after a replay we were lucky to get.
