Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

thank f**k   they are under strength  too -         no Silva  no Alguero no Nasri             only joking   

[PaulWinch again]

I think we'll struggle badly as we don't have any attacking outlet really. However come on Villa try and win. We need to Gabby and Benteke back asap.

Well we had to change the formation and although it didn't work last season for us lets see  how it goes today - interesting indeed.

Well, it worked at first - winning away to Liverpool and we looked quite solid that day. Once teams knew what our shape was going to be though, that's when it fell apart.

I'm hoping this is a one off change due to injuries.

The three stooges at the back...who is our cover when one of them invariably gets crocked?

It almost certainly is but I don't think having the flexibility to use different systems depending on the opponent and their tactics is a bad thing.

oh well , I wasnt expected to win this game , so If this is the weakest we will be this season , it might has well be this one....

I agree, hopefully it'll work today.

If we manage to score with that team, I will give everyone on here a hundred quid*.

[VillaAlways]

What a bastard Lambert is. Play injured players man.

He is deliberately throwing home games in the league now.

Sack the man.

Who said that ?

Not with Baker on the pitch. I don't have that kind of money.

[Monty]
