Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

[AVH87]

----------Guzan----------

Hutton Richards Clark Amavi

-------Gana Sanchez-------
------------Gil------------

Sinclair Ayew Grealish


Would be my 4-3-3 / 4-2-1-3 pick.

Not opposed to Okore over Clark if match fit or maybe chucking Traore in for an out-of-form Grealish.

I'm not sure that Westwood can play after concussed on Tuesday.
Don't professional sportsmen have to wait 7 days?

Yes, but he's only a footballer so it's ok.

On Delph, could we hiss instead of booing? Because, you know, snake.

Don't think much organisation will be needed for this to happen Monty.

A persistent chant of Judas will sound better on the TV!!

Disagree with a couple of things in the team, but how do you do the graphic? I like the graphic.

That's Football Manager. Pesky kids.

For me Ayew has to be up front. Midfield three including Veretout. Gil and Traore just behind and playing either side of Ayew. Kind of like the Christmas tree formation

The Villa version would be like Xmas tree lights. Tangled up all over the place, flickering occasionally and then finally going out.

Well the Sherwood version certainly involved changing every part randomly to try and find out which bit was broken.

the line ups will all be proved wrong when N'zogbia comes running out the tunnel on sunday

[Dr Butler]

Pellegrini speaks :

On the potential inclusion of Fabian Delph against his old side, Pellegrini says: "Delph played for Villa but he’s a professional player and now he plays with us. I know he wants to play on Sunday."

The Chilean is also happy to see the midfielder turn out for his country: “It’s good for Fabian to play for England. He played some minutes in the Champions League & maybe he will play some on Sunday."

I'm looking forward to it Fabian

Brutal battering.

Good name for a heavy metal band.

It's the hissing that I particularly like. Everybody boos, but if we hiss it'll be memorable.

That would be embarrassing.
