Aston Villa v Manchester City Pre-Match Thread

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

That would be embarrassing.

Embarassssssssssssssing?

[Smirker]

Brutal battering.

Good name for a heavy metal band.

I liked their first album, 'Tear Us A New Arsehole'

Urban myth that might be true.
Metallica's first album, Kill 'em All was originally to be called Metal Up Your Arse until the record company intervened.

Yes, the graphic makes it look like you know what you're doing.

even if that team selection suggests otherwise

[avfcdale]

This is how we win. This and prayer.

Swap Gestede with Ayew, and then with Grealish and you're cooking on gas.

No perfect except need Kozak in for Gestete use him when Kozak is blowing out of his arse

Switch Ayew for Gestede, and bring Veretout in to solidify midfield and allow Gana to roam a little

Might be worth a thread but I thought it was interesting that Pelligrini said Villa wanted to sell Delph today.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

--------------------------Guzan------------------------------
--Hutton---------Okore----------Clark------------Amavi--

-------------------Gana--------------Sanchez----------------

---------------------------Veretout----------------------------

---------------------Gil-------------Ayew--------------------
----------------------------Kozak---------------------------

Assuming Okore and Kozak are fit and looking sharp in training.

Probably just trying to ease the pressure on Delph and onto Villa.

[Smirker]

Yeah pretty much my take on it as well.

this

gestede should be nowhere near the first team

I see Pellegrini wants us to give Delph a warm welcome on his return to Villa Park......of course we will....

[adrenachrome]

An interesting article on the Sky Sports site favourably comparing Gueye with Delph using statistics.

Are Aston Villa missing Fabian Delph? Stats suggest they have bigger problems

That confirms what I thought - when Sherwood whinged about Delph not being replaced he was spouting a fountain of bullshit, as usual.
