Aston Villa vs. Man City Match Thread

Can't dispute that line up can we.

Traore and Kozak must be not impressing in training. I reckon Garde will be good for Grealish and Traore in the longer term though, so not too worried about that - looking at his record with young players at Lyon their time will come.

NZogbia often reacts for a new manager, so will be interesting.

Agree it's probably our strongest side. But the bench is not inspiring. Why no Okore, Kozak, Traore, or ILori?

I know it's a novelty, but perhaps it's because the manager hasn't seen enough from them in training this week and has made an alternative plan based on the players who have performed well.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Like it. He's certainly got the midfield right. Hope he's playing Sinclair in the middle rather than out wide.

Because they have about ten minutes game time between them.

Good selection, team looks a lot more balanced.
Can't see us keeping De Bruyne, Bony and Sterling quiet though.
2-2 with Gil the star

I am in a bar in Perpignan where the egg-chasing lovers have agreed to put the game on. Get in ! Allez les Lions !

[Boz]

I hope this team performs, even if we lose as expected,just to show Sherwood that the French players are capable of playing at this level. Good luck Remi.

I see Sherwood is a favourite for QPR, so he should be able to keep them spiralling down,

Our current best 11 players on the pitch, in their best positions? What madness is this?

I know. I can't quite get my head around this!

[Quiet Lion]

I don't expect wonders today, and even a point is probably too much to ask for. But I would love to see just a slight hint that we know what we are doing and that green shouts are on the way.

[Clark W Griswold]

Is Westwood injured. Not that i'm complaining if not, like.

[Smirker]

It's going to be a good day.

Fuck the fuckers.

[Dave]

I expect a spirited defeat and every pundit to use it as conclusive proof that Sherwood was right and that all our signings were just as shit as he and they thought they were.

[chrisf]

Is that wanker playing for them?

Gabby and Westwood probably injured, recovering from concussion, so I wouldn't hail Remi as ruthless at clearing the dross just yet.
