Aston Villa getting utterly obliterated vs Manchester City Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

[Jon Crofts]

Christ almighty.

I wonder what scoreline we are aiming for with that selection. 

[PaulWinch again]

Yikes.

[Somniloquism]

Surprised he has thrown in someone who has barely played this season. Although I suppose that accusation could be levelled at most of the others who we have put there as well.

Elmo for defence.  This is going to be 90-10 possession in their favour.

That’s a proper Bruce line up

The blokes lost his head

Good Lord. Elmo and Taylor up against Mahrez and Silva.

To be honest, this is better than the open 4-3-3 we were playing regardless of the opponent. Teams were walking through us. A bit of pragmatism here.

[dicedlam]

On the plus side, they have rested Sterling.

[AsTallAsLions]

Jesus wept. That's parking the bus, anyhow.

Forza app has it as a 3-5-1-1 formation. If we don't hold out early on and concede an early goal we're getting sautéed.

[Demitri_C]

Lambs to the slaughter. This is going to be a horrible sunday. Just no attacking output whatsover.
4-0

[Small Rodent]

I thought Guilbert would have started.

It’s everything we were told Smith wasn’t
