Aston Villa v Man City League Cup Final Pre Match Thread

[Risso]

"Several have played their way out of the team"

Actually be interested what he does after that comment. I have a feeling Hourihane will start but surely we can't just go in with two CMs. Drinkwater is thankfully cup tied. Surely not a start for Lansbury....

Think we might also be seeing AEM on the right of midfield. Don't think that will be the worst call in the world and he can get some good crosses into the box.

Beyond that call the samaritans.

Hopefully he’s mismanaged himself out of a job.

Loads of trouble amongst our lot today.

They'd better get a double digit scoreboard ready for next week.

[Nastylee]

Really hard to get excited about this, which kind of sums up the feeling at the moment.

[Tuscans]

Isn't record 6 nil by Bury and Man City? 7 Sunday then?

I don’t think we’ll get that many, even if Otamendi is a bit suspect.

[Demitri_C]

Another 6-1 hammering if we play as bad as that. Worrying we ard seeing this kind of performance more regularly.

I think smiths stuck and he doeant know what to do or get the best out of them.

At least I won’t have too long a delay getting out the car park at full time

I want you to say something I violently disagree with, so I can use my niche Russian history joke - ‘False, Demitri.’

I hope not. Then if they score again after they've gone nine-nil up, they go back to zero.

Go to Google Maps.

Type empty seats.

Hit search.

? Doesn’t work for me.

[Aldridge Villa]

How to gee up before next week? Me, not the team.

Optimistic to think we will score next week.

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking hell what a way to go into a cup final. And add to that a manager who has said publicly he couldn’t give a fuck. Optimism? Not much at all.
