Aston Villa vs Manchester City Match Thread.

[PaulWinch again]

Can’t quite work the team out. Don’t be dreadful Villa.

[bilsim]

For some reason, I really don't fancy us today

[villa_cads]

I think it's 433, Ramsey and Bailey either side of Watkins

[gpbarr]

McGinn, Konza again. Laughable and clueless

[Axl Rose]

Victory please, Villa.

I see the Gucci tosspiece is on the bench for them. Hopefully someone will throw a mini tomato at him. A cabbage certainly shouldn't be wasted.

That would be very weird.

[Nev]

Same old rubbish.

Watch a decent coach get a tune out of the same team in a few weeks time.

Hopefully.

McGinn, Konza again. Laughable and clueless

Need a massive performance from those two. Been crap for ages. Konsa's drop in form has been really surprising. McGinn hasn't played well for years, it seems.

[Beard82]

Hopefully we are at least competitive - think otherwise we could get a bit toxic.

Think hes safe - but he is making it really difficult week for himself next week if we get hammered

[PaulWinch again]

If Konsa isn’t massively better than he has been of late he’ll get battered by Haaland.

Maybe Cash and Digne are going to play as actual full backs? Maybe we're going to continue as we were with Ramsey wide left of the front 3?
How to solve the problem of Coutinho and Buendia? Play neither!
A novel approach whilst leaving the guy completely off form in the starting 11!
Come on Villa players, surprise me today!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

4-5-1 today with Coutinho and Emi B benched.

4222? Double pivot of Kamara and Dougie, with a pair of 8s and Bailey up top with Watkins?

Not that it matters.

[PaulWinch again]

If we’re too negative it plays into their hands.

In effect 451 out of posession (so a good 80% of the game), 4231 in possession with McGinn as No. 10. But who knows.
