Aston Villa vs Manchester City Match Thread.

4 2 3 1 ?? I have no idea really, bit like Steven G.

4 5 1 Ramsey Bailey out wide

[Small Rodent]

What’s the lineups?

[Nelly]

Ramsey in at the number ten position, his preferred position for once? Big ask today though. I would have preferred Buendia there but lets see. If it works then fantastic.

[Axl Rose]

[clash city rocker]

He has already got  the Lambert stubble.

He has got the lambert stubble
If he has the lambert bubble
By fuck we are in trouble

[Toronto Villa]

Steven Gerrard’s last few moments as Villa manager are going to be very painful for us.

[Somniloquism]

BBC seem to think it is 4-3-1-2

With Ramsey supporting Cash, McGinn supporting Digne and Luiz just behind the front 2 of Watkins and Bailey. I suppose it is as good a guess as any.

I see Greasy is on the bench. Subbed on after the 5th or 6th so we have respite?

Solid as fuck in the middle of midfield.  Man City, that is.

Early goal, game over.  Hope for the best, fully expect the worst.  Zero creativity in the Villa side.  How much have we spent over the years?

[Legion]

Fair play to Olsen. Came over at the end of the warm-up to sign loads of autographs for the kids at the front.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Nah, we'll beat them, 3-2 Villa Ollie (2), Konsa

Love the optimism, fella.

I'm drinking a Portuguese red, so hopefully that'll ease the pain of Haaland's 45 second opener.

Good choice. Douro?

I’m on a Terrases Du Larzac Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvèdre bottle from 2015. I feel no pain anymore… just the desire to have another glass

Yeah, I think its still the 4-3-3 just the #10 spot dropping further into midfield. Need some Bailey magic today.

[Chris_Jephcott]

I can actually see Bailey scoring today.

[Villa Lew]

Pep's worried, just seen his interview.

[Bad English]

Ah cheers! Whoever started the thread didn't do their job.
