Manchester City vs Aston Villa match thread

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking hell. We are the only club to continuously put two keepers on the bench. It’s utterly fucking useless in a 5 sub system. Can someone in the media not ask him about this?

Yup, it means there's no room for...oh.

As you were.

I would be delighted to see Rory Wilson or Brad Young, Kayden Young on the bench or some other kid from the academy before another keeper

[JUAN PABLO]

So if Watkins gets injured we can at least bring Archer on 🤔

There are still 5 senior players on the bench that we can use but injuries are presumably robbing us of the remainder.

[Axl Rose]

As it's a 1:30am kick off here, I have the luxury of falling asleep and missing the entire match.

So down to two fit centre halves? This could be painful, hope I’m wrong and we pull a surprise out of the bag.

And only 8 in total instead of the allowed 9

[PaulWinch again]

No back up striker.

[Brazilian Villain]

Winning today with that defence will be right up there with turning water into wine

Yes, could be a long afternoon.

A ridiculous approach to the transfer window is seen in all its glory.

[Zouch Villa]

Back four has no pace, powder puff midfield, and we’re playing Bailey.  Not much to get too optimistic about.

[Mister E]

Amazed that McGinn isn't starting instead of Bailey ...

[Footy-Vill]

I wonder if my forecast will finally ring true that Kamara will play as a centre back and join Konsa and Chambers in defence today without the ball
Rhordi is playing in defence for them

Definitely can exploit them in midfield and theres a good opportunity for things here if the players do Emery instructions

I'd say that's because Chambers was supposed to be on the bench until Tyrone withdrew.

I wonder is there a virus in the camp

I wonder is there a virus in the camp

Lambertitis?
