Man C115y vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[Smirker]

Wednesday, 3rd April. Kick-off 20:15.

We're winning.

FTF.

[AV84]

Other than Ollie's fitness being a question, I'd assume we line up much the same as yesterday. (If McGinn is still banned?)

I'd start Digne over Moreno, but I'm guessing Emery won't.

No idea what we do upfront if Ollie can't play. If it was anyone else we were playing I'd nearly give Zaniolo a go.

[Brazilian Villain]

We'll probably lose, but if we then beat Brentford I'll be happy enough.

[Nev]

Ahem, I think you'll find it's Stockport 115....

[Axl Rose]

3-1 loss.

They are ******

[PeterWithesShin]

Them 1 Us 3.

[Drummond]

             Martinez
Konsa Carlos Torres Digne
Bailey Luiz Tielemans Moreno
   Diaby Watkins/Duran

[RamboandBruno]

Our iconic Emery performance to date was against this lot in December. However, I just think with potentially 3 out of 4 of what would be our starting midfield either definitely (McGinn, Kamara) or possibly (Ramsey) out and with a doubt over Watkins, it might be too much to expect anything here. I can see us losing 2-0, but as BV said, if we follow up by beating Brentford that will do.

[AV84]

I'd rather we didn't accept defeat beforehand but if I can also accept defeat for Spurs midweek then I'll allow it.

[Pete3206]

Free hit.

Onto next Saturday.

[Proposition Joe]

Start Duran if Ollie isn't 100%, and start Digne too. Stick with Diaby and Bailey because pace can hurt this lot.

[Legion]

2-0

[eamonn]

Start Duran. He nearly broke the crossbar up there last year when he came on.

[Rigadon]

Play our strongest side possible and have a go.  We cannot write any game off from now on.  The minimum we should be aiming for is a point. 

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Hopefully Rodri will get a red against arsenal and de bruyne will aggrevate something.
