Man C115y vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[RamboandBruno]

I thought Rogers did a couple of really exciting runs in the first half yesterday, but if Ramsey is still out, I’d be tempted to start Zaniola here, he’s had two really good appearances from the bench in the last two games.

                                  Martinez
Konsa.            Carlos.          Torres.        Digne

             Tielemans.       Luiz.          Zaniola

Bailey.                  Watkins/Duran.       Diaby

Could we loan Jack back for this game? Could be a good move for all concerned.

“We play Aston Villa at 20:15, then 12:30 vs Crystal Palace Saturday, 12:30! After we go to Madrid on Tuesday.”

For all his genius, Pep and his masters have yet to find a way to cheat their way out of actually having to play the games.

Free hit.

Onto next Saturday.

Wash your mouth out. For a club like the Villa there are NO free hits, we play to win every match.

Well we will probably lose as they didnt have grealish rodri or KDB at VP. But its a free hit. We need to keep score down though as GD could be vital come end of season

Keep the score down? What's the matter with you? We've beaten them once.

Has anyone received their e-tickets for this yet. Still nothing here and game is Wednesday

I don’t want that xxxxx anywhere near this team.

[Smirker]

I don't understand why people keep saying this game is a free hit. It isn't. Every team plays 38 games and this is one of them. It's an opportunity to get three points.

If it were the 39th game and only we played it then yes it'd be a free hit.

But that isn't the case.

I hope the players and staff don't have the same outlook.

[ChicagoLion]

Emery will try and win this with half an eye on Saturday.
The outcome of this afternoon’s game will have a bearing on how this goes.

[Allan C]

I’m thinking an optimistic 1-1, however way you look at it, it’ll be tough

They won't. And with so few games left, and Spurs still with a game in hand, there are no free hits.

No.
And asking around yesterday no one else had either.
I am a little puzzled why they do this.

We're in a far,far better place and I just don't think we need him anymore.

Same here. I think I'd give up on football.

I hope the away fans give him dogs abuse.
