Man City vs Aston Villa Match thread

Hopefully Mings being missing is not an injury related thing but just that our 18 can't have everybody each week.

Presume he is omitted from the squad as Pau was on Saturday?

I looked at their pre-match tv and one bloke said playing us isn't just their toughtest game remaining but one of the toughest of the season. How we expect to be top end of the table and Unai expects to win every game. Bit different from when we expected teams to come to VP and wipe the floor with us.

Potentially an injury or red card away from Scott Carson's first league appearance since the 1964/65 season.

I'm only really afraid of one of their starters. But, to be fair, I'm really, really afraid of him.

[Somniloquism]

My only concern is that O'Reilly. Seems to have become a bit of a talisman for them recently.

I know who you mean, but I'm a bit wary of Marmoush.

Sure, I'm wary of all of them to a greater or lesser degree. But the thought of de Bruyne on the ball in space makes me panic and go blind and knock things off the mantelpiece. Had I a mantelpiece.

Ollie out is a strange call. But we’ve got to get at those full backs.

He's a crap builder though.

[SamTheMouse]

I have a bad feeling about this.

[PeterWithesShin]

KDB is a lot more miss than he used to be, probably why they never talked to him about a new contract. Hopefully tonight won't be one of his good games.

Not just the full backs but their midfield consists of four 30 somethings.

He is, but he is still fully capable. Lots of their team are, we need to run them.
