***Villa v City Official Match Thread***

[Mase]

Wait....who's playing defensive mid?!

[john@staustell]

NO O'REILLY



Your City side to face Villa

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol, Reijnders, Bernardo (C), Bobb, Foden, Savinho, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Ake, Marmoush, Kovacic, Cherki, Doku, Nico, O'Reilly, Lewis

Trouble with the subs is:

Ake - off it
Marmoush- been injured, not fit
Kovacic - as above
Cherki - as above
Doku - off it, but who the fuck can tell?
Nico - clogged

Personally I'd rather see O'Reilly play, but it is what it is

Where the fuck is the build up to our game on Sky ?

Non existent.

Had to check we are on TV.

Fucking arsenal.Arsenal,Arsenal.

[john@staustell]

It'll be Rudolph or Bernardo Silva. Thought Kovacic would be the obvious, but when did Pep ever do anything obvious?

We've done it for a few games now, so the proof of the pudding..............

Suicide without a recognised dm against these. Yes they played Thursday but they will be up for this. Our mf is powderpuff. Imagine we will be seeing stones and Nunes stepping in there. Glad I'm missing this looking at that set up

Marmoush done something to upset Pep?

Bobb needs to grasp these opportunities as well. Been underwhelmed with him so far

Marmoush just isn’t that good.

And he's been injured all season. No way he should be thrown in away at villa from the start

Stones will step in there and be covered by Gvardiol

COME ON BLUE BOYS

Fuckin Andy Hinchcliffe. That's all we need, him whinging all through

[nottsblue]

Fucking Hinchcliffe

Fuckin Andy Hinchcliffe. That's all we need, him whinging all through

Don't know what's worse, his commentary or our kit

[Mase]

Josko needs to be off the pitch FFS. He's NOT a fullback!!!!

[Mase]

Savio put a decent ball in then - both our players in the box at the back post not moving...

His commentary. We'll have a new kit next year whereas that cunt will still be here
