Just complete non events most of the games. The same could be said for most clubs going to the Etihad. Strange how spending the GDP of a small nation on a squad of players makes you so hard to beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No was hobbling around 40 mins then played on and just subbed off near end when game was in the bag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted January 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2021 This si a very tough game to face after not training for two weeks. City are flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The more I think about it the happier I am this is the fixture to start again with. Will be run ragged which will put us in good stead for Saturday evening. Will still hurt if we get thumped but hopefully we can still give them a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I can't work out if having 2 weeks off will make the players slow and rusty or fresh and raring to go. I know sometimes when I have a longer rest away from running i feel surprisingly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Covid though potentially could be so detrimental to the respiratory functions. However I'd imagine they've all been working hard the last few days to prove they are fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCollins29 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Any idea who is actually fit for this? Ive seen pics and videos of doug, jack, elmo and barkley training. So id imagine all 4 will be in the matchsay squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Do we know who is available and who is still out with Covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Salad Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I would have been ecstatic with a draw in this one even before the unknown as far as who will be fit; would be even more so now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 One little thing to keep an eye on is the storm that's about to hit, Manchester is going to have constant rain for 2 days (2 months worth i think i heard) I know modern pitches are totally different but that's a lot of rain and so could put the game in doubt or have an effect on the pitch for the game Outside of that City 3 Villa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Aguero is another one of those who loves playing against us. 9 goals in 7 games. Hope he isn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Think there has been a photo of Emi as well?? His Instagram suggests he is back in training So just RW and the subs bench to fill? As already mentioned, Elmo will probably go wide right. We don’t have much of a bench anyway. We will have to wait until tomorrow, but it seems it could have been a lot worse judging by these photos.

Smith has already said they are at different stages and that makes total sense. The first 11 tomorrow will be very interesting.
