Ads Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 No matter how chronic we were yesterday, no matter how strong they are, it is our destiny to be dire against Man City; come Maine Road or the Council House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 If we get two throw ins and a corner, that will be a great result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 even their C team will wipe the floor with us! I hope Lambert fields youngsters and fringe players as anything else is a waste of time and effort. Given Herd -- Baker -- Clark -- Bennett Carruthers -- Delph -- Westwood -- Nzogbia Bowery -- Weimann we lose, we focus on West Brom rather than throwing everything we have at Man City and get spanked and further injuries!

CI Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Didn't Lambert say he'd be playing a full strength side ? That was prior to the draw mind you. Can't see many villa fans turning out for this tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 We NEVER win at their shitty soulless ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I really don't know about this one. I would love Lambert to throw caution to the wind and give the likes of Carruthers, Westwood, Bowery and so on a game here. Youthful exuberance might just prevail in the same way as it did against Man U but even if it doesn't and we get the hiding we all are expecting then we can always say we played our B Team.

8pints Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 ----------Bent---------Benteke/Agbonlahor ---------------Weimann----------- Holman-----------------------Bannan/Westwood ------------------KEA-------------- Bennett---Vlaar-----Clark------Lowton -----------------Guzan----------- I'd like to see something like this. I still think we need to take all the chances we are given to let these players play together and get used to each other. And I'd like to see Weimann played behind Bent and Benteke/Agbonlahor, as Ireland is injured, to see how it plays out. With a bench made up of Bowerman, Gabby/Benteke, Herd, Lichaj, Given, N'Zogbia, Bannan/Westwood. And, I think we'll win 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I think we'll be soundly beaten buuuuut you never know. Can't see their players or crowd being too motivated for this. As has been mentioned already the West Brom game is the priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 23, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2012 I honestly don't think Ci£y will take this game seriously. Me either - but I think they'll beat us comfortably. I'd give a couple of the fringe players a go: ---------------------Given-------------------------- Lowton-----Vlaar---------Baker----------Bennett ------------Delph--------El Ahmadi--------------- Herd--------------------------------------N'Zogbia And then up front, one from the big but not busy bag - either Bent or Benteke. And one from the busy bag - either Weimann or Gabby. I'll plump for Gabby and Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 GK - Given RB - Lowton LB - Bennett CB - Vlaar CB - Baker RW - Holzman LW - N'Zog CM - Herd CM - Delph AM - Bannan CF - Gabby Go 451 for this game and add a bit more steel in the team. We'll have plenty of forwards to bring on I and when needed. Baker in for Clark, don't think he should have been dropped after Clark came back from suspension.

villadude Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 A walk in the park for Citeh, we should give the fringe players a run out and save ourselves for the Boggies game. 3-1 to Citeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Can't say I'm bothered about this game at all. In fact cup games are a pain in the arse especially when you're struggling...would much rather have had a week to prepare for tescobaggiescumbaginbreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 My first post/prediction was me thinking with my heart and not head. Was looking forward to a cup run until I saw we drew City away...awful fixture for us and the site of it depresses me - not because of their recent wealth - its always been this way - we just can not win at their ground. They wont be bothered but will step up in gear when necessary and I can see a 3-1 loss. WBA is the priority. Although imagine the confidence a win would give us. (I said this against Swansea) But cant see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2012 You wouldn't if we had Brad "NO GOAL FOR YOU" Guzan to save the penalties. But alas, it'll probably be Given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
