Good time to play us with 7 players out, could be a tricky game for us and are struggling in some games without a striker   

Torres out till Jan

De Bruyne needs another week or so

Laporte suspended, back at the weekend

Grealish close to returning ,could play some part, probably on the bench

 Foden same as Grealish

Delap no return date yet

Mendy same as above :ph34r:

I think this 1 has the potential to be a good match. There is the Merseyside derby & the Newcastle - Norwich 6 pointer, but this 1 could perhaps be the neutrals match choice. With manager Gerrard & possibly Grealish as 2 intriguing features.

I think it will be a really buzzing atmosphere. Villa's 2 wins will have eased tensions for fans & players. Obviously a 5 or 6 mauling off City could dent all that. But I do fancy it to be at least competitive.

De Bruyne hasn't trained again but Grealish & Foden came back today.

“Maybe they can play tomorrow, but maybe not a lot of minutes. The doctor will see tomorrow.

“We are in a difficult position because a lot of players have played a lot of minutes.

“We will see what happens tomorrow after today’s training. Both will be tested tomorrow to see if they can travel tomorrow to Birmingham.”

All 3 Portuguese players playing for Man City in the form of their lifes and two of them scoring great goals today.

Jota having a great game too for Liverpool.

You'd think we would have to actively try in order to not qualify for the world cup with these players, but somehow we probably won't.

Ronaldo an issue, like for Manchester United?

On paper, I think you've got one of the most talented national teams in the world. Would be weird if you didn't qualify.

You have some great players right now like England

Yea, he shouldn't be playing.

One reason is that tactically we have to give up too much to accommodate him in a line up.

Another reason is players looking for him too much. There might not be clear instructions from the manager that the final pass must go to him, but it always does, so his legendary status might be a problem for the players around him. They don't know how to "ignore" him and play their best football by themselves. Frustrating to watch. Doesn't help that the throws a fit if they don't give him the ball.

Well at least it wasn't a heavy defeat.

Most worrying part is injuries perhaps to Targett & Bailey.

Noticed loads of comments on Twitter critical of Villa fans booing Grealish. In my opinion, I don't go as far as booing. But those fans that do see signing for any 1 other than Villa as unthinkable. And the club getting back to where it once was is not a sad no hope pipe dream it likely seems to some casual observers. And the only people applauded back anywhere are invariably those who were shown the door, or went to Real, Barca, etc.
