It's Manchester City vs Aston Villa tonight and after our insipid display against Fulham on Sunday, I fear for Man City. If we draw, which is not unlikely, I fear there will be a rather tame surrender in the replay at Villa Park - as there was against Stoke City at the Victoria Ground in last year's FA Cup. City have plenty of big names, but no real playmaker in the middle of the park. Silva is out for a few weeks and Adam Johnson's season is over. We also do not function properly when Vincent Kompany and Nigel de Jong are out. I guess we will try to bludgeon it out - but it is unlikely to be pretty!
