Tim Sherwood needs Christian Benteke and Gabriel Agbonlahor to find their shooting boots

Intelligent enough to learn from his excesses in the Spurs dugout, he nevertheless retains his enthusiasm and motivational skills and might just mastermind enough upsets
in the run-in to get Villa over the line.

Their squad is such that really much better was expected of them this season and their quality may yet be their salvation
this season. Fabian Delph continues to come into his own and
Christian Benteke may have rediscovered his goalscoring
boots just in time.


But throughout the season, Villa have proved themselves to
be completely incapable of finding the back of the net. Only
Sunderland's ineptitude have saved them from an even more
embarrassing " goals for" tally.
Christian Benteke and Gabriel Agbonlahor have not become
bad players overnight and they have the ability to come
good before the end of the season. And they better had.
The other 23 members of their squad have just eight goals
between them all.

Their run-in is brutal. Home to Manchester United this week
and a revenge mission for Tim Sherwood to Spurs the week
after. In between a must-win match against his former aide
Chris Ramsey's QPR side. Manchester City , Everton, West
Ham and Southampton all lie dangerously in wait. Burnley at
home could be the crucial decider at the end of the
campaign.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
