Aston Villa (A) - Post-Match Thread

[scousemanc]

City are adaptable. Tonight was a different challenge to PSG last week. But City adapt their play to the circumstances. Villa defended with numbers, hoping for a set piece or a break. PSG have a front 3 of superstars. We beat them both. Add to this the players who are missing, and you realise this is a proper football club.
I would discount Chelsea for the title as being not quite good enough, which leaves us and the scousers. The scousers are a goal scoring machine, you can't deny that, but over the course of a season City have more ways of winning games than Liverpool. Liverpool are slightly 1-dimentional whereas City have several dimensions. Over a season, this is telling. As the City players return, the afterburner will be ignited.

A bit nervy second half

3 points... never in doubt.

That’s what wingers do.

is the right answer
sterling is not a striker or can play in the false 9 because his finishing is not his best part of his game

I like Leroy he gave us some great seasons and helped us to win trophies fabulous player. Personally I wouldn't boo him I think he would deserve to be clapped. I'm not one for having a boo at ex players, Apart from James Milner, Players come and go, But when they have Sky digs whilst going that is uncalled for then that's a different story.

I know exactly where you’re coming from and Milner would probably not even get the slight applause. I’d sit on my hands :-)

The extent of my booing is that stupid Champions League anthem thing. :-)

Never a pen and it was a goal kick lol.

Correct, but he could have give it if he was determined to fuck us over.

It’s like a divorce thin line between love and hate for some fans ( Alot of fans did clap him) Could have been a legend at Villa but will no doubt win trophies at city . Likely to become just a squad player at city.

He loved that screamer from Bernardo though.. he would have loved nothing more than score tonight against you lot
Likely to not be a squad player salty

i think you may need to go back and look at it again ? an area inside the box across the 6 yard line or just outside the 6 yard box yes. but outside the box with a defender picking up the pieces

Where there was, handily, a player to smash it in. All about opinions mate but it’s fair to point out he assisted what turned out to be e winner!

Like not awarding a pen to Villa?

You sir, are having a laugh.

It’s not a question.

 

[ancoats]

You really do hate Sterling don’t you. Go on admit it.

not at all ? i think it was not his best game and could have offered more.
i think pep will say the same thing about sterling jesus and marhez tonight
