Aston Villa (A) - Post-Match Thread

the second half was fantastic from us. they caught us switching off after the break but how we battled after that and completely repelled wave of pressure and completely smothered them says to me the character of the team and how we will be only one winning the league in the end.
 
If he becomes one of our most important player in the next five years and is central to us winning multiple trophies, becoming a City legend in his own right, will you come back and say you were wrong? Or do you not think he's talented or commited enough to excel at a world class club?
Your support is an absolute disgrace, thick as mince, utterly
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
Was fearful after the 1st half we would get a 4 or
That’s what sets us apart from them horrible twats . SWP’s return playing for Chelsea against us . Got the ovation the lad deserved .
I've no time for Villa in any way. Apart from the obvious lot nothing would please me more for them to get relegated and sink down the leagues and disappear forever.
As Villa fans are we supposed to be happy about losing our best players to city all the time ? ie Barry , Milner, Delph , Grealish ? How are we supposed to build a team to compete if this keeps happening? City didn’t need Grealish .It’s easy for city fans to applaud ex players as when you move players on you are bringing in world class players to replace. UTV
 
Team was held together today by Ederson, Dias, Rodders and Bernie. Some of the others need to realise what 90 minutes effort means. Good efforts too by Ake, Zink and Dinho bearing in mind their lack of game time
 
65% possession and 60% of the fouls. Opposition fouling themselves again? I'd like to see other teams' possession stats compared to their foul stats. I'm convinced we are shafted regularly. My Rag son-in-law tried to convince me that the number of penalties MANUre were delivered was a measure of how often they got in the opposition penalty area. Wonder why that doesn't apply to us? I mean, we scored two tonight and Dias was outside and Bernie barely stepped in. Do we ever get inside the opposition area, or are we just ignored when it comes to penal offences outside of our area?
 
Most weekends are much the same, I've given up worrying about it now as we've learned how to overcome it thankfully.

I texted my lad after only 5 minutes tonight to say he was cheating, and Villa had barely touched the ball at that point.
I said to a mate 5 mins in ,a non City fan ,ref is known cheat watch him.
Mate spotted ,before me.. that it should not have been a corner for their goal.
It is what I expect from Mike Dean,he did his 'best'...But City and Pep also expect it.and have leant to live with it.
No penalties at all,so far this season in the premier league.......How does that happen...How exactly does that happen???
 
Massive 3 points with the squad stretched so thin tonight.
Bernardo incredible again, delighted with Raheems performance, his best for us this season. Onto Watford Saturday with our 2 rivals having difficult games before us.

It’s called succession planning. Look it up, it’s what well run organisations do. We’ve bought him for the next five years, not the first five months

For years I resisted the “corruption conspiracy agenda” and blamed incompetence and cowardice, but the last straw for me was Tierney and Milner. I now believe in one way, shape or form we are subject to specifically different refereeing that is not in our favo(u)r. Today Jesus was fouled twice in one move in the box and the replay made it obvious. Plenty of other examples from today as well. To paraphrase Ian Fleming writing about James Bond when he was playing golf against Goldfinger, we will just have to beat them, cheating and all.
