Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Shocked more than anything. I thought we'd struggle a bit but not that fucking bad. Rico looked like he won a competition to play. Only Ederson could hold his head high.

Esteemed Kompany spot on with his latest vlog, big problems at City

There isn’t big problems at all. We just got done last night and have to accept it. We should of been 4 up vs spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea games was dropped points on small margins. However the performances have been good, had we won all of them we’d be talking about how we’re gonna piss the league again
 
Miss KDB big time for his creativity and influence, Gundo too.
but our big players did not turn up - Bernado, Walker two that come to mind.
Bobb, Nunes not ready, Rico was lost and still Phillips could not get on the pitch .
 
Lewis needs protecting whilst the others on the bench need to be playing given the investment in transfer fees and wages. Why isn’t Pep handling Rico like he did Phil. Villa was always going to be exactly how it played out last night, the night therefore Phillips was actually needed that game was made for him surely he’d been in that situation every Fukin week at Leeds
 
The harsh truth is that IMO was the worst performance under Pep and this was highlighted by the fact Villa played very well.

I don't think all is lost though as I believe the title will be won with less that 85 points and we are still in it. When this latest round of injuries/suspensions is over I think we will kick in.

I believe the recruitment of Phillips and Nunes was not so good and for me I was expecting a lot more from Kovacic - last night I thought he was very poor and didn't seem to play the "Pep way".

Have faith we will recover!!

Tbf to him, like Philips, he hasn't had any run in the team to allow him to settle. Problem is, it's chicken and the egg, in that they likely need time but time is not an option if you're looking to win titles

Hallelujah!!! There are other people on here that can see past this time nonsense.

When you play for the best club in the world, you ain't got time. You need to be at it from day one.

Winning titles doesn't carry passengers.

He hasn't started (I recall first year after he joined City he was just coming back from injury), but Jack has come on as a sub for City at Villa Park. Some people's need to even make up lies to try and slander Grealish is honestly weird.

He wasn't even anything to do with proceedings last night but still some numpty is trying to drag him into the conversation to slag him off by inventing something that never happened.

But a defender in midfield instead of a midfielder in midfield. The amount of space McGinn had was crazy considering

Agreed. Echo others that Kovacic and Nunes haven't done enough since signing, nor looked anything like what we'd have hoped. Think based the selection last night that Pep thinks that too. Losing Rodri is like playing with ten at the minute. How's that cloning clinic that Mansour was on about coming along?

He is handling Rico like Phil it was his PL start for awhile and that was probably due to injuries and suspensions Some on here have been calling for him to start every week Last night would be good for his education, a step back when everything has been going his way I’m sure he won’t let the success go to his head but a push back once in awhile is good

Outplayed today and that is very rare. That was the best performance against us in a long time.

Missing key players and it showed. Stones looked like a guy who is not match sharp.

Foden and Alvarez were poor.

Pep probably didn’t get it right today. Lewis shouldn’t have played but I’m sure lots of people would have started him. He sand Alvarez should have been removed at a half time though.

City were dreadful attack wise. You have to take some chances and cross the fucking ball. Also, go long sometimes. The Vile weren’t afraid to do that and they have Ollie Watkins not Erling Haaland.

What really narks though is that I’m sure Eddie would have saved Bailey’s shot if Ruben had not deflected it.

Villa will now be awful when they play Arsenal.

City’s squad is too thin and the club really needs to get into the transfer market in January and make a couple of top quality signings.

pep probably , PROBABLY, F.F,S.
 
in the run up to them hitting the post late on, their number 6 (Luiz) was found totally alone in space, centrally, anywhere between 20 and 50 yds from goal, 4 times. The replay is not good viewing for M Nunes.

Not a conspiracy. [Grealish] was booked for kicking a ball away.

He would have known that would get him booked.

Considering players from the opposing team had done it without consequence, no, he wouldn't have. Don't you have something more relevant to contribute to the conversation in a thread about a game Grealish didn't play in or effect in any way? Or is the smallest opportunity to try and shit on Grealish just too tempting to pass up?
 
Giddy Villa fan in work this morning but at least he has bought some nice mince pies. He's saying that Villa can be this year's Leicester - I replied relegated in 2026 then.
