Match Thread | Man City vs. Aston Villa (03/04/24) 8:15pm K/O

Some really good stuff and we are living the ball around so well. I’d just like to see more quality from Alvarez but also Bernardo. This game needs putting to bed early and a comfortable night needed.

Think Alvarez needs run of games in this position to get fully match sharp

This fuckin ref rubbin Vincent Kompany's nose in it.
Sends the Burnley player off for a "fuck all" 2nd yellow and then Vinny, yet thinks Luis is alright trying to tackle someone from behind getting nowhere near the ball whilst already booked.
Corrupt **** this England, and that's why he's always on VAR for the dippers game.
ARRRGGGHH rant over.
C'mon City lets finish these please

I don’t think that is a yellow. If that was in the middle of the pitch it wouldn’t a yellow. He has to try to make a challenge. I think that was a fair decision.

Arsenal +12 gd will take some catching

It'll do them no good when they finish 3rd

 

[Frank the Yank]

I think grealish has played well, much more direct today.

I think Jack has been quite good as well. However, I do wish he would feed Bernardo one of the times when Bernie makes one of the runs. If he times it right, he is in..

We deffo need that third goal…

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

some very good stuff from us in that 1st half, pace down both wings far. Look like we could score again.

 

[Allnightlong]

I rest my case ^^^

Did I say that "I have read 82 pages in one minute". No.

I didn't need to read 82 pages, 82 letters was enough on this stupid **** of a thread.

lol.....still here

Apart from one break away we have played some nice football in and around the box.

Teams transitioning against us is the Achilles heel. Fernandinho would be great in this side. We don’t have players breaking it up by being sly.

Villa did it to at least 2 of our attacks.

Our cards been marked for that - we are liable for a sending off if we break up play like Fern used to... I think we will have to keep it tight for 20..maybe even sit deeper bring Haaland on and counter attack them.

I know people get frustrated with Doku’s final product but he is very raw and that’s exactly the kind of young player I would be signing, as he can beat any defender (or multiple defenders) in the world and you can work to improve his decision making, which is mostly what lets him down.

Goes back to the old allegory of the sprinters: if you are a coach and go to watch two sprinters run the 100m, who manage the same finish time, one with perfect form, one with poor form, you go with the sprinter with poor form. There’s immense talent already there and opportunity to make them even better.

He’s got the full back, whoever it is on toast. He should have been on a yellow early on

Let's just focusing winning the match first before worrying about GD.

Fucking jokers on here. Grow a set ffs

We are playing well and winning against a good team, too many seem to forget what it was like supporting us before our first EPL title, I suspect some are too young and some prefer moaning.

Can't help but look once we have conceded .... normally because it coincides with me nipping outside for a quick toke. Never a pretty sight.

Rarely pretty when we’re winning!

Missing that many chances, he isn’t going to get it! If you want to stay in this side you have to be clinical.

We're played really well. We need to do the same in the second half and put two good halves together for once.

Do you think the Burnley lad's was worthy of a 2nd yellow?

 

[Allnightlong]

Wasnt wrong though, was he?

but why come on just to whinge......enjoy it !!

 

[vmsuhail]

Arsenal +12 gd will take some catching

We're not catching that. Every game is a slog for us. Arsenal are not winning at Tottenham and certainly dropping points in atleast one another game, we simply have to win all our games.

 

[PragueBlue]

Digne I think.

 

[Gabriel]

I don’t agree. I think he’s been excellent. He kept moving when he created that Alvarez chance

Watch him when he gets drawn in behind Rodri. He’s fine when he’s ahead of him and working the spaces, I agree, but he can sometimes get caught vertical behind Rodri and that leaves no pass and us vulnerable if we lose it. Small thing.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Didn’t watch it but that doesn’t interest me. I didn’t think this was.

 

[SWPISHOME]

This thread is brilliant. Haaland is being slagged off for chances he’s not even missing now. Alverez misses for the third time, let’s slag Haaland off! Haha!
Fucking bonkers.

It's getting stupid now. Some of the fucking garbage on here is abysmal.

It should be fucked off. It genuinely puts me off coming onto Bluemoon. I've met a lot of incredible people on here over the years that I'd now attend games with, Over the last few years It's attracted complete and utter morons.
