Match Thread | Aston Villa vs. Man City (21/12/24)

[BlueMonkey79]

Just fuck off Rico. Another one clearly not good enough for the Premier league.

 

[ws01]

We’re not coming back from this are we

Not if that goal is anything to go by, no. Like a knife through hot butter

 

[Blu1]

Love pep but he is making this so difficult

High line
Bernie out wide offering nothing
Haaland doing nothing

I’d sacrifice both & play more players in midfield.

We are wide open in every position & every goal conceded is due to our set up

 

[Chak19]

The way Lewis keeps falling on his arse is comical.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Will Rico just fuck off from midfield? He’s always in the fucking way and then when the opposition break, he is fucking miles out of position.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Rico not tracking again. Same goal every week

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

We've been worked out. This is going to happen time and time again until Pep sorts it out. And i'm not sure he will.

 

[Paul1970]

Tielemans has been class for years and should really be playing at a higher club than Villa digne aswell .

 

[argyle]

Imagine if we did through balls like that for Haaland....

 

[East Level 2]

I'd disallow it as they didn't pass it backwards and sideways thirty times before shooting. You don't need to create our beloved "overload" when you break two v one.

 

[TFC]

Sometimes you have to except good play.

Yes, but why is there an entire half for the opposition to gallop into. Insane.

 

[Dialog]

We need a 8 new players that would walk in our starting 11

 

[super_city_si]

I hate the high line so fucking much. Absolutely baffled why we persist with it. Absolute insanity.

Even better when we invert the full back. High and at least 15 yards between the defenders. So much space

 

[BigJoe#1]

Nothing to do with game but fuck me I wish Lewis would sort his fucking hairstyle out. For some reason winds me up like fuck... So '70's man and looks awful.

 

[kashmir]

Hasn't done us too badly over the years has it....

But every team expects it now and always hits us on the break,need to change our gameplay

 

[Wellsblue21]

Oddly enough, the kind of through ball that we don't try nearly enough, despite having the best through ball recipient in the sport.

We have no risk takers on the ball without kev

Was truly blessed with Kev and David Silva

 

[Tomblue]

Play the same formation and tactics over and over again get the same results. This is starting to look like the end unfortunately.

 

[The blue phantom]

On a side note, I just got back my Endoscopy biopsy results and I am all clear. Thank God everything is okay. Now C’mon City!

Great stuff mate, more important than whats happening at Villa park too.

 

[johnny crossan]

Akanji now being analysed as at fault for the goal.

 

[Beanhead]

Does Lewis wear slip ons

He basically falls over when ever he is anywhere remotely close to a football. A good involvement is when he wins a debatable foul.
