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

[01cravend]

We have to be the worst team in Europe's top leagues on current form

 

[ufo]

they are packed in middle

 

[CityDean]

All the players are currently in shit form.
We could really do with the Viking being prolific today with the very few chances we’re creating.

He must be fuming. Best striker in the world living off scraps. Get him some service ffs. Painful to watch

 

[wolviedinho]

The opponents seems so much faster than us.

It’s crazy. What is up with Phil/haaland?

Can’t get them into the game at all.

This is truly astonishing what we are watching.

 

[BTH]

Villa are playing like they're the away team here.

 

[Blu1]

What is Foden’s role in this system?

Forgot he was playing

 

[Paul1970]

How can they be so short of confidence?

After all the have won.

Mentally damaged over 2 months.

The players have won everything there is so there is now no hunger and the hat is what’s costibg us . Every season we should have been evolving this squad bringing in fresh hungry players wanting succes but we brought in a 34 year old who had won everything for us . As a boxer once said “it’s very difficult to get up and train when you wearing silk pjs “

 

[argyle]

You'll still be saying "It's just a blip" when we're just above the League 1 relegation zone.

We're going to get relegated this season and possibly next?

Well, given we've dominated for the best part of 4/5 years and this bad run is just over two months.... then yes I'd say it was a blip as I know the club will get it right next summer.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Haaland is a huge part of the problem at the mo. He has just stopped moving, he never attacks a cross, hes static.

He needs calling out, his body language spells out hes sulking.

 

[Damanino]

everytime our winger pass it backwards I drink a shot of vodka. I am at 20 gallons now.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Put Jackie in the KDB role.

Grealish or Tits Out?

 

[houraisen]

Can anyone shoot?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Villa playing some nice tippy tippy football

 

[Josh_D]

Not just Haaland making those runs. Just saw Gundo making those runs he used to during his first City stint but the ball went back. At this point, they may have to force the issue rather short passes. At least, the backline won’t be as high up if they bypass the midfield.

We have to be the worst team in Europe's top leagues on current form

We are 19th out of 20 in the prem since 1/11 never mind Europes top leagues!

 

[skillman]

If only Doku was on with this space Grealish is getting. But I doubt they’d give it him!

 

[decmancity]

Get Bernardo off the pitch and send him to Lisbon and worry about selling him later. Fucking offered nothing for near on 18mths now.

Absolute turgid shite

 

[wolviedinho]

No midfield is hurting us so bad.

1 pass and carved open.

 

[sh249]

Nice little dribble by Bernardo, loads of space for Grealish and he wildly overhits a simple switch. Symptomatic of tired bodies/minds.
