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

[MMA]

Walk onto the pitch, disappear for the full 90 mins. Clap the fans at the end, walk off.

Then go fishing and get another haircut..

 

[samuelyeboah]

Another brave and commanding performance by Phil Foden

 

[Blu1]

They are completely controlling us off the ball.

Rico, foden, Haaland & Bernie doing nothing :-(

 

[Scottyboi]

I suspect your only half joking.

Any team in the league that's fitter than us and has a runner upfront will beat us, we're proper fucked unless we do something dramatic in the transfer window.

 

[levets]

Our possession based game is no longer effective. Teams have learnt how to nullify it. We’ve become too predictable, too slow and without any attacking creativity. And then of course the high line with no covering pace against the counter is killing us.

Move ffs city everybody stood around

Yep. Driving me mental watching us atm.

 

[I'm Blue]

We’re passing it about well, unfortunately with zero creativity and goal threat.
If we could actually defend we might have a chance.

 

[wolviedinho]

players backs all towards goal. No cohesion.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Struggling to even look like we might score at the moment

We are a very painful watch at the moment.

 

[Tb1981]

Zzzzzzzzzz

 

[jamielowndes]

Teams just let us pass it around aimlessly knowing they can pick is off.

We descend into self parody at times. Possession for the sake of possession rather than controlling the game and dictating the tempo.

 

[super_city_si]

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

Not even close

 

[kaz7]

Piss time, fingers crossed

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Grealish is the only one showing any urgency. The rest might as well be playing over 50's walking football.

 

[madloaf]

This team could put a glass eye to sleep. It's the worst football in the premier league and it might not be close.

 

[argyle]

Please can i borrow your blue tinted specs

Go ahead and criticise the club and the players. I'm not stopping you.

Seems a bit mardarse and entitled given what this team has achieved.

It's just one season too many for some players.

 

[Frank the Yank]

I don’t know what it is but there is definitely something wrong with Foden.

 

[Nas_City]

It is impossible for the Academy to not have a FB better than Rico.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

duran is one of those shit players who somehow scores against us ffs

I'd welcome him compared to what we are serving up

 

[Blu1]

We will do well if we keep this under 3 goals
