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

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

The rebuild is monumental

 

[madloaf]

Words from Pep that could make your hair stand on end…

“Lads, why don’t we try dropping back about 10-15 yards, give them less spaces to run into….”

Goosebumps

"Lads, I'm thinking we try one of those forward passes to haaland..."

Goosebumps.

 

[Techno]

Walker coming on for Stonesy... we're fucked

 

[blue by birth]

Honestly it could be 1938 all over again!! ( I wasn't on the planet then, but obviously know the atats). The way it's going, it could well be a distinct possibility. City doing the work themselves for the Red cartel clubs!

You seriously think we could get relegated
Wow..

 

[uwerosler28]

No point in doing the big switch every time to Jack and then the rest of the team just stand there watching him, he needs movement infront of him to be able to take advantage of the space created.

 

[city saint]

Stones injured again

 

[Blue and true]

I think we're actually playing reasonably well in the circumstances. The problem is we don't really look like scoring, whilst they look threatening every time they break. Never really thought we could win this one, but there are glimmers of hope though that might be slowly turning the corner once we get a few more players back. Grealish has been really bright on the left hand side.

That's my concern. We're playing better than we have in weeks but still look toothless.

 

[Paul1970]

We’ve created a few half chances but nothing really clear cut. We might get back into it but not sure we can get through the game without conceding another. I can’t see us winning this game but we might snatch a draw.

I can’t see us scoring tbh

 

[plongo]

Matty Cash is utter shite. Really need a Doku on here to torment him. Move Jack central for Gundogan or Foden.

Correct, we get him on a yellow after 3 bookable challenges and then leave him alone!

 

[colorado blue]

Other than not looking like we would score if we played against 9 men we’ve looked much better than recently. Haaland is wasted with this team, can’t blame him to much because he gets nothing.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Stones lasts 45 ffs

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Doku and Kev have to come on now. We don’t have any creativity without them.

Walker coming on

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Walker on for stones for goodness sake

 

[ws01]

Gundo was brought back to play the last 25 in games where we could take Rodders off, unfortunately he's had to play every game because of injuries. Not his fault or Peps. Man is a legend who has won us titles. Far too many short memories in here.

He's not good enough even for that at this rate

 

[malg]

We're boring.

 

[Mr HJ]

All we need - Kyle Walker!

 

[kaz7]

He's 22

And hasnt played for the first team,he clearly is not ready or good enough

 

[Semper aggressus]

We are the softest team in world football. We don't even touch the opponent, just guard a little on distance. Makes me mad.

This! I fucking hate it. You can forgive ability, or age slowing you down, but at least get fucking stuck in! Stand up for yourself and team mates, leave a few studs on toes in the box, whisper a few insults to easily wound up opponents, it’s fucking easy. We don’t even try and earn the right to compete at the moment.

 

[bellsouth]

Walker coming on

Stones injured?

 

[jollylescott]

Stonesy off. Walker on
