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

[Twisted-wheel]

Gvardiol is giving mangala a run for his money as the shittest defensive signing, who turns their back on anybody as a defender

 

[Tevez City]

Pep will not make change until its 2-0

 

[Ajm1985]

If Walker coming on was tactical, why does he not want to make any other tactical changes? Ones that may benefit us?

 

[Blueknows]

It's okay pep throwing a tantrum on the sidelines do summat about it and make some subs

 

[Dialog]

Gvardiol has lost the fucking plot.

He does that a lot.

 

[YatesA]

Just watch Rogers. Foden was doing that for us last season but absolutely no one on this team is even trying to be a difference maker. They all look shit feart and feeling sorry for themselves.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Change it Pep, we can all see a second coming

 

[jamielowndes]

I have no agenda.

I just think our tactics are currently really really poor. Regardless of the players out there. Rodri obviously would make a huge difference in leadership but even while he was fit we were starting to get clueless in front.

I think other reams ' tactics have figured out how to frustrate us and punish us. Much more than in previous years when we dumbfounded them.

There's been an overwhelming response to Pep tactics in the last 2 to 3 years where teams are perfectly comfortable with us having possession. We don't gave the urgency to force anyone's hand and we're being made to look lackadaisical as a result.

 

[levets]

Nunes for Gundogsn please

He’s not in the squad lad

 

[bondsman]

Fuck off gvardiol. We’ve gone from being a team with character and we now have no fucking bollocks at all. Pep do something different for fuck sake you don’t have the players to play the way you want so change it otherwise this shite is all that will keep happening.

 

[Cuban heels]

Awful post.

Why
You tell me

 

[handsofstone]

Losing every 50/50, all our players are scared

Like a bunch of kids trying to make a challenge

 

[bluethai]

Our fake and soft pressing is making Villa look like prime Barca.

 

[Twisted-wheel]

I’m sure they’re more entertaining than your team

What city? Grow up you tool

 

[ws01]

We can’t do anything. Not one of our players looks top 4 quality. All happened so fast and all at once. It’s mind boggling and one of the weirdest phenomenons the game has ever seen. We look like relegation fodder.

Makes me think Pep has lost them or started to. It can't all be a coincidence

 

[Bluemoon dan]

You can tell how comfortable villa are, they can't even be bothered to boo Grealish any more.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Feeble defending again by Gvardiol. He has to do better.

Goals masking the fact he's actually not a very good defender

 

[Mr HJ]

Most teams seem quicker to the ball and much fitter than us at the moment. We've gone from a midfield of Prime Kev, Gundo and Rodri - to Kova (who has not been as good as I hoped), Lewis and a knackered Gundo - that is the issue in our forward play.

Kyle Walker on throw ins ladies and gents - it's embarrassing.

 

[1961_vintage]

Pep will not make change until its 2-0

... and 85 minutes have been played.

 

[mackenzie]

I really don't care anymore about top 4. I'd just give anything for a couple of good performances/results where we look cohesive and semi confident.
