Match Thread | Man City vs. Aston Villa (22/04/25)

[69FACUPfinal]

The pen has absolutely shafted us, especially as the players have seen it in the stadium. Absolutely terrible officiating once again all round. We're actually playing well, would like to see Jack and Phil on for Kev and Macca.

What us Pep seeing that we aren't? His team selections are baffling.

Does he really want CL next season or is he hoping to be sacked?

That said we've been done over with that pk, their goaly taking the pis£, nothing given to us.

I really am heading for the darkened room with my frustration tonight. Culmination of an absolutely flecking shite season.

 

[OntarioBlue]

What the fuck has Given been watching

What’s he saying

 

[VOOMER]

Well we have a central midfielder at right back and another one at left back, how did we end up like this?

 

[ProofMCFC]

Marmoush is very good, it's very difficult to do something by yourself because all the other midfield and attacking players are bang average or past it, he still helped us score the first goal.

He is good, but for us i think he’s been average to what he can do…I’m aware that this is down to the team mostly, that was my point

 

[jamesha]

Yeah. Clear and obvious ? Dont think so

Would never happen if the dippers or rags were in that situation

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Just checking if Rashford hit the post on seventeen seconds as the commentator hasn’t mentioned it since.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Pawson is a fucking ****.

Shocking decision for the penalty, The same goes for that twat John Brooks doing VAR too.

Not to mention Rashford pulling back Marmoush on the counter attack and not even awarding a free kick.


Anyway, There's absolutely no way McAtee offers more to the team than Doku, Savinho or Grealish, He's out of his depth, Make a change at half time (I know it's not going to happen).

Gundogan has been non existent in midfield, Kovacic doing ok along with Marmoush and O'Reilly...Too many passengers tonight.

Ruben Dias has somehow managed to turn himself into the Portuguese Titus Bramble over the last 8 months or so.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Why do the bell sniffs who post in matchday threads never post any other time? Loads of thick twats posting utter nonsense from usernames I don’t recognise at all.

Either that or they’re all Ric’s burner accounts to boost the traffic to get the ad revenue rolling in.

 

[Sky Blue]

Is Gundo on the pitch?!

Never a pen for me, Dias got the ball which everyone managed to miss. That and being ran into rather than the opposite means it shouldn't have been given.

Fucking awful game otherwise. So sloppy. There's loads of space if patience is shown, but we just aren't passing and moving enough. We keep forcing things.

Pep bollocking incoming and hopefully we get the three points after a much improved second half.

Yep, got the ball. Still raging.

 

[akrh215]

Midfield is a massive issue right now. It’s honestly sad to see the decline of KDB, Berna, and Gundi. We used to control games with ease. Now we can’t even dominate with this current setup, and that’s worrying. We’ll need to seriously spend big this summer, no way around it.

 

[mattyads]

McAtee has no presence on the pitch

Its a mark of how far foden has fallen, that he even gets on the pitch. Strange times

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Is Pep’s assistant Lillo not there tonight?

Probably putting his boots and shorts on right now in the dressing room.
Looking at the age of our midfield, he reckons he might get a run out in the second half.

 

[uwerosler28]

Can't beleive how many empty seats there are, my block has multiple villa fans and to be fair none celebrated or are being dicks but it's an embarrassing turn out for a crucial game

 

[eyalluvitt]

HT
Man City 1
Aston Rashford 1 (+hit the post)

 

[pbueno16]

Well we have a central midfielder at right back and another one at left back, how did we end up like this?

Complacency in the transfer market and thinking players who have been run into the ground have Ronaldo's fitness.

 

[ThreesKompany]

So Dias winning the ball is meaningless?

 

[jaiguruKun]

Nico G and Doku have to come on

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Yeah. Clear and obvious ? Dont think so

I can't see a world where the ref hasn't said there was a coming together but not much else to it and that's why he waved it on. Like I say, in old money you'd accept it and move on but what has he apparently not seen?! Wound me up.

 

[gray740]

The standard of refereeing in the premier league is absolutely shite, disgusting decision that pen , one of the worst I've seen.
