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

[mattyads]

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.

We just don't look anymore solid playing without width, so have the width.
If Rashford could finish it would be out of sight.
I hope he doesn't leave it too late to change. Probs doku on

 

[hihosilva]

You missed our goal then?

Sorry I forgot he ran 10 yards into space.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Mcatee not up to this.

 

[deano ou812]

It's corrupt. Simple as.

Some need to get their heads out of the sand corruption in Italy ( multiple times) Germany and spain yet England is squeaky clean dead on ..

 

[HolisticJim]

We need to dig in and be difficult to get past. Villa seem to be controlling the midfield and we need to throw a blanket over that.
Nico could do a job here but it would be at the expense of KDB or McAtee. We would have to step up massively to get a win. Here’s hoping…
If we lose here we are in trouble.

Mcatee has done nothing.

 

[heslops barnet]

I’m glad I didn’t pay £71 for a ticket to watch this. We have zero penetration and are creating next to nothing. I’m not sure what Pep is seeing in his team selection compared to what we have on the bench. I’m starting to doubt that we will make CL for next year.

Looks a better bench than what’s out on the pitch

 

[Blu1]

Ffs no subs pep what are you doing

 

[christened at st marks]

Fuck off with your 'save Pep again' shite.
This team is without Eddy, Stones, Ake, Akanje, Rodri & Haaland, tell me any other team who could compete with those out

And Foden Doku and Savinho

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Big second half needed from Pep first and foremost.
Be ruthless.
Get some speed on there fairly sharpish. Don’t wait until they’ve gone ahead and we’re chasing the game.

But we know that's what he will do! I posted before 88th minute when we are 2 or 3 -1 down.

 

[BLS]

I'm 66 and that decision is ........fuck it I forgot,eh ?

 

[Sky Blue]

Shit keeper too.

People can say all they like about him goalkeeping wise, He was fucking bobbins.

Shit scared of coming off his line.

 

[Bluearmy]

Largely positive half against a really good side. Very soft penis imo. Ref only shown one angle by the looks of it.

Villa full backs are there for the taking

Oooh Matron

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

They look shite to me
Def there for the taking
We are just so slow and unable or not willing to play a through ball choosing to pass sidewards
Mcatees awareness is way off and to fucking lightweight anyway.
Desperately out of ideas and that **** in goal is getting in my tits

Agree with this. Villa look gettable but there is very little energy in the middle. KEV looks absolutely fuxked

 

[VOOMER]

We are undone by very basic stuff. It keeps happening. We had a chance to improve our squad and rather than actually by what we really needed, we bought more center half's and a slow defensive midfield player.
We were in control, we need to get back to that.

 

[blue moony]

Hmmmm cannsee this ending 1-3

 

[johnny crossan]

Fuck off with your 'save Pep again' shite.
This team is without Eddy, Stones, Ake, Akanje, Rodri & Haaland, tell me any other team who could compete with those out

I agree but Akanji is available if a little rusty. McAtee is once again way out of his depth and we shouldn't have to wait until the hour for him to be subbed,

 

[stan bowles]

He’s not pulled up any trees but some players need some time. He has goals in him and is a useful squad player for me.

I like him and want him to do well but sometimes you've got to seize the moment when it arrives...carpe diem and all that. You only get so many opportunities to impress.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Some need to get their heads out of the sand corruption in Italy ( multiple times) Germany and spain yet England is squeaky clean dead on ..

And never ever questioned by our intelligent, enquiry press.....!

 

[vicblueman]

Clear and obvious my arse.

If that happened at Clanfield,Old Trafford or Arsholes that penalty wouldnt of been given .

 

[VOOMER]

Shit scared of coming off his line.

We isn't as good as Eddie
