Match Thread | Aston Villa vs. Manchester City (26/10/25)

[Gabriel]

There’s a noticeable drop in pressing intensity on the right (Bobb,Foden) as opposed to on the left (Savinho, Bernardo). It’s on that side where we’re being too easily penetrated and look a tad lost.

 

[come-on-barney]

In game management you have to laugh.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

To be fair villa are playing through our press and we are pressing them wuite hard.

 

[Why always me..]

Without Rodders, we are non title contenders!

The match day thread gets worse every week, assuming we're not 5 up in the first 30 minutes that is.

Some of the crap chatted on here is unbelievable.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Not good enough without 1/2 dm’s playing.

Wide open.

Hardly through choice though is it

 

[Damanino]

they seem to be more fresh, quicker etc despite playing away from home Thursday evening.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Fuck me. We're not in this one at all after that opening 5 minutes when we looked promising. It's heart in your mouth moments whenever they get near our goal.

 

[deano ou812]

Players hiding once we go a goal down

 

[super_city_si]

Looks like he’s switched Bobb sndbernedo

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Reijnders beginning to look like a flop

 

[HelloCity]

Hung out to dry. Hes a 10 playing 6

He ain’t a 10 haha

 

[Goater=Legend]

Whats the point in pressing if your not going put a tackle in. Three players stood around Onana not doing anything

 

[Gibblue]

This is shite now Pep, change it.

Don't worry Cherki will come in on in the 82nd minute at 2-0

 

[mcfc_ms]

We need to bring Kova or Gonzalez on for the middle

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

No Rodri, No Nico Gonzales,

We're WIDE OPEN!

 

[paulchapo]

Reijnders is miles out of his depth here

He's like that center half we bought that had a great debut against Chelsea and was then absolutely shite.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Reijnders can’t even track a simple one-two

 

[pudge]

Great cross there from Savinho again, how has Haaland not gotten on the end of that, his fault..

 

[Tevez City]

Pep overthinking again
