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

[Mattyc55]

O’reilly not playing is absolutely bizarre

 

[Gazza]

If the midfield came back and marked the Villa players on the edge of the box it'd be nice.

 

[Ilovehappyendings]

Everything breaking to them whilst listening to Hinchcliffe cheerleading Villa

 

[Ian Latham]

This is just terrible.
Look knackered all of a sudden.
So much space in midfield

 

[Blueknows]

Awful ball sav , from a promising counter

 

[pbueno16]

It’ll be 2-0 if we keep committing this hard to equalize before the half

 

[super_city_si]

Savinho fucking hopeless

 

[Tourist since 1971]

Savinho crossing has been shite. He’s got Cash on toast but not making it pay.

 

[minimalistic]

Pep needs to change this at half time.

 

[King Jay]

Then he should do something different, drive into the box, hold it up and wait for support.

It’s not wrong to expect more from a player at this level.

He had a good cross now and no one was to be seen. Maybe the player/ players in the box can move better too. The crosses also depend on the move of the players within the box - just sayin

 

[geek24601]

Savinho bloody hell. Terrible this now.

 

[Don Karleone]

Our midfield

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Did Savinho find Rico’s blackmail material on Pep?

 

[hcblue95]

Kovacic or Nico for Reijnders at half time. Or even better, now.

 

[Roachy]

So from the last 5 pages thats Bobb, Savinho, Foden, Reijnders and even Haaland who aren't good enough.

Nope, just not playing well atm.

 

[daveiw01]

Reijnders beginning to look like a flop

Yeah, this new league, new team and new country business is a doddle isn't it?

Rodri was crap too in his first season and a total flop, if believing some of the geniuses on here.

 

[Paul1970]

Without Rodders, we are non title contenders!

Need to seriously look at the he Rodri situation as we can’t afford to be weak in that position with inferior players .

 

[theholysmurf]

Reijnders just the newest victim of Pep roulette.

 

[Nas_City]

Need Doku/Cherki or anyone for Savio at half time if not now.

 

[levets]

Our midfield is being easily played through now. Tijani and Bernardo missing at the moment
