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

[stan bowles]

Villa playing well so far. Hard to deny they deserve their lead.

 

[SuttonColdfieldBlue]

Surely Cherki and Marmoush for Bobb and Savinho.

Pointless playing too wide because we’re doing sod all with it, those two are having a really poor game and their full backs are shutting it out every time. Play narrower and let Omar run through the channels. Slipping in those through balls earlier on got us closer than any of the shite “crosses” we’ve seen since.

 

[citymad]

Savinho, Bobb and Reindeer made of paper.

 

[whp.blue]

How does nunes keep getting picked? He is permanently out of position and constantly plays us into trouble. Garbage he costs us at least a goal a game.

 

[theholysmurf]

Get to half time and reset, shite this.

 

[Mr HJ]

For those moaning about some being critical of this effort thus far - we could easily be 2 or 3 down with them not having done anything wildly good.

Pep says Cherki has to learn about our team methods first but please someone tell me what Savinho, Phil, Bernie and Bobb have done to keep him on the bench. Imagine him being on the ball like John there and having to find a pass to Erling. Everything is slow and laboured.

 

[Gabriel]

Nunes has a habit of slipping, choice of footwear?

Compass. He didn’t need to turn again.

 

[Damien10]

Both of our defensive midfielders are injured or been advised not to play.

Doesn’t mean anything. We should be set up better than this. Kova is a better option in that role than Stones.

The balance is way off.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

No way? A striker not scoring every shot they take? I'll call Ripley's

He is missing a lot of chances he would have scored in his first season.

 

[Semper aggressus]

why are they always brazil 1970 against us. What the hell is this crap. this is aston fucking villa why are they so good?

Cos we’re soft and have no attacking threat apart from if Haaland gets the ball.

 

[pbueno16]

Both of our defensive midfielders are injured or been advised not to play.

Kovacic can’t be worse the Reijnders or Foden in the middle.

 

[geek24601]

Brainless Gvardiol.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Oh good. Another set piece to defend....

 

[come-on-barney]

Villa manager is a good coach….very underrated

A better one at Bournemouth.

 

[Petetheblu]

They culminated the most points over the past 3 seasons. Hardly a purple patch. They are so tough to score against

Yet have still won fuck all....

 

[Roachy]

A bit too easy this for Villa.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Our goal threat is currently like someone trying to mug you with a feather.
Our midfield would hand over their phone and wallet today.

Don't know why Rjeinders is still getting games. He disappears most of the game

 

[01cravend]

Josko being good going forward masked how shite at defending he is at fullback.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Need a spark here. Cherki would be the sun for me

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Are people new to supporting city or what? Of course peps not gonna change it at HT
