Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Aston Villa (24/05/26)

[journolud]

Lewis looking to make an impact. He's been good today. Hope he can develop more under the new manager, because he's gone backwards this season.

Not so much gone backwards as not really had a chance. Looks tidy today

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Get a pen and stick stones on it

 

[heslops barnet]

I wasn’t expecting much when I saw our starting eleven but that was a very pleasantly surprising first half. We played some beautiful football and could easily be three or four up

Villa have just been shite…..

 

[Beanhead]

In the shop window (?)

Hopefully.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Phil lookng sharp and hopefully next season is a better one for him. A few more starts, a few in the onion bag, some assists and looking at making the Euro 28 squad. He'll never play for a better manager but the new guy might bring something different out in all of the players.

I like Reinders' attitude, just wish he could find the goal, it's big enough and they pain the posts white to make it easier to see.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Hopefully we get a decent fee for him based on this performance.

Why do you want us to sell him.
He's a young blue

 

[Don Karleone]

Barring. It could a little more comfortable for Bernie's, Stonesy's and Pep's send off.

Not sure that matters today. If there was something riding on it, I'd agree. For myself, the result doesn't matter. I'm happy with the performance and want the 3 of them to get a great send-off, which is happening.

 

[RobH]

Would love a Reijnders goal.

5 goals and 2 assists in 18 PL starts, 3 assists in 6 CL starts, 1 goal 1 assist in 2 Carabao Cup starts, and 1 goal and 1 assist in 4 fa cup starts. Not bad at all.

Well, when you put it like that

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Rico Lewis has been very good. Credit where its due

 

[der bomber28]

Foden is absolutely shocking.

What’s going on with him? Keep hearing something is going on off the pitch, don’t know if it’s a health condition or something.

 

[come-on-barney]

Not many will be here next season from this side. Played okay, Villa offering nothing. That sun is hot man!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He is playing well TBF and I normally can’t stand his performances.

He’s always done ok in games like this where we are completely dominant. His problems arise when the other team have something about them and he has to do some marking, tackling and/or defending. It all falls to pieces then.

That turn in the box was Cruyff Esq

 

[Platt Lane 59]

60,332 , not bad for a team with no fans. Higher than VARsenal’s average attendance

Fecking Real Madrid tourists taken over again ?

 

[Irishblue93]

Foden is absolutely shocking.

He only has the one type of long pass, where he cuts it over high, never see him to try curl a ball like kev or dave, which makes it harder for the person running onto it

 

[indianablue]

Didn't realise it was the League 1 play off final, no great feelings for Bolton, but some A1 conts in Stockport's support so they can fk right off!

Good game, great support , my home town and i've watched them for years as well as City. Good to see their fortunes improve. Was at Wembley years ago watching Stockport vs peterboro in a playoff final. Posh deservedly won, got into it outside the ground with a few Stockport fans , couldn't take a beating

 

[bridgeno1]

Peacock channel here shows the first half highlights and then puts up "Coverage will resume shortly" with a picture of Old Fucking Trafford. Wtf...
..

I'm watching Arsenal at Palace and I reckon the commentators have mentioned the Rags more than Arsenal or Palace.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Cash coming on to kick the shit out of Savinho

 

[heslops barnet]

Good

 

[Claytop]

Savinho got his man subbed, might find it tougher this half.
