Villa Vs City Post Match Thread

[FishFoot]

Whilst that may be true, their record subsequent to an opening day win at Bournemouth read p.10, w 0, d 1, l 9. Today they managed just 3 attempts at goal (with zero on target) in 90 minutes. Their new manager has had the grand total of 5 days to work with them. Piss poor was just my lazy description of Villa, but even being more considered you'd be hard pushed to find a worse outfit in the Premier League at this moment in time. Whatever the circs though, that was 2 points pissed away today

Sherwood was winging it. Totally guessing. Hadn't picked our best players all season.

All it took was our better players in a starting XI and just going back to basics.

Don't worry, you'll walk the league.

He ran over to receive the ball, why didnt Gestede just throw it straight out, rather than wait for him and then wang it at him as hard as he could. Wasnt very sporting after we kicked the ball out so your play acting player could receive treatment.

Hart only had to move out the way. Not a very smart move. It was easier to move than try and control it. Goalkeepers are mad :D

Gestede was a disgrace, Villa fans should be embarrassed by his behavour

Keepers arent the brightest sparks agreed, but still it was a cunts trick to wait for him to come over and then wang it as hard as he did.

Not only that but as soon as he'd caught Joe unawares by hurling it at him, he started sprinting to close the City keeper down. Fucking prick. Really disappointed that Micah played along with it as well.

Storm in a tea cup. It's slightly amusing :D

Cunts can be amusing, disappointing ending to a game that had been played in good spirits until then, Fernandinho was right to run over and call him a ****.

Mate, if we were down to the bare bone, Richards and Boyata would have played today. Kelechi is a natural goal scorer, that much is obvious but to not play him when we had no specialist striking was a very bad call in mine and most fans' opinions.

As said I would not have played navas before him either, but MP made the call and I can sort of understand why in hindsight despite us not scoring today, in the same predicament last season he could have played pozo or kelechi or any youth striker, and when he did play pozo was not fantastic (if I remember rightly city fans of the time were purring over him too just because he's a youth player) anyway MP put Milner up front for the next lot of games without a striker

Our expectations have changed from 10 years ago. Sorry to have confused you.

Oh didn't realise being top of the league and top of champions league group (and qualified) and quarters of league cup doesn't meet your or our expectations. You do know few weeks before our expected March to the fa cup starts so where is the negative. I'm with you, I expect to win every game and therefore if no quadruple then we've failed ;)

When they come to the Etihad, we shouldn't put the ball out of play no matter how seriously their players are injured. Let them know ahead of time we're playing to the whistle no matter what.

Unsporting is missing a drugs test, not a goal keeper not being able to control a throw in :D

Well it didn't end up a problem and it seems pretty unlikely to be a problem next season. We can remember at ours and extend a 'Delph' reception to him.

An away team not winning at Villa Park is more embarrassing. Usually we struggle to not give away the points :D

Got back about half hour ago having driven through a monsoon coming home on the M6.
Pissed wet through during the game and a laboured performance to boot.
Wasn't our day. Summed up when Uncle Fester saved Sterlings attempt with his head!!
Not going to go overboard with tactics and substitutions. Better finishing and we would have won.
Not great though was it.

 

[Proy]

Add to that nine games unbeaton now in all comps

If KDB or Sterling put there chances away the Nacho sub debate would not even get a mention

I think there's more of a debate on can Yaya play twice a week anymore?

Yes. In short.

I don't think it's ever been a fitness issue with Yaya

Summed up. If Aguero was fit it was 4-0

Apologies, just putting things into a little perspective.

Sadly there becomes almost an inevitability in games like that where we start slowly,the passing is poor, Toure is ambling about looking disinterested. Momentum kicks in at about 70 minutes when we start to look like we need to take charge. Their goalie then has a blinder. Seen it many times in the past few years with City .At least we've progressed from conceding a wonder goal scored by some no hoper.
