It was Simpson-Pusey for Ake really. Plenty in the pre-game thread moaning about McAtee not getting minutes. If you can't bring him on when 3-0 up and in control at home to a very average side, then when can you? KDB needs minutes too. McAtee and KDB didn't play at all well but ultimately it...

Crazy game. Totally in control at 3-0 up and then crap defending cost us yet again. The subs didn't help us at all but I can understand Guardiola making them at 3-0 up with not long to go. You should be able to trust the 11 on the pitch from that point. Gvardiol is becoming a liability...

Started well but faded a bit and they grew into the game. Still we created quite a few chances and got a bit unlucky with their keeper making saves, hitting the post and some good defensive blocks. We didn't give too much away except when Akanji (as he has a tendency to do at times) went...

Come on you Blluuueeeesssss!

Need to go back to the 4 CBs if we can ever get 4 of them fit. Akanji, Dias, Stones and Gvardiol. Bernardo, KDB and Grealish behind Haaland for a bit of control and work rate. CM is a mess though and no idea who can play the DM role without Rodri and Kovacic. Certainly not Gundogan and Lewis.

Created plenty of chances and it wasn't a game we should have lost 4-0 on that basis but our finishing was well off today and our defending woeful. The biggest issue for me remains CM though. Lewis and Gundogan shouldn't really be starting games but for them to constitute our 2 CM players is...

I think we played ok with the ball and started well. Haaland had 3 good chance and Foden 3 half-chances. Problem is, as usual, off the ball. Gundogan and Lewis are neat and tidy on the ball but look like they're running in treacle at times which makes us so easy to play through. 2 goals...

Come on you Blluuueeeesssss!

Doesn't look after the ball well enough for CM.

Pleased to see he's back in training. We function (IMO of course) better as a team when he plays.

Tomorrow's team won't but Saturday's might do ;-)

We were talking about the Prague team being in the 6th tier.

I'm in the difficult position of having to agree with a Villa fan. This just won't do ;-)

Tier 6 I believe.

One is including a sugary drink though, while the other isn't. No idea how much difference that makes.

Being generous, yes.

They are a few tiers above that. For added clarity though, the 6th tier (which they are currently in) consists of an additional 330 teams. Looking at their website, they are pretty much mid table in their division. To be honest they have a fairly decent, for the Czech Republic at least...

6th tier makes them seem better than they are. The Czech League has: First Division (Chance Liga) as the top flight with 16 teams. Czech National Football League as 2nd flight with 16 teams. The 3rd flight is divided into 3 separate divisions based on region with 50 teams in total. The 4th...

I'm not keen on either song, so most likely won't vote. Best of luck to the 2 posters left in though.

More like Wigan vs Watford. I surprisingly got a top 10 place though!
