We’re actually 1 point better off than this time last season btw.

We’d be even better off if we had a big giant striker. Sort it out Pep….

 

[yeah whatever !!]

*Rodri is fine.
Cancelo is Not
Foden is not
Mahrez Is NOT
Everyone else is ok.

There's a lot of entitlement going on...The lads on the Forest vid showed more faith in our City players.

Always best to go out & walk the dog after a game like that, overall don’t think we did enough to win the game, thought 1-1 was a fair reflection, bigger picture is we are undefeated, Haaland is flying, and that’s 3 tricky away games out of the way, hopefully get a decent result in midweek & onto Spuds which is gonna be a great game, if offered the points we have at the start I’d of taken it, given Chelsea & Liverpool look off it and Spurs & Arsenal are flakey at best it’s looking like we’re gonna be the ones to beat again

They’re wilfully ignoring the blown whistle that stopped everyone playing. The decision was wrong but it wasn’t a disallowed goal, the decision happen long before the shot. Stones was stood there throwing his arms in the way - just because he was more worried about the ball hitting his head than any possibility of a goal. Play had stopped.

Correct. Whistle blew. Players stopped. Can’t possibly be a goal. But sky forgot to mention that fact

6 games into the season and people are talking about league tables and points get a grip. Villa had one chance and scored. We didn’t play great but we’ll step up over the coming weeks

Every team gets one chance and scores……..

I've took the dog for a walk. I feel slightly better and less disagreeable. Mahrez is still wank though.

Our Achilles heal is and will always be when we have lots of possession but aren’t at it. The opposition score on the break and we all lose our shit. This will happen several times and unfortunately the killer is Europe.

It obviously doesn’t help that Pep decides to hook Silva for Mahrez which is fuckwittery of the highest order.

We came into the game hoping to make a dent on Liverpool but we got the worst result, shit happens.

Fuckin gutted, but well played Villa. They had a plan, stiffened up their midfield, attacked & defended as a compressed unit & overloaded the spaces inside, denying us space to play between the lines. Gerrard marshalled his team brilliantly.

Rodri dawdling on the ball AGAIN! He was caught dawdling TWICE in the space of a minute which gave Villa belief & roused their fans! Up until then we had everything under control, before his double brain fart!

At 70 minutes we should have swapped Haaland for Alvaréz. Julián has an effervescence that Erling doesn't possess, & we needed to press them mercilessly right across our front line. Foden yes. Silva yes. Erling no, it's not his game.

On the plus side, at least we got a point from Villa's "City Cup" final. :-/

Yeah I agree, villa were well organised and maybe we should give them more credit rather than just saying we were all shit. We weren't brilliant I know but villa played their part in that I'd say.

 

[heslops barnet]

He doesn't want to defend.

Shoot?

 

[yeah whatever !!]

we did :)
