Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

OMFG that was bad. Why did city look so insanely slow and useless. Made Aston villa look like 20 men, shittijg themselves when within 10 yards of one ...... Insane game
 
trying to play total football from minute 1 and villa just got mauled us in the centre. crowd up, belief up, looked theirs all game.

i dont blame the defenders - they did pretty well considering the pressure and didnt give up much but a few half chances.

our midfield is just bang average and even with rodri we’re choosing to play this front four formation. If KDB comes back firing and everyone else stays fit then we might turn this around but the latter looks unlikely to me.
 
Well over thought starting xi. Alvarez isn’t a ten when he’s pressed. Looks lost under pressure.

Akanji can’t do the Stones role or the Rodri role.

Bringing Foden off today was as bad a decision I can ever remember.
 
Very poor tactics
Very poor energy
Very poor game plan
Very poor transfer window

We look way off the pace in every aspect of our game & these new players are no where near the likes of Mahrez or Gundy

Don’t mind losing tonight as villa deserved it but attitude of city players & pep needs to be better
 
I am in a state of stock can those players really look themselves in the mirror and say they tried as hard the villa players even though they are all paid considerably more than their counterparts. By far the worst performance under pep even when we were defeated 4-0 by Everton they had 4 shots on target and us 5. Ever since Pep has been here have we ever lost and thought ederson was our best player like today? The players that played today ought to be ashamed of themselves.
 
No leaders on the pitch. City just flat resigned and accepted Villa was the better team ... how the feck did this happen? Most embarrasing performance for a long long time. Haaland looked too.
 
It's great seeing us shit again. Hopefully lose some glory supporters.

This season reminds me of 19/20, where we dropped off massively after our best ever season at the time. Same again, Liverpool came back a wounded animal, this time the Arsenal have. Arsenal and Liverpool title race this year, they are 2 best teams.

Our only hope is win 4 or 5 in a row now and get Kevin back. Erling hasn't looked interested in ages, his body language stinks.
 
Oh well can’t win every game but you’d like to at least see a half decent performance tonight was pathetic,villa showed more desire and determination and deserved the win,we have unfortunately signed a few players who just aren’t good enough for what we want to achieve and that’s winning trophies..
 
Phillips, Lewis, stones, kovacic and nunes
Our midfield options are absolutely shit, with no goals in them
Walker and Alvarez being accommodated and ruining team balance
Gvardiol At left back when he is a central defender
No ake
Haaland making runs but noone in that team is good enough to find him
Recruitment has been wank and were getting worse here
villa should have won 5-0
 
Expected. We build our game based on Rodri, which is logical because the guy never gets injured, so I don't think is a flaw of our system. Despite being an awful match, I don't think is useful to get any conclusions in a Rodri-less City at the hardest away match in PL right now.

I feel there is gonna be tremendous overreaction here, so I just want to give some facts:

- Last season we were very fragile defensively before mid-January.
- We were 8/9 points behind Arsenal.
- Arsenal and Liverpool haven't played between them, so being 6 points behind is not true at all.
- From the next 11 fixtures, the only difficult one is Newcastle away (maybe Brentford away would be the second hardest). Perfect time to build a run and to reintegrate KDB to our team.

I understand the people who are worried (although I am pretty relaxed), but let's not overreact that much.
