Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

The voice of sense reason & facts -

From minute 2 to 45 we were the better team, playing the better football.

1 mistake,1 pass,1nil !!

If Josko had equalised with his header it wouldve been deserved.

Our stats were good,Villa couldnt get out but we didnt punish them from good shooting positions.

For the second half Dick changed things for vanilla but Pep didnt make the changes City needed.

Gundo shouldve been replaced by Jack with Dok or Sav playing left against a full back on a yellow card.

They started to over run us in midfield where Jack could've added pace,power and creativity ( remember notts forest 3 weeks ago).

Subs were needed

3 weak challenges preceeding their 2nd goal

He is championship quality at best. I could run around the pitch like a dog busting for a piss.
If we are relying on this lad to save our season we are well and truly fucked. He is weak in the tackle, doesn't make a killer pass and is tactically all over the place!!

The club should have it enough about it see there was a player there and kept hold of him.

Same goes for Palmer, Lavia, THB.

Whoever is making these mental decisions wants fucking off.

Keep them for a rainy day 2 or 3 seasons down the line?

Madness this.

Not one person was crying out for any of the above to play weekly instead of the regulars until this season when they’re now out of form.

And no one even asks if those above would be willing to sit in the under 23’s etc for 2 or 3 seasons waiting on their chance.

Hindsight is such a wonderful thing. And bollocks.

I find it so daft that fans are arguing against the need for Pep to change things & be pragmatic with his strategy, selection & tactics based on the players available. I don't think that Pep needs to go or to change his principles indefinitely, but to think he should persist as is, with the same players unable to play as he wants is absurd. He should adapt & change how we play, change the personnel, to make us harder to beat, UNTIL HE GETS THE PLAYERS AVAILABLE TO EFFECTIVELY PLAY HOW HE WANTS. Whether that be through injury recovery or the transfer windows, it doesn't matter - the current, available, squad aren't able to play how he wants and get results, so he should change how we play.

** First post continued -:

....3 weak challenges preceding their 2nd goal when the sub changes should have already been made at least 15 minutes earlier ,if not at half time !!

2 - nil had been coming and we didnt do amything about it.

When the subs were eventually made late in the game, we did create and threaten more than at anytime in the previous 35 minutes.

Imo, very disappointing game management.

Onwards and upwards....or downwards and remember

" City are back,City are back" &

"We never win at home and we never win away".

CTWD.

I don’t think we were the better team at any point as we carried no threat. Agree Gvardiol should score but beyond that we didn’t look like scoring. Villa were comfortable at every stage of the game and could’ve scored more but for Ortega. They won every tackle that mattered. We are so easy to play against it’s scary.

Totally agree mate, get back to basics. Quite simply, don't concede a goal for a start. If you don't concede you have a chance of winning the game and have something to build on. We can't keep playing in a way which almost guarantees the opposition - whoever they are - simple chances in every game.

I honestly think that some managers know how we're going to play and they've all pretty much cracked it. Against Everton, sit deeper, protect the back 4 and take it from there and lets' start to play for 1-0 wins. I know it won't be pretty but if you play like that, you will build and learn how to grind wins out and when we get back on form we will be able to go to the likes of Real/PSG etc and grind.

I'd say all managers know how we are going to play as we have been playing this way for a number of seasons. Sadly aren't able to carry out the plan anymore, it's not working with the current state of the personnel we have.
 
Went yesterday my first away game of the season. Great day out drinking but paying the price this morning. Couldn't believe how much moaning and insults directed at the players and Pep there were. It's only a few months ago they were lifting the PL trophy for the 4th consecutive season. Please remember that.
Also singing "we're fcking shit" is insulting to these players and manager who've won everything at City.
Rant over now where's those paracetamol
