Aston Villa (A) - Post-Match Thread

[K-Bo]

2nd half was a bit crap but 1st half was class and it’s always a good win against a team in form

Excellent performance and win given the circumstances: injuries, fatigue and Dean.

Credit to Ake, Zinchenko and Ferna. And to Sterling who had a great 1st half. Dias is Dias, best in the world.

to be fair it was shoulder on shoulder, Zinchenko needed to be stonger there

Wouldn't know nobody is showing it

Originally I thought it was a blatant foul, After seen the replays it was more shoulder to shoulder and he should of been stronger. Nine times out of ten they are given as a foul for whatever reason but I think it was a fair shoulder to shoulder.

Every challenge like that, we were punished.

Gerrard is a very unlikeable character.

Only just realised that?

He's no better a human being than Joey Barton. Unpleasant scouse scumbags.

Gerrard is a very unlikeable character.

I think you are being a bit underwhelming there ;-)
He clearly is a slippery scouse **** who knows he handed us the title and will never ever forget it.

I'm never one to go on about referees, but what the actual fuck was that from Mike Dean? :-/ It was an absolute piss take & Dean needs to be investigated.

Did he have money on a Villa win at Corals? Did Villa gangsters kidnap his family, & threaten to mail them back to him slice by slice unless he threw the match? That has got to be one of the worst refereeing performances I've seen in recent times.

In the first 25 minutes, we chewed Villa up & shat them out, but yet again how many times did Mahrez or Sterling get into a crossing position, & there was no one in the box? Even when we're not playing well, the one thing we could always count on was City scoring goals. Thank fuck for our defence this season.

Fern was brilliant in the first half, but he expectedly tired in the second, & started to make stray passes & rash challenges. Sterling seems to be getting better with every passing game & his confidence & swagger seem to be returning.

I was pleased for Aké & Zin. Both had solid games & added to a solid team performance. What a strike from Dias hey? But the last word has to go to Silva, what a fuckin goal that was!! :-)

Onwards & upwards.

Yeah, that’s what I was referring to. Think he was being a bit disingenuous.

A fucking dIpper telling lies are you sure ?

sterling was poor with no end product and he turns himself inside out and falls over

Thought he was good in the first half but second half he was as you described. Had a good chance to pass in the box towards the end but lost the ball.
