Aston Villa (A) - Post-Match Thread

We score enough to win games, just, but we create a lot of chances that go begging, and someone like Sergio would be filling his boots with the chances that appear in the oppo penalty and goal areas.

That Jesus chance highlights this perfectly. A great turn but an absolutely woeful finish. He had done the hard part and from there it was harder to miss than score, but miss he did and badly. That would have made it 3-1, took the wind out of their sails and game over. Gabby is a good player, skilful, chips in with goals and puts in a great shift, but our answer upfront he isn't.

city fans booing Paul Dichov, no different to villa fans, glass houses an' all that

Its plenty different.

Grealish has shown nothing but respect to the club that he dragged almost single handedly into the Prem,while Dickov was kissing their fucking badge.

There isn’t another sport in the world where one team could be so dominant for so long and the result still in doubt until the very last second, which is very true , although the result was in doubt, our game management was superb and we deserved the win.

Bernardo, the talent, the technique, unreal. That is so difficult to do at pace and he made it look easy. If it wasn't for Salah he would be walking player of the season atm.

Thought Sterling had a decent game, he is returning to form, Cancelo is strangely a better left back than right back, Zincho did well though and Rodri was once again superb.

There is no other team in England who would have scored that first goal from Ruben because CBs do not have the freedom to roam that ours have and it was a tidy finish too.

Considering who we had missing, it was a good performance, if we can keep this run going we will be in a very good position in the new year and we will have players returning.

I am assuming with Cancelo it’s the cutting in on his right foot that causes seemingly more danger created from left back than right back? I use the word “back” somewhat superfluously

Was fearful after the 1st half we would get a 4 or

As Villa fans are we supposed to be happy about losing our best players to city all the time ? ie Barry , Milner, Delph , Grealish ? How are we supposed to build a team to compete if this keeps happening? City didn’t need Grealish .It’s easy for city fans to applaud ex players as when you move players on you are bringing in world class players to replace. UTV

It is no easier for us to applaud/boo ex players than it us for you, the difference is we aren’t cunts. And in terms of investment you were one of the teams who voted for FFP which means you will NEVER have what we have! Get used to your existence as an at best mid table yo yo club with a fan base with absolutely no class. Utter cunts at Wembley almost to a man/woman as my 11 year old could testify. Booooo boooo boooo

SWP got a standing ovation when he returned for Chelsea.

I would take Ollie Watkins over Raz & Jesus at city. Thought he was a constant pain to us last night. Very good player & physically strong striker. He would score for fun at city

8 games in December.

We'll win the fucking lot.

This will be pedal to the metal time. Similar period last year saw us create a gap while others were erratic, if I recall.
Get on a roll and keep going.

Yes agree that was a bad miss, the difference is Sergio nearly always got those on target, Jesus nearly always misses the target or has a weak shot.

It just stems from jealousy, a natural human reaction.

That doesn’t explain why the villa fans are such cunts, maybe it’s a reaction to their cuntish accent
