Aston Villa (H) | PL | Post-match Thread

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

That's more like it you beautiful blue buggers! Ooh and a cheeky deep sea diver on 4-1 at 16s. Nice ;-)

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I can smell a run coming together…..

Brilliant performance from soup to nuts (as the yanks say).
So many great performances Foden, Rodri, Lewis, Gvardiol, Akanji, Ortega….Doku, Grealish

Villa were good but we were on another level for much of that, really high energy performance

Great win City!!! Bring on Sat…

Pep giving KDB & big Erl a night off, letting little Phil room to shine in the middle.

 

[Stoned Rose]

“Scattoh”.

 

[Legal Alien]

That performance was exactly what we needed for the run in.

There were some great performances tonight and no one had a bad game.

Well played CITY!

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Nothing new then.

Only been one once or twice, and then said I wouldn’t bother. Some of the gubbins that is spouted. If they’re Blues I presume they won’t watch us from now on.

 

[Gobshiight]

Foden surely has to be first choice in the middle now

I think the time has come for him to be the main man

 

[BlueDan91]

Doku, Grealish, Rodri, Gvardiol and Foden all absolutely brilliant.

Good performances by the rest if not a few lapses in concentration.

Keep the momentum!

[TinFoilHat]

Shit on the Villa
Shit on the Villa tonight

 

[fathellensbellend]

Foden in the middle, all the time,no arguments

 

[Lavinda Past]

Tonight brought back memories of the night we beat West Brom 4-1 and the rags unexpectedly lost at Wigan...

Looking forward to Sheffield United turning the dippers over tomorrow night now!

 

[The Blue Eh]

Well done you beautiful blue boys!

Payback is a dish best served with a side of a Foden hattrick.

On to tear Palace a new one!

 

[ThreesKompany]

Key guys got some rest. Comfortable win. Some very bright performances. Only negative was not getting 1 or 2 more but that's just being greedy.

 

[vanchi]

i believe there’s a reset after the palace game and rodri’s yellow cards count is 8 so congrats to rodri for avoiding a 2 games suspension.

statement win, keep them coming.

 

[simon23]

great performance.

Foden should play centrally all the time....and that comes down to whether Pep thinks the team is ok for him and KDB to be in those central positions - a huge conversation is on the horizon about this.

Akanji - brilliant along with Rico Lewis - the only issue with Rico is that when he plays we look more wide open.

Doku has come in for some much undeserved stick from fans - thought he played very well

Rodri commanding as ever

Grealish!! - bloody shoot lad! good game but needs to be adding an attacking threat

Ortega - lookslike his distribution is getting better - never any doubt about his shot stopping which is probably better than Edersons at present.

Team has shown it doesnt need to rely on Haaland for goals - players need to take that responsibility when he is on the pitch as well as when he isnt.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Far better tonight from City, Phil sensational again, backed up by Rico who was also class. Bernardo needs a rest not on it at all and Alvarez can never fill in for Haaland. Big win this now on to Palace

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I thought Lewis was fantastic. He’s played his way into the first team for me.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Doku and ortega had a fantastic game .
Electric phil is out of this world , what a player
All of his goals was top world class
