Aston Villa (H) Post-Match Thread

They defiantly gave it a go, a lot more than many teams do and more in the first half than second, but that was probably because we played better second than first and they were knackered. They'll be ok this season

We were far better in that second half and that early goal was needed.

Well I hope domi doesn`t use one from The Etihad otherwise he could quite easily decapitate me. ;)

Dom will likely sharpen his pie dish... ;-)

In your opinion.

No, not really.

In every measurable metric - possession, territory, types of pass, Aston Villa defended as deep as possible and chose to hoof the ball long to Wesley whenever they won the ball back in the hopes of starting a counterattack. A tactic referred to as "parking the bus"

I thought it was called a “Mourinho Masterclass”?

You state that they only had x amount of possession our half in that first halve.
Ever thought that it could be because they couldn`t really get the ball of us.As much possession as we had they had the better chance in that half ... even taking away Merlins poor miss.

Three things stood out for me today.

Great player though Gabi is, he's not as clinical as Kun.

Cancelo is a way better footballer than Walker

and Foden should be above DS in the pecking order.
