Aston Villa (H) - Post-Match Thread

Anyone posting ‘fair play to Neville’ over anything he’s said should always remember he’s a MASSIVE RAT ****!

Got to agree. Just before half time he said something like "when will city get back on form". We were 3-0 up! Tosser.

No disrespect to Haaland but Im happy if Alvarez starts. Sometimes Haaland hardly touches the ball.

Fucking hell, Haaland created two goals for Gundogan today, one incorrectly ruled out. Alvarez is a decent back up, but he's no comparison to to Haaland

how did Phil play when he came on???

Instantly looked for a backwards pass every time he got the ball . Never once looked to take a touch forward.

If he wasnt “one of our own” we’d be asking questions as to where his heads at

Great way to end a tough week. Prefer a back 4 though and think we’re a better defence without Akanji.

Akanji flatters to deceive. He kind of looks okay but is often culpable on goals conceded. For 15 million and a fourth choice center half he's fine, but he's not a first choice and needs to be on the bench for the rest of the season barring injuries.

First half was a lot better passing and deserved more than the 3 goals.

Second half was a bit like the season in patches, take foot off the gas and coast along.

Roll on Wednesday.

I'm on holiday so saw it on the box. Looked to me that Erling was slightly impeded in his run. If not for that he would have arrived a split second before the goalie. But as it was it was 50/50. So in my opinion ref should have played on and goal should have stood.

Agreed. I’d have given the goal mate.

Any other day and that finishes 3-3, got lucky second half.

Except Mahrez really should have scored. What on earth was that shot?!

 

[Lavinda Past]

First half, very good.

Second half, meh.

Villa, 3-0 down, play 6 men at the back. And there was me thinking football was dead...

Three points, onwards and upwards. That's all that matters.

I thought he was pretty poor when he came on, particularly defensively. Not sure why he and Mahrez switched wings either.
