Aston Villa PL (A) | Man of the Match

[RayCTID]

The keeper will get the vote but Phil's goal has given a little more encouragement that we are getting little more confidence back in our play. The way we have conceded is excatly the same when we are fully in our pomp. Grealish was decent too.

 

[Ric]

Grealish had a really bright first half, but faded badly in the second. Foden, Akanji and Lewis the only other outfield players who looked like they really cared, and it was a decent cameo from Savio. Gone for Ortega though, because it would have been worse but for him, and he wasn't at fault for either goal.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Rico? Seriously?

Yeah, did his job at both full backs. Popped up in midfield in space occasionally, which is more than any of our actual midfielders managed.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Ortega by a mile.

Grealish played ok first half but was completely invisible second and his end product was as wank as usual.

Foden was ok ish first half.
Akanji tried hard

Kovacic/Haaland/Stones/Lewis/Gvardial and Walker all dreadful.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Ortega.

Genuinely forgot Bernardo played until I saw the list.

 

[spiny]

Ortega saved City from the start but a vote for Phil as the only player trying to score. Is there any reason no-one wants to pass the ball to Erling?

 

[PragueBlue]

Grealish had a really bright first half, but faded badly in the second.

We seemed to change tactics at half-time and stopped switching the play to him as we'd done first half. Strange decision with Cash already on a yellow.

 

[SS2dan]

The player's look they can't be arsed so none of them all plaudits should 100 per cent should go to our supporters

 

[bearcityblu]

Ortega for keeping us in the game first 5 mins.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Grealish had a top first half.

Tielemans was the best player on the pitch though.

 

[city68]

Ortega

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Rico? He was pathetic again.

Nurse....NURSE !!

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Akanji = Steffan
Rico = Phil

 

[bellwhaft]

What was most worrying to me was that we were beasted by some youngish athletic Villa midfielders. An area of the pitch where we were a cut above any other team in the world for years.

 

[bellsouth]

Phil, the only one in the 2nd half that looked half arsed

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Akanji = Steffan
Rico = Phil

A bit too cryptic for me.
The 6 pints of Beamish may be affecting my brain though

 

[Newman Noggs]

 

[MichaelBBack]

Ortega the only one who did what was asked of him for the full 90, so he's the easy pick.

Jack had a very good first half. Phil some nice glimpses, plus the goal of course. Nobody else did anything of note for me.

 

[bennyboy]

Fair play to the Jack fan boys for sticking by their man again in the voting.lol.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Ortega for the first two minutes. After that utter dross from everyone.
