City vs Villa - post match thread

But it just shows how poor everyone else has been when we have been shockingly awful apart from the first 5-6 games and yet we still have a chance...

I agree..... fat lady sings and all that.

Not too much wrong with the first half, other than poor finishing. Second half the early goal was key and from there it was a bit of a stroll.

Would have been nice if Kelechi had been given the pen but Serg is designated taker and on hattrick so no surprise there.

Glad Garcia got on, he looked comfortable in his 10 mins.

Really?? Two saves from shots on target from Aguero, Aguero shoots just wide of near post, missed sitter by Bony. Could easily have been 3 or 4 up by half time. Not saying first half performance was great but we created chances. Good ones at that.

First half all I can remember was Gujan making 1 save from Aguero and that was "one for the cameras". Bony headed well wide twice from corners. Maybe I missed the other chances watching the pigeon flying around ?

Anyone else see the half time advert ? I thought I was sponsored by Nexen Tyres ! No highlights of the first half just an advert for a sponsor !

Sterling changed the game when he came on. I know we were 3 nil up, but his pace ensured we didnt just sit back and concede. He scored and helped us get a pen, brilliant.

You were. Bony had one on the plate and anyone would have scored that. Aguero had two more than decent saves from Guzan. Aguero shot one just wide.

The postponed Newcastle match hasn't been scheduled yet, has it?

I thought that the pace of the game, particullary in the first half simply played into Villa's hands. The pace we operate at for teams who clearly can't match us is woeful. Another five per cent up on the speed of pace, first time pass and we'd have had Villa on the ropes inside twenty minutes.

The match over the road and this one this afternoon were classic games of two halves. Grim first halves and much better second halves. But play like that against Kyiv and it's not foregone by a long chalk.
