Not massively arsed, team a bit 'mix and match' ,whereas their line up resembled more their 1st team. Played okay, they were on top 1st half we were the better team after the break without creating enough.
Of the kids,thought Edozie looked good as did Cole, not quite so sure about Knight though!
No complaints about pen, but on another day we could have got that one In the 1st half!
Even though I've had a good run of games without losing when I actually see us 'properly live' ,we just seem to lose 1:0 when I decide to watch us live on the box!

Your a f*ckng jinx :)

In shootouts we’re impeccable, it’s so weird.

Perhaps we need our penalty taker to walk up from the half way line in ingame penalties.

I like that idea, maybe the rest of the team could also stand on the halfway line with their arms round each others shoulders!!

A brief post match perusal on Twitter has led me to one conclusion. Some Villa fans are being total twats. It’s like that game was the champions league final and that was our first team.

Who gives a fuck what villa fans think?

First half we looked what we were - very rusty. Second half we found our feet and were on top most of the time without being too threatening. Edozie was overawed first half but showed some of what he can do in the second. Palmer was very good when he switched from the right after the subs. Grealish is going to have to work harder on getting free kicks now he's at football's "enemy club".

No argument with the pen, Ake made a mess of the challenge but Rodri's back passes are sloppy at times.

State of some of these comments...think I’ll give the match day threads a wide berth this season.

Or you could just ignore the ones that irritate you like most people, and post your own opinions about the game where and when you see fit.

I'll never understand the people on here who constantly whine about game day and post match threads. It's boring and pedantic as all fuck. Opinion during game day is often emotional. It's often negative. It's often overly critical. That's football, and it's not specific to us - get used to it.

Did you watch it on telly at home ?

just coming back from Wembley we never had a shot on target as we had no striker

it’s not being a cockwomble to say it’s ok having all the midfielders you want if we don’t have anyone in the middle to put it on the bet

kasper never had a save to make

Enjoy antiques roadshow I have got a long journey home

Usual huge over reaction on here. Look at the 2 teams Leicester were at full strength as far as they could be.

City looked leggy which is to be expected given the same players are the only ones to play in pre-seaon. Leicester have had next to no players playing in summer tournaments and would have benefitted from more build up conditioning.

In spite of that we still controlled most of the game and would have won with that extra sharpness this game will give us

Pep unlike posters on here can see the bigger picture of the benefit of not rushing back many of our players.

It will be a tricky start to the season but we will benefit from the strategy as we did last season in the long run

True but a game with
Mahrez
Gundog
Fernandinho
Dias
Cancelo
Torres
All starting with
Mendy
Ake

we hardly played our reserves, shows to me that the depth thats massively spoken of isn’t as great. Not just because of today but quite a few times last year the second we dropped a few players then the players coming in weren’t quite good enough. We won the league last year but I imagine ake and Torres actual win percentage when starting won’t be overly high. Gutted we lost as I always want to win, isn’t the end of the world though

We have to have a lb in the academy better than Mendy

What on earth did he do today to merit that comment ? Going forward he was excellent. Defensively he's not great but don't recall any serious errors. Overall he was far better than most City players today.

Sounds like a fantastic opening song line.
