Match Thread | Aston Villa vs Man City (03/09/22)

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

0 shots on target... whole team not at it. Should get Alvarez on and then Grealish.

Alvarez shoudlnt of been benched in first place. Was amazing vs forest

 

[jollylescott]

Maybe even a hint of complacency in that half. We are not working hard enough on and off the ball.

He needs benching...that will sort him. He can't afford to warm a bench on the run up to the world cup.

Do you think he cares? That's the problem these days you have a young lad who is a multi millionaire, he has won prem league Cup fa Cup where does the motivation come from?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Walker and De Bruyne, in particular, playing selfishlessly.

The right call would have been Alvarez retaining his spot at the expense of Kev, who seems to want to drive everything.

Bernie, Foden and Gundo are not in the game as a result, failing to get near the box.

Villa the better chances even though they are dire.

 

[SebastianBlue]

The effort is there, but severely lacking quality. No clear cut chances created.

From some there’s been effort — specifically Kev, Ilkay, Joao, and Erling. But most not showing much effort and most been sloppy, apart from John, Ruben, Erling, and Eddie.

Strangely, even though he hasn’t scored, I think Erling has been our best player.

 

[I'm Blue]

After that first half I’ll take 0-3

 

[Chi-town blues]

Bernie needs to play in the middle. Mahrez on right and alvarez left side .

 

[TheBlueCat]

You're not getting me to bite you WUM! :)

I’m sure he will step up :)

 

[01cravend]

Still waiting to see what we're like with Cancelo to RB, Gomez for Walker

 

[simon23]

foden and KDB stood out as the 2 worst players this half by some margin imo

Yup

KDB does this however....looks poor then suddenly picks it up a notch...

In fairness even Gundo hasnt been as good as normal.
