Match Thread | Aston Villa vs Man City (06/12/23)

[LongsightM13]

funny thing about the matchday thread - its littered with people who are superior coaches to Pep and offer all their advices which I am sure he is grateful for having only won 5 PL titles, 2 FA Cups, 4 EFL Cups, 2 Charity Shields the Champions League and Super Cup he has no idea what he is doings - some heads need a right fucking wobble

He is human and just as prone to our inherent human faults of stupidity and stubbornness as all of us are
Want to talk about his first season?
Or his years of intellectual suicide in the champions league?
Love the man. He is amazing, the best of all time. A true City legend. Deserves a stand named after him.
But he isn’t infallible
We’re not from Merseyside, we don’t shy away from reality of what we see with our own eyes
Lillo turning up again and us suddenly looking lost is possibly a more valid debate

Part of the problem is that the small nucleus of high standard players are all likely to be internationals and regularly playing in other games. Plus the WC was halfway through last season so many players got bugger all breaks unless they were injured.
We need a bigger squad due to the demands on the players.

But can we keep a bigger squad happy? It really is a dilemma.

I love the optimism but what I am seeing on the pitch does not say league winners. It can all change obviously.

what you are seeing will not be the same come new year when players are back from injury

Is Walker the thickest footballer on earth?

Wildly frustrating.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Based on what...? He was the MOTM in the Super Cup weeks prior to being sold.

So? Doku was MOTM and had even the media raving about him a few weeks ago. Haven’t seen his so called world class playing since in my opinion. Every player can have world class excellent games but not every game and Palmer is just the same. IMHO

Akanji seems to be the one where Stones was. Stones now at CB

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Not sure with these small-time idiots keep booing Foden?

 

[GornikDaze]

Better!!

 

[Bluearmy]

Nunes and Kovacic aren't even out there and you're blaming them, lol.

He’s got a point!! Were playing 2 defenders in midfield in front of them. That says a lot
