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

Pep: “My feeling is we will win the Premier League”

The reality: 3 points from the last 12 available, no wins in 4. Below Villa and pretty much on a par with Utd in a top 4 fight.

Pep didn’t say in which season we will win it again though.

Three points better off than the worst United side I have ever seen

It’s crazy.

Dippers won, Rags winning, City losing the plot. What a fucking night.

The Moyes side was worse.

Josko Mangala needs to spend some time on the bench. I feel like Ake is always a better choice.

How can a team look so open in defence yet offer fuck all going forwards. Feels like we have less players on the pitch

 

[Blu1]

Not sure what more Pep can do with the players available and how out of form we are, missing Grealish and Rodri after getting stupid bookings, clearly no trust in Phillips, Kovacic and Nunes as they never start. KDB and Doku missing.

If anyone is to blame for the way we are playing this season is those recruiting. Players allowed to leave without decent replacements, Doku the only real high light. We are weaker this season with he injured and departed players missing.

There was a time when we had a second string or at least a full bench that would give half the league a game, it's now not the case.

Make it difficult for teams & not leave us wide open in midfield. That’s what’s cost us for weeks. Alvarez should not be starting games & an extra midfielder should be in his place for me anyway

Villa have been better in every position. They are a very good team but weve continued playing like we did second half against spurs

 

[bellsouth]

Villa have been excellent to be fair
