Match Thread | Aston Villa vs Man City (21/04/21)

[Metalartin]

Those making a big deal about how late it was are forgetting how close it was in real time, he just got beat to the ball. Should probably have just let him have it but then people would be saying he's too passive if led to anything. Weren't Sky saying the Leeds player "has to go for that" even though his was much worse with two feet off the ground? I'm not going to dig him out too much for that, lets hope it's a one off.

Fancy us to get another

Goal or red card?

Everyone feeling nice and relaxed then?

I dont fancy us defending our area for 45 mins.

If it’s skunk I’m coming round :)

Laporte for Jesus.

Give Villa's centre halves nobody to mark and then being a man down doesn't matter.

Plus Mahrez controls the ball instantly better than anyone

Unfortunate red card. Lads just need to stay focused till the end.

Stones has been brilliant this season. Not been great for a couple of games but I’m hoping he’ll return to his best. Just needs to believe in himself.

Arguably, he has been one of the best, if not the best defender in Europe this season. Can only wish for a resurgence from him.

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Some saying red card was similar to the Leeds one?
Nothing like it,Cooper followed through unnecessarily to inflict damage to Gabby, Stones mistimed his tackle.

 

[SWP's back]

If we lose this now Stones wants fucking

That would cheer him up, good point.

Okay touches him twice then still fucking stupid

Like when he was pushing the Dortmund player in the chest and he was very lucky to get away with that.

We’ll win this with 9 players there shite laporte will be on Foden will score my prediction

Let’s hope so -ironically we may get more space
