Match Thread | Aston Villa vs. Man City (21/12/24)

I’m sorry but I’ve thought it for some time-we are a dead team.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Mental first 30 seconds and Stones’ ridiculous decision making for their first aside we were better than of late that half imo.

Jack has been very good. Best he’s been for ages. Needs to get Cash sent off / get a penalty out of him.

We are fucking desperate for another goalscorer.

This game is there for me. Next goal vital.

Slow rubbish diagonal to Grealish, slow rubbish diagonal to Grealish, slow rubbish diagonal to Grealish...

Well… picking out the positives… I actually think this is better than our last trip to Villa Park.

That said, I just don’t know where goals are going to come from in this team at the moment. We are usually an “attack is the best form of defence” kind of team but when the bottom falls out of the attack the whole thing comes down like a house of cards. We can’t even get it anywhere close to Haaland so his presence seems largely pointless until we can figure out how to actually get him in the game.

Lucky to be only 1-0 down

That’s the spirit!

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Rico having a decent game, but as a team we look terrified out of possession

And our formation is continuing to kill us.

Whilst their goal was excellent from their perspective, it was suicide pressing from us that allowed it to come together.

FFs Gvardiol you have to score.

It was just too high

 

[Ghost of 76]

I'd like to see Doku come on against Cash now, he's sure to get him a 2nd yellow

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I don't think it has been as bad as some are making out, ignoring the disaster of the first two minutes. We are creating chances, just not scoring them. Story of our season. Teams have always been able to score that goal against us, just in seasons past we'd win the game 3-1.

Just feel like all our forward line have been Space Jammed. Need Buggs Bunny to sort it out.

I’m sorry but I’ve thought it for some time-we are a dead team.

Nothing we can do
