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

pep will eat their balls
1-3 city

After our second half in the derby, I wouldn't count on it.

Saying that, and despite how abject we are at defending as a team, we are getting a little joy. Grealish is having a good game.

Going exactly as I knew it would, plenty of possession, no threat and Villa will inevitably get a second on the break or when we fuck up

on pep again this
Change the midfield or keep losing
Gundo , kovacic, bernado and Lewis offer nothing at
Just keeps playing them
Apalling again, but we expect it now

 

[MCFC1993]

Brilliant support !

I love the team, players and manager. It's not going against them to say it's playing out exactly as expected. They've been better, it's just realism.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

It genuinely feels like we're trying, and the lads haven't given up on Pep. But fucks all seems to go our way at present.

Corners are abysmal, I'll concede that. He isn't going to change it drastically how we play, so it just might be down to the lads getting a bit of confidence from somewhere, somehow.

We're still in this. Kev and Doku could be key from the bench if they're needed. But I don't think we can afford to go 2-0 down.

Gundogan should never start again, he is totally done at this level. why not just give mcatee a chance

 

[Chak19]

Btw can someone tell who is playing on the right wing ?

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Buy Onana. We need a midfield.

He’s a crap goalie FFS

 

[vicblueman]

The manager is the problem not just the players during this drop off .
Regardless of the success we have achieved he doesnt have a divine right for no criticism.

I thought we played ok but only really when Villa scored and sat back. I think if Villa had kept playing they would have caused us lots of problems.

The start was a fucking joke and that save was brilliant.

The goal once again was too easy. What Stones doing today I don’t know but that must be on Pep.

Grealish playing well but his end product is still lacking on the whole bar one good cross.

Bernado and Haaland absolutely invisible.
