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

This team is absolutely woeful. We offer nothing in attack or defence. We can point to injuries (obviously played a part) but we seemingly lack ideas. This looks like a team that does zero work on the training pitch. I don’t recognise any patterns of play. I don’t recognise this team.

 

[Gumzy97]

The problem is Pep is trying to play his football with players that can't anymore. He needs new players that can play his way.

We’ve brought savinho on now to hide on the byline. Great sub

Been a while since city ruined a Christmas.

Christ the memories. So many here are experiencing it for the first time

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

This midfield is way past life support and I don't see how Pep can't see it???

 

[paulchapo]

If he's sways in the wind he wins 2 out of 5 leagues, if he is "stubborn" he wins 4 out of 5. Which would you prefer?

We're not talking long term we're talking here and now, with loads of injuries.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

If we get found guilty they won’t need to relegate us. We’ll manage that by ourselves.

Only team ever to be relegated as champions.


Could make it twice!

 

[applejuice]

Not in the slightest. They haven't had it all their own way. We had better chances this time around.

Really?

 

[Dax777]

Not without foundation

The throw was dumb. It put us under undue pressure. Nor to mention he telegraphed it

It was dumb.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Not a comparable example is it. Its the NOW where he is failing

Of course it is. He doesn't change his play for anyone and that brings success, but success doesn't happen every season. If he had changed our tactics in previous seasons because we looked poor we wouldn't have won. The machine is broken but some on this sub would have us get a sledgehammer out to fix it.
