Match Thread | Aston Villa vs. Manchester City (26/10/25)

What the hell have we bought over the last few seasons?. Really not good enough.

Bought totally the wrong type of players. Pace, strength and physicality are what dominates now. We're a bunch of lightweights - apart from Haaland and Donarumma. Foden outmuscled there.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Looked like Foden had a handful of the guys tripe there…

 

[waspish]

Tbh I think we have played piss poor and deserve fuck all from this game . A big cone down to earth and showing where we actually are in terms of challenging

Agree we not been on it for some reason and maybe that’s villa’s tactics there coaching! Pep been out couched in this game I’ve no argument if we lose this

 

[Chippy_boy]

Poor from Foden

He's had a(nother) dreadful game. Largely invisible and poor when not.

 

[YatesA]

Launch crosses, more effective than this dross

 

[Jwoody19]

I think Hinchcliffe is my new hate figure. He really fucking detests us doesn’t he

 

[borassic]

Honestly, they've proper played us here, GO DOWN PHIL!!!

 

[madloaf]

all our set pieces end in counters for them.

our set piece coach should be fired

If only we had one to fire

 

[bluemoon32]

We're just so average in so many ways, absolutely miles away from what we were.
Standards have dropped like a stone

 

[MellowJoe]

This has been dire, thankfully only about 10 mins to go

 

[mick10]

Just said the same, once a blue and all that…. Not with that ****

Well he is just happens to be Everton

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Proceeded to keep Savinho on for no reason

 

[paulchapo]

We could play until next week and not score.

Been saying it for ages.

The prem has changed. All this pass sideways is dead.

Frustrating game. Better than the last two seasons at Villa, but just not a performance of champions.

I don’t think so, they could’ve had 5 or 6 on another day, we’d be lucky with 1.

 

[malg]

I wouldn't say it's been a dirty game but there appears to have been a lot of cards

 

[pennblue]

It's not a fucking head injury when you block the ball with your face

 

[hertsblue]

So from our useless free kick set piece they break.

Just wtaf.

Pep is the problem, new players, new coaches and same shit on the pitch with set pieces and final third play

 

[wolviedinho]

Got to hope we have learned with Donna.

Stop buying second rate players. It’s not always going to work out.

head knock for that?...that guy is an absolute play acting bellend
