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

[christened at st marks]

Reindeers hopeless as DM, Bobb and Savio offering nothing, Haaland starved, they know Phil is the only source and controlling it Pep needs to change it but he wont

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Shit team selection

 

[kanovic]

and...Gvardiol was great at CB at the end of last season so Pep sticks him back out at LB where he has not looked nearly as good since he came back into the side

He should never play Lb when we have Nico who has played very very well there. Buttt let’s change it up for no reason

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Was the attack for their corner that led to the goal not offside looked well off

 

[willipp]

Pick the fucking bones out of that. Jesus that was bad. No fight, no press, no second balls won, no desire to go forward and on the few occasions we have got into decent areas we’ve been dogshit.

Bobb surely isn’t a footballer. Foden fucking hiding for 45 minutes, savinho just gives it away and then we have nothing else going forward. Bobbins that.

 

[Damien10]

Doku for Savhnio, Cherki for Bobb. And allow Cherki and Foden freedom to switch at will.

 

[dickie davies]

After starting the game quite well we've fallen away badly and are slightly fortunate to only have conceded one
Too many are having a poor day, Foden, Savinho, Gvardiol and Bobb to name just four
Someone has got to grab this game by the scruff of the neck

 

[flook]

well that was predictably shit

 

[Semper aggressus]

Bunch of fanny wipes in here. Can't take the fact that we're getting out muscled, out managed and out played by an average villa team. Wind your necks in you pussies. We won the league two years ago, entitled bastards.

Fuck off dickhead.

 

[hertsblue]

Ref is a wanker. Haaland should have scored but that midfield doesn't work so far. Bobb with zero impact again when he starts.

Just isn't good enough for us, same as Savinho. Need wingers with end product

 

[pride in battle]

Savinho offering fuck all barring mouthing off to his teammates when he misplaces a pass. Can see why the non playing staff think he’s a prick. Needs subbing, as does Bobb.

Non playing staff ?

 

[Gibblue]

We are good on our day but our overall softness throughout the squad will always invite a battle from worse teams that are up for a tackle.

Arsenal get through these kinds of games because they have players that are up for the fight

 

[Gordyola]

How can pep not see were getting fucking ran through like Katie price at times? Cherki and kova/nico on at HT needs to happen ffs

Yep but how did he not know that would be the case he picked the team

 

[stablemcfc]

Do we have defensive coaches at our club, we are so fucking soft it’s unbelievable

6 clean sheets in our last 9 games.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Physically inferior.

Can still rescue it but subs are required, which he’s obviously reluctant to do at half time.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Pep's tactics are for possession based football, but without any players that can keep possession at the moment.

I said in the pre match thread you can’t play Bernardo in midfield against McGinn and Onana. It needs a physical presence and legs like O’Reilly.

We’re still in the game just needs the right changes.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Rodrygo on the bench again for Madrid for El Classico today.

Still can’t wrap my mind around how I’m watching Savinho and Bobb do &uck all on the wings in big games as he sits on a bench in Spain all season.

I don’t clarify this as a "big game" - which is a bigger concern for me.

 

[Stuuuuuu]

Bunch of fanny wipes in here. Can't take the fact that we're getting out muscled, out managed and out played by an average villa team. Wind your necks in you pussies. We won the league two years ago, entitled bastards.

OK, so it's not the end of the world BUT we'd like to see an effort from City and we'd prefer to win the game, if that's OK with you?

Hopefully a stern word and a bit of finger-pointing at half time and a better second half...

 

[Sky Blue]

Wish Dias would fuck off with that turning his back on the ball thing he does with hands behind his back.

Oliver wank as usual. Need Bobb off as lightweight and offering nothing.

Oh, Hinchcliffe is a ****.

 

[Double R]

We were up against it as soon as Andy 'hes got to do better there' Hinchcliffe was announced as commentator.
