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

[5 Hit Gibbon]

We have been playing relatively OK without threatening too much. They score with their first proper attempt after everyone stood off him.

Long way to go yet, if we can get the next goal then I think we can win it.

 

[Gray]

Is it just me, but I do not rate Tijani at all.

 

[Gesario]

1 shot on target…..you know the rest FFS

Rinse an repeat

 

[samuelyeboah]

there's nothing to be disheartened about we started well and we're still playing well and they literally scored a bullshit 1 in a million goal. frustrating but happens.

 

[PrezIke]

Awful defending there.

Was it? That ball was zipped in with pace, the touch was either brilliant, lucky or both and then hit the ball with pace across his body into the side netting.

What were we to do?

 

[MCFC1993]

Bernardo's had a great first 20mins.

 

[geek24601]

Terrible line up from Pep. Midfield so open.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Game over hahaha wtf

With a one man midfield of reijnders pretty much yes!

 

[pudge]

Get Bobb off

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

I blame the rain kit.

 

[drthingy]

I blame the kit

 

[I'm Blue]

Our crosses are fucking appalling.

 

[SamBlue]

The very moment they raised energy levels 5% we turned into a mediocre side we are.
Or to ease the pain, lets look at Villa as a beta version of Spurs, they play Man City Cup final.

Is it just me, but I do not rate Tijani at all.

Can’t rate someone who doesn’t even play in his best position . Same shit happened to Kovacic last season who had to play as a 6 and still got criticized despite not being one

 

[heslops barnet]

Our set pieces

We have set pieces?

 

[Micky Blue]

Is it just me, but I do not rate Tijani at all.

I think there’s a player in there.
Im hoping it’s a matter of time before it clicks.

But he’s not a holding player, he can’t do what Rodri does.
I know no one can do what Rodri does, but he’s not the same sort of player.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

awful from Bobb and Foden there

 

[dave_blue12]

Cherki isn’t a winger though

He can and has played on the wing and would be more dangerous than Savinho who has crossed 4/5 times already without finding a City player.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Terrible line up from Pep. Midfield so open.

Who would you have picked mate?

Oliver the utter ****
