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

[super_city_si]

Just way too lightweight.

 

[Gabriel]

I’m sure you’re right about Doku but I wish Pep would use Cherki. He has the quality that Savinho and Doku lack.

We’d be better with him through the middle, where we lack someone who can weight the pass properly. He’s just not match fit.

 

[King Jay]

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.

Haaland is literally the only player in box surrounded by 4-5 players so who is savinho supposed to find there? We are playing Villa not some lower PL team

 

[heslops barnet]

CB at LB, midfielder at RB, 2 mid table quality players on the wings and just 1 goalscorer in the team who just missec a great chance. Top 4 is our battle this season given the lack of quality in our squad

A case of win one, lose one this season I’m afraid

 

[pudge]

Weak as piss attempts for the ball from everyone so far

 

[Cuban heels]

Is Foden playing ?

 

[East Level 2]

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?

Block the shot perhaps?

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Wrong set up from pep as predicted. Just change it

Terrible line up

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Bobb been awful

Cherki half time surely

 

[RayCTID]

Just not quite got the weight of pass. Got to keep plugging away.

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

savinho couldn't cross the fuc#ing road

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Was it not offside before the corner?

Theyre never giving that

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

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

Apart from the first game he's been shite.

 

[Norbert D]

Foden back to Mr Invisible

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Everytime its the long ball over our 'midfield' and they win it

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Oscar is bobbins

 

[Cobwebcat]

We never seem to get a win with no recognised DM….even if we play well.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

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

He’s fucking dump.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

The wide players in our squad are the issue, their output isnt good enough.

100% correct.

Savinho 3 crosses so far which I've counted.

Straight to goalkeeper
Out of play
Cut back to absolutely nobody

Bobb barely involved.

Longing for the days of Mahrez and co...

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Bobb is really struggling defensively
