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

[pbueno16]

Foden needs to get on the ball. He is invisible today.

Even when he gets it, he mishits his passes or gets overwhelmed by the pressure

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

McGinn is a diving embarrassment.

Commentators we're gaslighting us to fuck there

 

[chesterbells]

These lot played on Thursday 2 days after us and they've looked quicker and stronger as the half has gone on.

Yeah, look like they’ve had the odd extra red bull pre-match.

 

[samuelyeboah]

all primed for an attack in the last 15 seconds, ref is signaling he'll let the game go, but phil decides to stay on the ground for 5 more seconds for no reason. HT.

 

[MCFC1993]

Got to change the wide players, Villa are open at the back, just need better play in the final third.

 

[DMA's]

He's a horrible little snide.

Kind of player you’d love if played for your team though tbf

 

[Don Karleone]

Shite

 

[citytill1die84]

Oscar Bobb offers absolutely nothing.

 

[hilts]

First 12 minutes was good

 

[dubblue]

Pep has benched NOR, played without a midfield and put Gvardiol - who had been fantastic centrally - at left back and hung him out to dry.

Shocking tactics and needs sorting out at half time.

Yep just saying the same. It’s a really poor set up. He can’t fuck about and give it 15-20 mins as he usually does.

 

[Damanino]

Kolo and Lijnders has to have some input to Pep on tactics. this is poor so far. up the tempo, bring Cherki and bring Nico G too, push Bernardo deeper. Bobb ad Savinho cannot stay on either, both of them deffo not.

 

[Petetheblu]

Pretty sure that will change by season end. I can’t see any one getting within in 10 points of them personally

Im hoping you are wrong.

 

[argyle]

Doesn’t mean anything. We should be set up better than this. Kova is a better option in that role than Stones.

The balance is way off.

The injuries to the best defensive midfielder in the world mean nothing?

Honestly the people on this thread. Im amazed you're all not world class managers the way you all go on.

 

[Micky Blue]

Had to mute it. Does Hinchcliffe actually hate us?

It certainly seems that way.

 

[Gorbachev]

Let's hope that was our bad 45 mins we usually have in a game.

We won't win anything with Savio and Bobb as our wingers.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Had to mute it. Does Hinchcliffe actually hate us?

Have you never noticed? The answer is YES.

 

[Ezy]

Guessing first sub; 79

 

[kanovic]

We are miles away from title challengers

No we are not. If pep would stick with what works we have shown we can compete and even have a chance.. everyone that saw this lineup knew what would happen and that our midfield will get destroyed… this is on Pep

 

[CTIDANDREW]

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.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Theyre never giving that

I’m stood right in line with it and it was offside, so tell me why they are never giving it? I was a lot more in line than the lino
