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

[City10.]

NO CHANGES?!?!?!?????!!! Crazy even by Peps standards

 

[Robanompivenov]

Last 2 league games Haaland has been played in by Cherki twice and today Foden. Wonderful passes which Haaland has wasted. No doubt he's a great goalscorer but Messi probably scores 3.

Of all the people to have a moan about for anything, the guy who's scored in all but one games so far this season isn't the one to go at.

 

[wolviedinho]

First half was as fluent as we have been all season, but once the game changes we don’t have the players with the character change the game back.
Reijnders has struggled again and shows no real passion to either defend or get back behind the ball.
Savinho is just Savinho….the odd flash, but no end product.
We haven’t got a game changer on the pitch….second half is crying out for Cherki.

Cherki could be another Reijnders? Started brilliantly and has looked poor since.

Looks to me like our recruitment is again so so. Ok but not great.

Good team but not great.

 

[Gazza]

We need to get the next goal or it's going to be a very long second half.

 

[mattyads]

Release Marmoush, give him a free role and we'll piss this.

Lol…do me a favour

 

[OldhamBlue94]

If we lose this it’s on pep. Fucking great rhythm running up to the game then he goes and fucks about with the team.

 

[super_city_si]

No changes. This is good.

 

[Ezy]

Not surprised over no changes calling some at minute 79

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Still wide open and Pep won’t change it

 

[eyalluvitt]

I miss the days when we used to completely dust Villa with ease away, used to be a case of how many

 

[Paul1970]

Once again no subs

 

[HypnoticBlue]

No discussion about the penalty on tv?

 

[minimalistic]

Pep can’t admit when he fucked up the team selection.

 

[TFC]

No changes :(

 

[iqjatt]

Feck, why no changes

 

[Mancityus]

No subs shows Pep's thinking of trying to draw at most.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Cmon city. I think you can do this

 

[Mancity1980]

Come on city!!!!

 

[cookster]

Changes will only happen if:
1) we go 2 nil down or
2) it gets to 70 mins

 

[heslops barnet]

If we can’t come from 1 down here and at least get a point then title talk needs shelved until next season.

Title aspirations were shelved a while ago……
