Did you not watch the second half at Brentford?

Brentford better than these for me but yes that was shite too lol

 

[roach3]

wtf was that about, these pussies cry at any touch, well done city decent performance I suppose

Yet we have a clean sheet again. Which is the third consecutive game we have not conceded in.

More by luck than judgement if we're being honest (the clean sheet).

Worth mentioning that VR haven’t been beaten at home since March 15th (Real Madrid)…

Welldone City!!

Good 1st half
Villareal more energetic 2nd half & better team .
But still a good win & builds confidence .

Just listen to that summary from TS scripted Chowdrey - unbelievablem - 'first victory in OVER A YEAR away in the CL' - she just said it again....

Could easily have been a draw. Good result average performance.

Can't agree with that. The game management was not the best . But it was better than previous games. We had to save ourselves for the weekend

We used to keep clean sheets by pummelling the opposition into submission and them barely venturing into our half. Now we are trying to protect leads and actually look far more vulnerable when doing so. I prefer the old way.

1.38 v 1.50 xG

Could easily been a draw

First half we were very good but after Nico went off in the Second it got a bit nervy in parts.. We recovered from that though and Haaland could have bagged one. While they could have got one late on I accept that Lijnders does have a say in the game management and I didn't feel we'd give up 2 goals at any stage. Only an opinion .
Villa will be tougher opposition on Sunday.
