Villa post match thread

[J_Bow]

First team to have more possession than us in 6.5 years at the Etihad (PL games only)

In the end a great 3 points but there are some alarming aspects to our game not least our mentality when we concede. We look like a herd of Deer in headlights. Credit to Villa for their part in an entertaining game. They definitely deserved a point maybe more. They play an exciting and intelligent type of football. If they can keep some of their top players they're going to be some side to watch. MOTM for me was easily Jack Grealish, what an incredible talent with great balance and vision. No doubt a future England star. As for us I just want the season to end now. We need a complete overhaul and probably a new manager.

grealish a future english star ffs just tells tells u how shit we have become under this shit manager

you obviously didn't watch the cup semi final and todays game. He ran the show today. Great player and only 19 FFS.

Add Delph to that, him and Grealish ran our midfield all over the place today. We are looking a shadow of our former selves at the moment.

I'm thankful for the 3 vital points and for not having to endure a 442 formation, but this was a poor performance characterised by our seeming lack of desire. From the off Villa didn't show us any respect, they fought and harried us out of possession and at times it was they who looked like defending champions and we who looked like we were battling relegation.

Straight up, if we were down the bottom of the table I'd be shitting myself about relegation right now because our form in the last 3 months has been just that, relegation form. We can pray for 3rd or even 2nd, but our form hardly deserves it.

Something is seriously wrong with the spirit of the squad. I only saw the desire to win that we used to have in spades for only brief periods today. Villa are the first team in SIX YEARS to come to the Etihad and have more possession than us. The thing that made us who we'd become over the last 4-5 years has slowly been eroded away and by the look of things I can't see how we can begin to regain it with our present set-up.

I'm no merchant of doom but now it looks like we've lost what has made the modern day Manchester City, I seriously fear for where we're going in the immediate future. I'm seriously dismayed that clubs who 2 seasons ago were beaten before they stepped onto the grass are now looking us square in the face and believing they can match and beat us which they are doing.......

Khaldoon's stoney face said it all. Over to you Txiki and Manuel...... Over to you

after watching the game today i would say apart from yaya every other player (including lampard who is going to be off this summer) looked motivated

but the team clearly grew frustrated after seeing that our manager tactics are not working

clearly pellegrini see not good enough and even he seems to know that he is just warming the seat for somebody else

can t realy figure out what plan we have but sin xmas we have been shit

Credit to Villa for their part in an entertaining game. They definitely deserved a point maybe more. They play an exciting and intelligent type of football. If they can keep some of their top players they're going to be some side to watch for next year. MOTM for me was easily Jack Grealish, what an incredible talent with great balance and vision. No doubt a future England star. Will never get a chance of signing him because he's Villa through and through. As for us I just want the season to end now. We need a complete overhaul and probably a new manager.

You,ll catch a few with this bud,good stuff.

Fuck off sky you bias fuckers

Totally agree it was like the Aston villa show LOL........3 points anyway but we are shocking without the ball. Interesting summer ahead in terms of players out and in

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Manager was shit (FL+YT+FR in CM against a nippy Villa? laughable)
Team was shit
Ref was shit (We had 2 blatant pens)
Atmosphere was shit

Good job Liverpool are even more shit

Pretty much this! If we don't get a good manager i.e klopp then we can kiss goodbye to top 4 next season

It still attract strongly my attention, what in the world make some “fans“ here think, that Klopp the solution as a manager is, and he will be make it better than our actual manager.

In fact, City are now second with the poor Pellegrini, and only 9 points behind the leader, qualifiying fot the next Champions League, meanwhile Klopp and his team lay only in the 8th position, without the chance to play any international cup and 37 points behind the leader in a quiet inferior league, as the Bundesliga are for a one....

What the hell in the world made this people think Kloop WILL NOT repeat the poor campaign he´s having now with dortmund in mancgester city in 2005???

Thats remain for me still as a mystery...

From your name, you'll forgive me for suspecting you of wearing Pellegrini coloured glasses. Either way, if you take them off, you'll see a very expensive team that has been mismanaged for months and which is playing some pretty shambolic football. I like the guy and wish him well, but he has to go

Fingers crossed that 3 points will see us crawl over that line for 4th. We needed that today because we still have to play Swansea, Spurs and Southampton.

Yaya had to go off ,a stud caught his sock,sadly it turned into a great big hole.
Missed him badly second half!.

 

[blue city199]

Any update on Yaya's hammy injury?

Injury list starting to pile up a bit once again.

I expect a better performance next week against Spurs.

The points are all that matters as we know a number of changes are required over the summer.

He pulled his "I don't want to be here anymore" tendon. Pretty serious tear, won't be available again this season I reckon
