Right. We won.

But why do i feel so angry?!

That last 10 minutes was snapshot of our inability to cope with a side that cranks up the pressure on us!

It does worry/annoy me sometimes that we only seem to have one tempo, and whilst we set that tempo, all is ok, but as soon as the pace goes up, we cant match it and start losing the ball in contact and giving it away.

Chuffed with the points tho... And thanks Joe, best keeper in England!!

Mancini's tactics nearly cost us the game, why bring on dzeko in the 88th minute when Villa are having their strongest spell? - talk about motivating the opposition.

Then Bobby brought on Micah when the danger had passed!

Definately a lucky win. Thanks to Joe.

Good to be back on top!

referee was outstanding, not the best performance by us but would have taken the 3 points at the start of the day without a shadow of a doubt.

best goalkeeper in the league to help us out.

Aguerros finishing was, and has been in general for a while now, abysmal.

BELIEVE.

did Zaba put in a bad foot all day? Humongous performance by the Zab Man.

Barry back to form. It seems when you're stagnant and in 14th place you can't be arsed to boo him every time he touches the ball any more.

Not a single one to my memory. Made a couple of superb forward bursting runs too.

You can't put a price on Joe Hart. You just can't. We have one of the very best in the world.

That said, a goal from a defender, from a corner, and we STILL nearly pissed it away at the end. This has got to stop. Something we can at least take comfort from is that we did create some chances and half chances, just didn't finish them. Which is better than creating nothing at all. Aguero is also slowly drifting back into finishing nothing at all. First half everything he did but the final shot was pretty good, second half very little was working for him. Whether he's any good as a lone front man or not is irrelevant, some of the positions he gets himself into he should be doing better.

Great 3 points but sadly not a great performance against a poor Villa team.

Really need to up our play. At least we'll have Yaya and co back this week.

Re: Villa v City Post match Discussion thread

Don't know if I missed something, how come Hart gave his shirt away?

Gave it to a father of a young fan.

So Balo plays Tuesday? Toure brothers aswell?

Reberto did it the hard way today. Now is not the time to make people happy, now is the time to get three points, and he has to do whatever it takes to get them. Changing the team around should not be something he even thinks about!
