Villa Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread

[Life in Blue]

Fucking pointless subs, imho. Should have left Milner on the right.

We don't capitalise when the scum lose - bloody annoying to say the least.

Can only hope Arsenal draw, then it won't be so bad.

Nothing to do with the manager. Nothing. Without a hint of knee jerk, you can forget about the league. You don't have an away record like ours under two managers like Mancini and Pellegrini if it's nothing to do with the players.

Can get themselves up for Champions League and the rags at home then don't go and put Villa to the sword. Pathetic.

Which is why we should never have sacked the manager and sided with the players. Only one way to go from there. Downhill. Fast.

Hart, dzeko, nasri, kolarov, should have been moved on, and Mancini given pelli's £100million plus the money from their sales to really push on and develop the side his way.

The Spanish duo and dare I say it khaldoon need to take the blame for that.

We're getting what we deserve. Fuck all.

Your just gutted cos Moyes and his boys lost, fuck off to ragcafe

 

[argyle]

I agree, we were excellent and somehow lost but I remember Chelsea losing their only game of one season away at us when we had one shot (the penalty) on target and were murdered,

These things happen and it is football, but this message will be lost in the clamour of thundercunts to prove how little they know about football on this thread.

Can only agree with this

Me too.. fuck off all you drama queens!!!

We were excellent APART from the 3 goals??? Are you guys reading what you are writing??

It would make sense as excellent apart from one goal, but 3?? That is awful.

 

[voltaire]

Huge overreactions on the parts of some.

Offside goal, miscommunication for the aimless goal kick and a low percentage free kick conceded != bad performance. Villa, essentially, had three of the barest whiffs at goal, and converted all three. That doesn't happen often. Those calling for Nastasic's benching are being ridiculous. Kompany was just as much at fault for the second, and he wasn't in goal for the free kick...

Villa didn't press at all, kept three at the back to deal with the barrage of crosses (and it was an absolute barrage) and counter attacked whenever they could.

It's an annoying loss for City, but not one indicative of a bad performance, attitude or a lack of capacity. On another day, the same exact match ends 2-0, 3-0, 4-0 to City. Negredo stretches for the ball, or Dzeko swings his leg a little lower, or Kolarov takes it on the volley a bit better and it's a rout. By the same token, Wiemann doesn't inch it past Hart, or Kompany/Nastasic take responsibility to deal with an aimless clearance, or a free kick that 95% of the time goes over the bar actually goes over the bar and it's a complete rout.

This sort of luck doesn't go against you often enough for the tears and teeth gnashing this thread will no doubt bring out.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Can somebody please explain me why to change the best player on the Field Nasri and a scorer Dzeko Before VIlla is CRUSHED ??????????
What kind of tactic is that ??

Not wanting to risk him getting sent off I think.

 

[dctid]

If you look on the plus side we're only 3 points off the top and 3 points ahead of Rags...could be worse

What have the rags go to do with fuck all

 

[Anonymous]

Did I watch a different game? We battered them, created all the chances had at least a dozen corners. Their first was offside, the second a great free kick and the 3rd a freak goal. We played great, the most one sided defeat I have ever seen, I have no idea what most fans want.

I'd agree ....

we completely outplayed them , but their third goal was due to rank bad defending .... can't believe we've lost this game , Villa were NEVER a threat.

 

[viking the odd]

What a disaster, terrible,game, we should not loose to this shit in this style, no chance for the title this year, i think the falcon has to big an eye on Europe, i would take 3rd now.

 

[bernabias home shirt]

Some cretins will hint at PellegrinI for being inept but fact is Villa were hard dome to v Chelsea and been resolute in all games so far.

We were the better team and came away with a loss, it happens. Just appreciate the 4-1 and look forward to Bayern. Only a win behind top spot if Arsenal draw or lose. No problems.

City!

He's the manager he takes the rap for our poor away form
Early days though and not to much damage done with the rags & Chavs not winning.

 

[dazdon]

Overall a good performance with 3 crappy lapses in concentration.

We'll get better as the season develops.

 

[TGR]

For all the bed wetters on here, i saw no lack of effort, none at all so where all this crap is coming from I dont fucking know?

Clear off side goal against and a very debatable free kick for another goal went against us ffs yet some of you are so fucking hysterical at times you need locking up ffs.

Sure its fucking gutting but rags dropped points, Chelsea dropped points, Spurs dropped points and they will do so plenty more times this season as we are playing in the strongest league in the world, not the fucking conference league!

get a fucking grip you mard arses!

You keep kidding yourself mate...Fucking 2 losses and a draw....Did Mancini ever do that on the spin....I am having doubts again

Have your doubts. I have mine about Mancini ever making a mark in Europe.

Las time I looked onthe map Villa park was not in Europe.

 

[bluemoonmatt]

Not good enough, we have already dropped far too many points for a so called title challenging side, our only comfort is most of our rivals have too. we cannot afford for this pathetic, insipid away form to continue. And I hate to concur with a poster a page or so back, but we would NOT have conceded 3 Goals home away or in timbuk fucking too to teams like villa and cardiff under RM. Pellle needs to sort this out urgently

 

[superseiyan]

On a side note;
Chelsea
Tottenham
United
City
Have all failed to win.

This!!!

I dont think its all doom and gloom... it would have been great to get the win and be at the top but hey ho... all the big teams have lost today... pretty sure Arsenal will lose as well.

As aspiring champions that's a defeatist way to look at it. You should be disappointed at not putting distance between yourselves and your rivals.

 

[kupest]

Honestly it was just one of those days that to be honest happen once in like one year. Can't believe us, we were really good except the last 10 minutes where the combination of Kolarov and Milner din't chose the right options. We lacked creativity in the last 10 minutes as well but thats down to Silva, Nasri not being on the pitch.
Also, pretty clear Dzeko-Negredo together doesnt really convert into goals.

You flap like a curtain in the breeze though.

 

[blinkblue]

We were bobbins after Nasri went off. Jovetic should have been brought on much earlier, he's no where near as effective when you're chasing a game.

 

[Chippy_boy]

That's like being a model human being apart from the raping, child abuse and murdering.

 

[Eaglechief]

This cavalier attacking attitude away from home is suicidal, Pelligrini will have to re-think the team's approach completely away from home, 1 point from a possible 9 away from home is appalling, especially considering who we've played.

 

[Deleted member 52846]

We deserved that.

We were awful in the final third and sloppy at the back in the second half. Doesn't matter about completely dominating possession if those two things aren't good enough.

People have been slagging Nastasić but Kompany was awful for all three goals; too deep of the defensive line for the first which made the linesman think he wasn't offside, terrible non-tackle just before the foul was given away, and took no command of the situation for the third. He's supposed to be the captain/leader and he wouldn't have lead a blind man across the street with his performance today.

Not the right team selection and naïve tactics from the manager. We can't be this open away from home. It was only poor heading from Stoke that saw us pick up a point there. Poor substitutions today too. Nasri was our best player and he took him off?

We were so poor in the final third today. 500 crosses and only two or were were any good.

Not happy to see lads sat on the bench laughing away at 3-2 down just before injury time neither.

I'm so disappointed with that, today. It feels like someone's taken a point off our derby win. We deserved it though, through being too poor in too many areas.

Sometimes losing is good as it makes things change immediately, getting something out of that may have papered over our away tactical cracks and prolonged them - now we must change things.

2/10 MUST DO BETTER!

 

[nellyonthewing]

This was bad on so many levels.

First half sloppy and wasteful finishing meant Villa were still in a game that they had no right to be in.
Nasri's pettiness meant he got subbed and was more interested in the incident instead of the second half.
Nastatic is as his name explains ..'static' . He gives needless fouls away in stupid positions ,is turned easily and does not read the game .

How much more encouragement did Villa need ...We handed it to them on a plate..
Pellegrini made changes but all he achieved was to undermine what little shape was left in the side...

Our squad has this pompous view that when playing sides not deserving of 100% they will only give 50% and look what happens.
