Villa Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

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.

+50000.

Losing to villa with there best players out is simply abject.
The happy blues can dress it up all they like but this is not acceptable

Another 3 points pissed away. I am sorry but we will not be anywhere near winning the league unless we radically change our away form.

Pellegrini substitution of Nasri was just wrong. He fucked up at Cardiff with a needless substitution and it cost us and he has done it again and it's cost us again.

Nastasic is overrated by too many on here. He has lots of potential but I hold my breath every time he tried to make a tackle as the number of times he gets it wrong is Incredible.

Milner is just average. Always has been always will be. Offers fuck all for me and I dont get the love in he gets.

Complete waste of total domination.

I think Pellegrini's sub of Nasri with Navas was for 1 reason alone...

He wants to play both Nasri and Navas in Wednesdays game v Bayern and will have Silva on the bench... guaranteed.

There was no reason to take Nasri off as he was playing great. That is the only thing which makes sense as he left Milner (the weakest of all the midfielders) on the pitch.

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!

Who were those..thts something to be upset

You sure?

Piss poor defensive display. Also thought Hart could have done better for both goals.

Going forward we aren't direct enough at times.

Can't believe we lost that game.

Milner only has workrate and tackling and sure as hell can't pass, cross or shoot accurately!!

Milner can't pass?? Did you see our goals vs Wigan midweek?

 

[pudge]

I'm pretty sure Villa don't give a flying fuck about being outplayed and terrible right now..

 

[mcfc1982]

absolute shite today but the way some of the results are going at the start of this season can only be good for us, not getting in to the which manager debate as i support man city and whoever is in charge will get my backing, save for mark hughes :)

alot went against us today but on the bright side big game against bayern coming and we seem focused on that and at least we are still in the top half of the table :)

CTID

 

[jimharri]

well just wowwww :)

the away form is fucking shit and that since 2011/2012 ( that year united had more points away)

forget it

As long as I remember (save the odd rogue season) we've been poor travellers in the top division. A side with pretentions (sp?) of winning the league should be looking to win half their away games. Not a hope in fuck of us doing that when you consider we haven't played any of the ''bigger'' teams yet.

I don't think a sunday league pub team would have conceded that ridiculous third villa goal ....

if it wasn't so serious it would be laughable!

 

[blueinsa]

Debatable? Your stream must have been shite.

It was a foul but the kind that often does not get penalised. There wasn't much contact and it wasn't responsible for Villa losing the ball but Nasty should not have committed it.

wtf, it was a clear free kick nastasic tripped the villa player up.

The Villa player ran in to him ffs. he was looking for contact and the ref fucking bought it.
