Villa Vs City Post Match Thread

Did Pelligrini cost us the match? Yes.

Were we also unlucky and blotched three chances inside the 6? You betcha.

Should Pelligrini be sacked, sent back to Chile in a crate and forced to tend to the llamas for the rest of his life? Absolutely not. Some very negative posts on here. It is frickin head scratcher why he would play without a striker.
 
A strange quote from Pellegrini post match. ''"Without Bony and without Sergio Aguero we don't have a player who plays inside the box. We have to try and work without them." That sounds like he doesn't have a lot of faith in the young lad although he is still learning the game i guess. We are too light up front this season and i hope it doesn't cost us.

Today after about 20 minutes you just felt it was going to be one of those days,away against the bottom club,new manager,everyone expecting us to win and coming off a great performance and 'Typical City' turn up. We have seen a fair few games like this in the last few seasons and we usually lose them 1-0 so i guess today was an improvement lol! Joking aside there sometimes seems to be a lack of that inner grit and sheer almost nasty desire to get games like this by the scruff of the neck,bully what is inferior opposition and win.I hate to compare us to the rags but their great sides all had this insane desire to win,if you beat them in those days you had left everything on the pitch and had a bit of luck.We need some of that desire in some of these players to go with their undoubted talent.

How did he cost us the match? My only quibble is starting the season with 3 strikers-one who is injury prone and one a rookie.

If he is saying that then the decision to go into a season with two strikers is really baffling. Who thought that would be a good idea with a very injury prone Aguero being one of them. Very odd.

Illogical to believe a striker has more chance of converting chances than a midfielder? How so? A midfielder should have better passing stats than a striker, if fernando got injured and we put kelechi centre mid would it be illogical then if he misplaced all his passes?

I don't think you'd understand if I tried to explain. because you haven't read 'Use and Abuse of Statistics'
 
We must be a wet dream to the managers of struggling teams.

Still, at least we are a point better off and we'll see where Villa are at the end of the season. CTID.

8 wins, 2 draws = good form. Some flappers on here.

3 wins in the last 7 and No away wins in three and one goal scored in them. Stats don't mean anything when quoted without context.

Overall we are in a good spot, mainly due to our blistering start.

I think it's fair to say that today was a disappointment surely? No need for the individual abuse that some are getting but not beating a side who have 4 points is disappointing, there are no ways around that.
