Villa Vs City Post Match Thread

Teams are breaking their necks left and right to make sure the rags beat them
Meanwhile they play the game of their lives against us, away and at home!
Not thinking the scum will give us a run for our money is just pure arrogance

Have you seen their fixture list over Christmas?

Very very kind indeed. Suspiciously kind.

Whereas we have Liverpool and Arsenal still to play.
 
Ahh, i've calmed down a bit now.

Looking back we should have won the game, we had a few chances which are taken 9 times out of 10 but still not happy with Pelle's decision making, a more proactive or assured manager would have put on Nacho against the team bottom of the league rather than play with no striker without Silva's incisive passing to make up for it. Who's to say we still wouldn't have won but I think it would have maximized our chances. Putting on Delph was also an idiotic move in my opinion and it fired up the crowd for the remainder of the game. Also Yaya was clearing not interested today, not necessarily Pelle's fault but he had to be subbed earlier with that attitude, he was literally strolling around the middle of the pitch and barely making an effort to make a tackle.

Overall the team didn't play as well as it could have so not all the blame is on Pelle but at the end of the day he puts the team out and they didn't perform against a team on a 7 game losing streak.
 
It is on the BBC website on the match report. I thought we would suffer up front this season and that it was crazy to let Dzeko go.For all his faults he scored goals and i feel we will miss him this season.

To be fair Dzeko did the square root of fuck all last season!
 
Taking this off in another direction, perhaps...

The manager has previously stated it is difficult/can't for Toure to play three games in a week?

What's the truth? It was crying out for him to be subbed within 20 minutes of the start.

Far too much respect shown by the selection in the middle, even then, not starting Toure would have opened up much more options.
 
Get Kun and David back and we will be flying.
We will win it with 3 games to spare.

There is seriously no way of knowing that. We are prone to lapses whoever is playing. West ham was 3 points dropped now two at Villa. We have seen this before. This sloppiness and slow start to games can hurt us. Both those games after CL games too so maybe it does have some impact on us.
