Villa Vs City Post Match Thread

As someone stated earlier in this thread, there was really no need to set up as we had against Sevilla, with both Ferns in the side.

If it was obvious to people like me, who have never played football in their life that Villa would provide very little attacking threat, why wasn't it to MP and his staff?

Played a fucking striker..
 
Wait, so let me get this right.

City win 1-3 in Seville with our best European performance in years, the thread gets to 52 pages.

We draw 0-0 and are still top of the league and the meltdown & lambasting of anyone associated with city hits 83 pages and counting.

'Kinell. Either this place is awash with rags or we are getting very assuming.
 
Very rarely will a team play well for 90 mins in a match. In fact, it's only in the games against the bigger teams where you need to keep your concentration for 90 mins.

In most games the match is won by a dominant 10-15 minute period or a moment of individual brilliance and keeping your opponent at bay.

We had our spell today but didn't take our chances. We hit the post, hit the bar, seen a chance miss the post by an inch, Sterling and De Brunye missed sitters and Sterling wasted another good opportunity.

We created enough good chances to win 3 matches but when you don't take them, you don't win.

Despite it being a good performance (bad result) I still think Pellegrini made some poor choices. That was never a match in which we needed Fernando for and if he would have dropped him in th 2nd half, we could have put Toure and KDB in their favour positions and played with a striker.

Sadly there becomes almost an inevitability in games like that where we start slowly,the passing is poor, Toure is ambling about looking disinterested. Momentum kicks in at about 70 minutes when we start to look like we need to take charge. Their goalie then has a blinder. Seen it many times in the past few years with City .At least we've progressed from conceding a wonder goal scored by some no hoper.

First half was poor by the players! But very unlucky 2nd half we never looked like losing! Team set up was fine maybe could have hooked yaya a bit earlier! But your not gonna get me slagging pellers for not going all out attack! Navas has to be found a role in the team!

I assume Gestede was attempting to throw the ball out for a goal kick to waste a few more seconds. Joe tried to stop it but failed and the ball went out for a corner. Still, what a cock Gestede is, and a shit Championship player as well

Then why did he immediately feign to rush at Joe as well? You give him more credit than he's due.
 
The posts claiming people are flapping and that we were unlucky today are the absolute worst. We wasn't unlucky, we got what we deserved, yes we had 1-2 big chances but that's not enough against bottom of the league. We should of been peppering their goal or hammering crosses in like we did for the last 5 minutes for the entire second half. pellegrini has to take the blame for his baffling decision bringing Navas on for Bony (Navas btw, had a good game but we needed a striker, a focal point and KDB is not that) and waiting so long before bringing Kelechi on.

There's simply no excuses for failing to beat bottom of the league.
