Gerrard Coutinho to get past on the final day and a few thousand Villa fans desperate for Grealish to not lift the trophy.

It's going to be a chaotic day

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

If someone said you have a one off home game to Aston Villa to win the Premier League, I’d rip their hand off. Chill.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Why do we allow Mahrez to take important spot kicks, absolute disgrace.

Felt like a win at 2-2 now feels like a loss.

He hasn't missed one for us since 2018, and has been our designated penalty taker since last season. It was the right call.

 

[daveiw01]

Pen is frustrating but fuck me im not complaining too much. I didn’t see a way back into that at half time. Great response.

Agreed, i feared the worst, guy at work said 3-0 Hammers on Friday, I laughed, at half time I was very very worried.

 

[RayCTID]

First half defending and Mahrez pen miss.

I hope Pep goes berserk on them.

Cost us 2 points.

shit fucking pen that was, at least hit the post where keeper has no chance to save it.

A lot better than it was after 45 minutes

 

[SWPISHOME]

Pep must have a "don't change things" when we are in a fight mentality.

The players on the pitch got us into the shit in the first half and Pep always seems to have the "You put yourselves in this situation, Now get yourselves out of it". He couldn't make a change the way we came out the second half we had them by the throat.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Ah well, at least we didn't lose. Just makes the Villa game more significant and a game we must win. And we will win.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Well, its simple at least. Win at home and its ours.

I know, you'd think it was out of our hands according to some.
It was an excellent recovery after a terrible first half.
I have issues with why we chose to make no changes though

 

[Decepticon]

Good job City! You've giving Gerrard and the media dickheads a chance to put pressure on us from winning the title.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Needless pressure on against Dippers B now, Stevie, Coutinho, Ings et al. will die trying to stop us. A draw there scuppers us, all because we fucked it today. We never learn.

Villa can’t defend. All we have to do is stop them scoring and we will score enough to win.

 

[The Black Shed]

Final day madness again!

 

[Bald fraud]

If you take a penalty never put it at diving height for the keeper

 

[inchy14]

Defence was dogshit and will be the same against Villa.

Their pace will be a huge threat.

 

[didactic]

He hasn't missed one for us since 2018, and has been our designated penalty taker since last season. It was the right call.

Yes he has!

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Don’t do it yourself, Southampton are shite, zero hope from me.

Except when they play us.

 

[sir baconface]

Ye of little faith. 0-0 draws won’t bail the dippers out. It’s entirely in our hands.

 

[ctwrd]

It is straight forward really. Once again we were gifted an opportunity to wrap up the league. Once again we didn’t take it. How many times do we have to keep Liverpool in this title race?

We play like that against Villa and we won’t win the league because players like Coutinho and Watkins will have a field day against this defence.

Oh it’s all so easy isn’t it? We should have had it wrapped up after game 31 after all we have been gifted 31 opportunities to win the 93 points we need

 

[give it to gordon]

We can’t change the past, beat villa and it’s ours, full on positivity for next Sunday, Jack hat trick

Be surprised if Grealish starts next week to be honest

 

[silvathechihuahua]

If someone said you have a one off home game to Aston Villa to win the Premier League, I’d rip their hand off. Chill.

Exactly

 

[SebastianBlue]

Who's better then?

Someone that does not have the memory of missing the last big (game-deciding and title deciding) penalty he took.
