Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[gti2win]

if he's lost the dressing room, which is looking likely, we cannot allow him to spend what money we have in the january transfer window, we have to make a change today, get JOL in and give him the transfer window and hopefully re-motivate the players we already have to save our season and keep us up

[JUAN PABLO]

we missed Hogg  '-)

Well that was the most gutless performance I have ever seen by a Manager and his Assistant.
The pair of them just sitting there shivering and praying for fulltime.

Go get your nice warm cup of Hollicks Houllier and Fuck off!

[lovejoy]

Don't think the supporters booing helps much. Time toi circle the wagons folks. Focus on the winnable games and write off the others. No point in getting p!ssed as losing at Chelsea is there?

Which games are winnable, with this manager ?, cos I can't see where the next goal is coming from never mind the next fucking win.

Home games against teams 7th and below.

Id give the players 2 days off to rest up.

The saddest thing about today's non performance was that it was so utterly predictable and had Man Citeh been arsed it could have been 7 or 8 nil.

I am bored of reading about our injuries; the more players we get back from injury the worse we get. Houllier's man management skills seem worse than M'ON's and he seems to have alienated about half of the squad.

The players do not seem to be playing for the manager sadly and on that basis he is clearly not the man to take us forward - please Houllier do the right thing and go this evening.

Oh and thanks for a shit Christmas

As Delboy once said.......Bonjour Mr Houllier

Must have close to the worst defensive record in the division now.

It's easy to snipe when you've got a perfect view of the whole pitch, but in every match this season I look at Villa's movement and passing ability and wonder how these players can suddenly be so bad.

[JUAN PABLO]

I cant really see how he can change it next game. we look so fooking wimpy, no fire , no passion, no anything ...  there is a massive job  here ..

It's hard to be surprised at our predicament, aside from the fact that it happened so fast.

It was a poor decision to employ Houlier and despite many of us holding out the hope that he could do a job, he looks utterly doomed. He has had more than his fair share of issues to deal with, let alone the timing of his apointment but he does appear to have lost the players, and today the fans. I'm confident that he could make some decent signings, given the opportunity but it's not that side of the game that is the issue.

It is the utter lack of any kind of impetous, motivation or drive that may well be indicative of a man who has been out of the game for so long.

Nice guy, wrong job.

It's easy to snipe when you've got a perfect view of the whole pitch, but in every match this season I look at Villa's movement and passing ability and wonder how these players can suddenly be so bad.

They never were good at it. We just had a system under MoN that utterly masked their deficiencies.

What a load of shit start of the season i said we draw too many games it's win or lose this season, the stupid part about all of that was the reason we drew so many games was because we nearly lost them......

We had a few highs last season now it's time for the low's (crying man)

Chelski are due a win aswell it's really all messed up for us 4points out of 27...... scary times ahead with our run in coming up..........

[Chris Smith]

What a load of bollocks.

From back to front we were useless but Nigel Reo Coker managed to achieve a level of uselessness that I didn't think possible.

We seem to be lacking any heart for the battle. I expected us to lose but I hoped that we might be avle to take a few positives but (apart from Delph looking lively when he came on) there was nothing.

Sides must love playing us at the moment because we make it so easy for them.
