WTF is that?
-
Pau on the bench. Fucking hell.
-
Bit weak?
-
Paaaaauuuuuu?!
-
This is weird!
-
I was happy with just the one arsehole.
-
April Fools?
-
Well that line up suggests we’ve written this game off doesn’t it?
-
That’s the weirdest lineup ever
Are we throwing this fixture?
-

-
Seems like it doesn't it.
-
Are we sitting this one out?
-
So now it's a question of goal difference, which I feel we have blown.
-
That’s the weirdest lineup ever
Are we throwing this fixture?
Essentially, yes.
-
That's screams 'Saturday is far more important' .
-
How odd?!
-
Also Man City goes starts with first eleven players on the bench. Most suprise line ups ever.
-
Yep seems to me unais happy to take a hit and rest the players like pau and bailey for saturday as a more winnable game.
Ill be stunned if that team gets anything tonight
-
Well we better win on Saturday.
-
Gulp
-
We should smash them.
-
Maybe he just thinks the squad is that thin he can’t afford to lose certain players. Pau being one.
-
Weird line ups from both teams. Pau on the bench?
-
Are we sitting this one out?
Looks like it. Might come out afterwards that players are carrying knocks or illness. I'm assuming this is Tim's first league start for us?
-
Well, I hope all the "free hit" people are satisfied with that line up!
I'm quite excited to see how it goes.
-
No Pau, Bailey or Tielemans. Yikes, I hope to be proved wrong but I fear Unai has overthought this.
-
Three games in seven days folks.
I wouldn't want to be in the trenches with some here FFS
-
Can be interesting match though, Zaniolo up against Givardiol can be some encounters.
-
Maybe there's a minor knock or two. I bet the makeshift Man City defence aren't looking forward to facing that lot. It's either going to be beautiful chaos or disasterous chaos. Forza chaos!
-
It's not just Sat, we play in Europe next week and I'm sure he has an eye on that. Woolwich are doing the same but then they are up against Luton.
Missing my gig in London because of the shit at Euston so I shall watch it all unfold....
-
Points to 5 at the back. Wrong tactics in my view. Let’s hope we don’t go down by more than 2 goals. Citeh need to stop their run of not winning against the other top 5 teams….ladies and gentlemen.. I give you Aston Villa!!
-
And now Emi is out too…
-
Three games in seven days folks.
I wouldn't want to be in the trenches with some here FFS
Can I be excused from the trenches altogether? I've got asthma and I'm not much use with a shovel.
-
Update: Robin Olsen will start in goal for Aston Villa. Emi Martínez misses out through illness.
-
I wonder if it's a case of Emery knowing Duran can't play the way Watkins does, so he's made wholesale changes to try to better suit his style of play? Zaniolo and Duran are quite physical players, maybe we're just going to bash them off the ball for 90 minutes.
-
Ok, now i'm less confident.
-
FFS.
-
Update: Robin Olsen will start in goal for Aston Villa. Emi Martínez misses out through illness.
This is going to be a loooooong night.
-
Emi out, thats it then
-
This is going to be biblical.
-
We would be saying that was a decent line up if we were at home to Aldershot in the cup.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't start v Man City as much as he could start as he's not the only option, because it all rests on Emery's tactics as much as confidence in having an inexperienced , temperamental but brilliant striker occupying their defence. Zaniolo, Rogers, and Diaby might all be ahead of him in the Watkins position and would suit the game plan of counter attack and transition. It's two of the four plus Bailey. If Bailey does not start while the other four do, I am not pleased.
I nearly replied to this post along the lines of "that would be nuts, there is literally no chance that those four start and Bailey be the one to miss out. Don't be so silly".
But, "insight" I guess.
-
Oh good God almighty.....
-
Reserving judgement until about 10pm…
-
Come on the Chaos Crew!
-
Didn’t fcuking Olsen throw in three against these when we were 2 up previously?!
-
Well, I hope all the "free hit" people are satisfied with that line up!
I'm quite excited to see how it goes.
Yeah we are ecstatic 😒
-
I don't like this.
I don't like this at all.
Looking forward to it all week and then this.
I don't feel optimistic.
Good grief.
Prove me wrong Villa.
-
Wise move by Emi. The old chewed up digestives spat into the loo routine, saved me many a cross country run at school...
-
Oh dear Lord 😩
-
We are getting battered IMO
Hope I’m wrong
-
Well, guess it's a free hit now so fuck it. See what happens
-
I do love the idea that it's all a clever ploy to mess with Pep. No way he prepared for that line up.
-
If / when we get battered, I just take solace that the spurs battering didn’t affect us.
-
This is the team that should of started against Ajax >:(
-
The goal difference...won't somebody think of the goal difference?!
-
Just hope if we lose we lose with pride not another 4-0 or worse.
Just hope chelsea can do us a favour tomorrow night
-
This is going to be biblical.
Man City are 9/4 to score 4 tonight
-
Definitely took me a second read to digest that lineup.
-
Tnt saying Olsen in goal...martinez sick
-
Emi pre-match
(https://i.redd.it/2y9npxjbi1aa1.gif)
-
That's screams 'Saturday is far more important' .
But, but Moscow.......
-
Didn’t fcuking Olsen throw in three against these when we were 2 up previously?!
I was just about ok with the line up and thought maybe it’s a good idea keeping a few players out of this one.
I hadn’t noticed Olsen in goal though!
-
Emi's a clever boy, saw the CB pairing and thought he'd have the day off.
-
I kind of get the midfield set up. There was only Tielemans left he could have put in and I wonder if the game might have passed him by with no-one to play any through balls to.
Emi being out has made my bottom a tad squeakier mind.
-
Not so much of a free hit as a free loss!! If I were Unai, I’d suggest he goes one better and ask the ref if we can just concede the match by a 0-2 score line.
-
We'll either lose (as many expected), or Unai will confirm what a managerial genius he is. Losing Emi's a big blow though.
-
In all seriousness, I think we're going to enjoy this more than we all think.
-
The only thing I'd question in that line-up is not starting with Tielemans.
-
I’ve just read Emi is ill, which explains that one.
-
Update: Robin Olsen will start in goal for Aston Villa. Emi Martínez misses out through illness.
April Fool ?
-
Just tuned in to TNT to see the pair of cnuts that are Ferdinand and the Klingon
Just when I thought it could not get any worse after the team sheet.
-
I'm assuming they're going to play long ...
-
I get it…but the defeatism I’m reading is awful.
-
Doug is captain now that Emi is out.
-
how many on here got that team right ?
I thought Zaniolo would strart but in place of Rogers .
Tielmans benched another weird one. Is he not 100 % fit neither?
oh well . . just watch the goal difference Villa.
-
In all seriousness, I think we're going to enjoy this more than we all think.
I was genuinely kind of excited to see such an odd line up, but the lack of Martinez has tempered that a bit.
-
Emi out, thats it then
That's it. I'm going for the draw now.
-
I'm assuming they're going to play long ...
Hope not, Shane always scores against us, i'd rather they play Haaland.
-
Wish there was a sofa, I could hide behind. ;) ;)
This is either going to be fabulous or a huge car crash.
Buckle in Villans; enjoy the ride.
😁😁😁
-
I didnt even notice emi was out !! Bloody hell olsen ?? This is gonna be a long night
I mean why not give gauci a start ?
-
I was okay with the lineup until the Martinez news.
Was watching the game to see how Duran and Zaniolo do, so my main focus has not changed.
-
I wonder if Spurs had won last night, whether Unai would’ve gone so weak?
-
I've been thinking I'd be happy with a draw, now I'm thinking I might be happy with us keeping the defeat down to just a couple of goals. Haaland and De Bruyne on the bench and despite Pep's tirade at him after Sunday's match, Grealish starts.
-
Unai is smarter than I, Unai is smarter than I, Unai is smarter than I..
I was excited for this one, but now I'm just nervous. If we can scrap a point here I'll fry my shoe and eat it.
-
Still showing EMI in goal in the stadium.
I’m clutching at straws🤣🤣
-
Still showing EMI in goal in the stadium.
I’m clutching at straws🤣🤣
The club have stated he's out.
-
I expect we will copy arsenal and go for the draw.
-
Didnt Konsa say we are playing 9 Cup Finals ....which cup is this one again?
-
We beat Bayern Munich with our reserve keeper .......
Not that I'm saying Olsen compares to Spinksy but I just saw a straw floating by and thought a clutch was in order
-
I get it…but the defeatism I’m reading is awful.
Its realism rather than defeatism
-
Only have 8 on the bench. Don't we usually take extra players?
-
Haaland and KDB on the bench for City? Are we both trying to throw the game?
-
Olsen was in goal for Sweden a couple of weeks ago and kept a clean sheet at home against Albania. Reason to be optimistic.
-
I mean why not give gauci a start ?
He got in huff when Unai said to Emi, "What's-a matter you?"
-
I just wish I could bring myself to accept defeat and watch something else on catch-up. But I’ll be watching (it’s the hope that kills ya)
-
I'll assume tonight's line up is part of the bigger picture our only our genius manager can see. Onwards and upwards.
-
suprised Unai's son isnt on the bench.
-
We're missing 8 first teamers with Emi out. We haven't named a deliberately weak side, only real surprise for me is Pau, and for all I know he may not be 100%.
-
After seeing that line up, I suspect Emi won't be the only one spending a lot of the evening on the toilet.
-
Fooked - could see logic if Pau was in back 4 and now without Martinez we need an even freaker result than the freaky freakster
-
We're missing 8 first teamers with Emi out. We haven't named a deliberately side, only real surprise for me is Pau, and for all I know he may not be 100%.
If Martinez is a last minute withdrawal maybe there is a bug or something doing the rounds.
-
Olsen was in goal for Sweden a couple of weeks ago and kept a clean sheet at home against Albania. Reason to be optimistic.
No mugs either, Albania. Topped their qualification group for the Euros. Olsen to have his one Nyland-vs-Leicester performance in a Villa shirt.
Nailed on.
-
Rumours are of stomach bug going around team.
-
Let me know when it’s over.
-
I already said I'm watching until the 3rd goal goes in.
-
I already said I'm watching until the 3rd goal goes in.
Why? We might get a 4th.
-
Didn’t fcuking Olsen throw in three against these when we were 2 up previously?!
Yeah in the space of about 5 minutes as well. Emi can waste that much time taking a couple of goal kicks.
-
I already said I'm watching until the 3rd goal goes in.
I'll stick around for our 4th and 5th to complete the twatting.
-
If you were playing a crucial game against the best side in the world, I'm not sure this is the team or circumstances you'd choose. But, well, fuck it really. UTV
-
Im sensing Escape to victory kind of vibes, someone put Durans arm in a sling will ya
-
Rumours are of stomach bug going around team.
That sounds feasible looking at the line up.
-
Olsen looking good in the warm up
(https://media1.tenor.com/m/AP-euSz9zcMAAAAC/soccer-robot.gif)
-
Diaby, Rogers, Zaniolo and Duran are all players whose form has shown a fairly dramatic upturn of late. Leaving Tielemans out, meh. I don't think he's any good at DM. Pau not playing is worrying as he's only just been eased back in, and I'm more inclined to think that for one reason or another he's not fully fit.
Still, should win this.
-
Olsen looking good in the warm up
(https://media1.tenor.com/m/AP-euSz9zcMAAAAC/soccer-robot.gif)
Haha! Obviously a deep fake, Olsen would be slower getting down to that one.
-
Olsen starting now, Martinez suffering with sickness. We're fucked.
-
Oh. Well, you never know...
-
HELP!!!!! (In huge letters in jagged font)
-
Pau not playing is worrying as he's only just been eased back in, and I'm more inclined to think that for one reason or another he's not fully fit.
I would agree, except on Saturday he wasn't wearing the tape on his thigh that he had in previous games.
-
A big chance for Olsen to prove his doubters wrong.
-
In all seriousness, I think we're going to enjoy this more than we all think.
I’ll have what you’re drinking please.
-
Nothing expected here. Just don't ship a ton of goals and ruin our goal difference.
-
Right, let's get this fucking over with.
-
A big chance for Olsen to prove his doubters wrong.
Playing behind Lenglet and Carlos he'll certainly have plenty of chances to prove how good a shotstopper he is
-
Just seen the team. I’m wondering whether to go back to bed.
-
This is going to be like the 6-1 home defeat I'm afraid. Fucking hell, that's the GD bollocksed.
-
A mate in our whattsapp group has heard summat about there being a sickness bug in the camp.
-
Just seen the team. I’m wondering whether to go back to bed.
Im sure the decision will be made for you 10 mins in 😂
-
Incredible to think that only 4 of tonight's line up started in the home game v these.
-
A mate in our whattsapp group has heard summat about there being a sickness bug in the camp.
I can't see it being anything else.
-
I wonder if Spurs had won last night, whether Unai would’ve gone so weak?
was just saying that to my toffees mate and he agreed
-
Right come on Villa. Give it your best shot. IEWT.
-
Not well enough to go out to the pub so it's Extreme Score Avoidance until now and Match of the Day. "Internet" what's that..
..wish I"d held off my 10-5 bet till just now, odds must've shot up...
-
I'm already frustrated with the commentary on the channel I'm watching. It's gonna be a long night!
-

We're 13/1 to win now, they're 1/6.
-
From the team that started in the home match against Man City, only Carlos, Konsa, Digne and Luiz are starting tonight, which says it all.
-
Fuck me, that's a scary lineup.
-
A big chance for Olsen to prove his doubters wrong.
Playing behind Lenglet and Carlos he'll certainly have plenty of chances to prove how good a shotstopper he is
😂 I think Alvarez is a clever selection by Guardiola. Fear his movement will destroy Carlos.
-
Come on you chaos boys!!
-
This is a free hit, as long as we don't get hammered. Very brave line-up even though they too, have some massive quality not starting.
-
A mate in our whattsapp group has heard summat about there being a sickness bug in the camp.
Could be true as they just said martinez is out with illness
-
Oh well. Here goes… Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is the wine of choice tonight…
-
Mccoist is fucking me off already
-
Oh well. Here goes… Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is the wine of choice tonight…
Your selection tonight will probably prove better than Unai's.
-
Fuck, Ally McCoist!
-
Oh well. Here goes… Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is the wine of choice tonight…
Your selection will probably prove better than Unai's.
I hope so - especially as Sophie chose this tonight!
-
Nice move citeh.
Great pass by grealish
-
Oh well. Here goes… Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is the wine of choice tonight…
I hope you've got a whole case.
-
Illness makes sense.
-
Oh well. Here goes… Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is the wine of choice tonight…
I hope you've got a whole case.
Just started bidding on one through the bidding server. Think my bids will go up by the end of the night.
-
Ref not giving us a free for that?
-
Rumours are of stomach bug going around team.
That sounds feasible looking at the line up.
I had a dodgy kebab from Moss Side once after I went to see Villa and HAcienda after.
-
God its like a villa home game 😂
-
Arsenal 2 up, pressure on Man City.
-
Booing Grealish will only make him try harder.
-
God its like a villa home game 😂
Our fans sound unbelievable, don't they!
-
Duran down now
-
Ok, thanks ref, seen enough so final whistle now would be just fine. Thanks in advance!
-
I got Savage last night and now this twat.
-
Well done Olsen
-
The Cloudy Bay Te Koko lasted 8 minutes into the game.
Sophie has gone to the cellar and pulled out a Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc now.
I think Sophie is feeling this game more than I am.
-
that was a sweaty bum moment
-
God its like a villa home game 😂
Our fans sound unbelievable, don't they!
“Robin Olsen, the worlds number 2” lol
-
Good catch Olsen, well done man.
-
God its like a villa home game 😂
Our fans sound unbelievable, don't they!
“Robin Olsen, the worlds number 2” lol
Haha excellent!
-
Some sloppy defending there
-
1-0 to the bad guys
-
1 0 ffs
-
1-0 to the bad guys
Damn.
-
Of courss and its been coming we look a mess
Game over
-
This is going to be a long night.
-
Of courss and its been coming we look a mess
Game over
Harsh
-
Can we be allowed a goal if we can get over the halfway line?
-
Come on VAR!!!
-
Oh well, We lasted 10 minutes.
-
Off?
-
Surely offside?
-
Doku off surely?
-
Var. offside
-
couild be off
-
Back to YouTube documentaries I go
-
Goal stands.
-
Nope, given.
-
lets see the lines then???
-
This is going to be a long night.
Luckily I'm already a few beers deep, so bedtime soon
-
Nah, he was off.
-
Fucking shit from the start and fully expected given the line up
-
That looked onside to me
-
Commentators wanking pretty hard over a fairly average goal.
-
Of courss and its been coming we look a mess
Game over
Harsh
Given his track record from last night it's now given me a massive burst of confidence that we'll hammer them.
-
Are Torres and Bailey both ill as well then?
-
If we're not up against it enough....
-
Looked tight, would've liked to see the lines though.
-
man, I can't stomach this.
-
hopefully they'll declare now like the disgrace of gijon
-
Where were the lines?
-
2 x CMs not communicating allowing a free run into box by Rodri. This is going to be a long night.
-
Decent
-
Their defence is no shakes, we just need to get at them.
-
Looked tight, would've liked to see the lines though.
[/quotonly lines If Villa had scored
-
Duran off but better
-
It is what it is tonight, dont see Bailey, Tielemans and Torres on the bench unless they’re not 100%
-
That was a great effort by Duran.
-
Hate these more than any other club by far.
If Blues played them in the cup I'd supoort Blues.
I dream of the day MC fold.
-
Where were the lines?
Villa didnt score
-
Sigh. I'm sick of us turning up to these games believing we're beaten before it even kicks off.
-
I don't think that was off.
-
Where were the lines?
It looked very close and deserved much more scrutiny than the cursory glance it got.
-
I had lines on my broadcast..?
-
Sigh. I'm sick of us turning up to these games believing we're beaten before it even kicks off.
it's more likely due to the fact we have 4 starters from our last meeting in the team. 7 out.
-
Why do some people feel that it’s necessary to boo a player, just because he used to play for Villa - and played very well?
-
I had lines on my broadcast..?
me too.
-
Hate these more than any other club by far.
If Blues played them in the cup I'd supoort Blues.
I dream of the day MC fold.
Yeah, they are like 90s Man Ure, 00s Chelski and 80s Liverpool all rolled into one. I absolutely despise them
-
If I ever hear anybody commiserating with Spurs or Liverpool or anyone else about their "injury problems", I'm going to hunt them down and be sick in their pocket.
-
I'm also fucking sick to the back teeth of Rodri. He can fuck off.
-
Why do some people feel that it’s necessary to boo a player, just because he used to play for Villa - and played very well?
That's not why he gets booed.
-
Booking surely for shirt pulling. Oh but no it's them.
-
I'm also fucking sick to the back teeth of Rodri. He can fuck off.
Top player tbf

-
Well fuck my old boots.
-
They wanted to disallow it SO much
-
Superb goal big man.
-
lol, VAR check for what..?
Duran take a bow, son. He's got so much promise.
-
how long they spending on our goal
unreal - that they even needed to check
It was considerably longer and much more obviously onside.
-
Duran with a unbelievable finish
What a move that was
-
Brilliant goal, well done Duran.

Duran goal

-
Thank God for our fans, otherwise it'd be as much atmosphere as the moon
-
Well done olsen!
-
Zaniolo was a bit like Mcginn on the goalkeeper for freekicks there - just pure distraction tactics. I love it.
-
Can only hear our fans. Theirs are just silent, the emptyhad lives up to its name.
-
That was never a throw.
-
That was never a throw.
Agreed
-
Duran is great when he’s pissed off
-
Of courss and its been coming we look a mess
Game over
Are you going to give it a rest now?
-
Bit strange but when we scored, McCoist sounded like... Well, like someone had just been sick in his pocket.
-

Rumours are that it was Emi and half our first team.
-
Zaniolo was a bit like Mcginn on the goalkeeper for freekicks there - just pure distraction tactics. I love it.
Considering how excitable and "run at every ball he can see" he usually is, he was remarkably level-headed in just leaving it.

Mm, agreed. He does have a sophistication to his play, it just hasn't quite come off. I'm glad he's growing into things now.
-

Great ball by Rogers, and finish by Big Bad Jhon.
-

Yeah,another "Big 4" apologist
Sectarian abuse apologist as well, 'till he quickly backtracked today.
-

-
Zaniolo is doing well on the ball today.
-
Fuck off Grealish

Joe booked. Love it, the gobby little shit.

You are abit late.
Nope ill post what i like thanks

Switched McCoist off, and switched Beglin off now.
Watching in silence. Except for my heart beating ten to the dozen
-
How the fuck did that gormless twat Carson end up at Man City?
I wondered that too.
-
How the fuck did that gormless twat Carson end up at Man City?
Gormless yes but earning money for nothing. Clever chap.
-
wtf ref
-
Hows that not a foul ??
-
wtf ref
seriously.. wtf?
and waves to get up, what a prat!
-
Ref nailing his colours to the mast ,I see
-
Well saved Olsen!
-
Kick Joe to fuck now, get him riled and sent off.
-
Ref watching a different game there
-
Olsen great save
-
ffs that was gbh on duran they were all having a pop
-
Great save Olsen, well done son.
-
Good save Olsen.
-
Great save olsen !!
-
Doug booked
-
Disgrace by Greasy
-
Doug booked
Is that him out for Saturday?
-
This is the 5th season Carson has been there as 3rd choice. Apparently he's highly regarded on the coaching side.
-
the level of excitement from the commentators when the oil boys get into the box is wild. wish it went both ways..
-
Get up you greasy diving c***.
-
Thats gotta be one booking for dougie i think until a 2 game ban
-
Doug booked
Is that him out for Saturday?
No. If he’s booked on Saturday he’ll get a 2 game ban.
-
Doug booked
Is that him out for Saturday?
I think a booking in the next league game takes him to 10 and a 2 match ban. After that game he's good.
-
He’s got to make it through tonight yet!
-
Would never want Greadish back
-
Zaniolo back to falling over and giving it away constantly.
-
Zaniolo losing ball too cheaply
-
They're getting on top a touch
-
Doug booked
Is that him out for Saturday?
I think a booking in the next league game takes him to 10 and a 2 match ban. After that game he's good.
Cheers

Why do our players just seem to bounce off theirs? Rodri is a big fucker, but the rest of them are average.
-
this ref is manc fan then
-
We're not helping ourselves with our clearances quite often.
-
Why do our players just seem to bounce off theirs? Rodri is a big fucker, but the rest of them are average.
Doku looks solid enough
-
Dirty tricks by Rodri
-
BBC live text doing a Duran Duran punathon.
-
I’ve just been watching the clock all half!
-
We've got to get Diaby involved on the break. We're going left every time out.
-
4 mins extra?
-
another Dougie foul
-
4 mins added time
-
Doug needs to be careful
-
2-1 ffs
-
Some of these players will be blowing through their arseholes in the second half - not used to playing these minutes especially without the ball like this.
-
2 1 foden
-
Beglin needs shooting into the sun
-
Yep you just knew it right before HT
Lame
-
Grealish asking for a second yellow for Dougie. Carry on booing boys. Twat.
-
DAMN
-
the wall was shite
-
Shit wall
-
Grealish asking for a second yellow for Dougie. Carry on booing boys. Twat.
I think the word you're thinking of is actually C.U.N.T.
-
Mild applause from the home fans
-
Zaniolo jumped out the way
-
Emery's going to fuming with that defending.
-
That’ll be the game sadly, they’ll run through us in the second. Doug probably needs to get hooked.
-
should never have scored that
-
Amateur hour with that wall there
-
Shit free kick tbh - just awful wall
-
Twat Zaniolo. Get him off, shit again.
-
Slide on your knees you absolute twats.
-
Went through the wall FFS. Can't afford cock ups like that.
-
That's no wall!
-
Zaniolo jumping out the way.
-
What a poor wall.
Can you even call that a wall? Move like a fence thats getting blown over
-
The so called wall was fucking pathetic.
-
Think Luiz needs to come off. He’s doing his best to give City the advantage and has now succeeded. Also, my bet is he’ll get sent off if he doesn’t get substituted.
-
Man, giving away that free kick, the wall. Frustrating from us, after a decent half.
-
we had done ok up to then but giving free kicks outside the box with 2 mins to go ,, its going to happen with a wall like blancmange
-
zaniola turned his back. just take one in the nut sack >:(
-
Why has Fido got Tim’s number 47 tattooed on his neck?
-
Fucking disgraceful defending.
Crap defending in the build up.
Pathetic free kick to give away.
And absolutely fucking criminal behaviour from the wall
-
Rubbish from zavinola
-
Stand there. That's all you've got to do, fucking stand there.
-
Twat Zaniolo. Get him off, shit again.
Eh? He's been good apart from that.
-
Well done lenglet
-
What a shit goal to concede.
-
The way their fans celebrated you'd think it was a 90th minute goal to make it 7-0 v Aldershot in the LC 3rd round, not a vital goal in a title challenge right before HT.
-
Well done Olsen
-
I would genuinely fine Zaniolo 2 weeks wages for that. Fucking coward
-
Zaniolo proving he isn't worth the oxygen he is stealing.
-
HT
-
Zaniolo proving he isn't worth the oxygen he is stealing.
Not having that
-
Zaniolo is a fkin disgrace
-
The way their fans celebrated you'd think it was a 90th minute goal to make it 7-0 v Aldershot in the LC 3rd round, not a vital goal in a title challenge right before HT.
Despise them
-
Another good save Olsen.
-
some of the comments on here about our own players, you'd think this is a spurs forum. my god, we're playing away at the Etihad with our reserves. I think we've done well for the most part and surely giving it a better go, with fewer resources, than Arsenal did.
-
Twat Zaniolo. Get him off, shit again.
Eh? He's been good apart from that.
No point being good if you do what he done. That was awful for him and totally avoidable goal
-
I think they're going to have to peel the commentators off their seats. I counted 12 times they creamed their pants over City.
-
What a gutter that is. Luiz doing his best to get sent off.
-
I didn't think Zaniolo has been that bad today. Weak in the wall, of course, but tidy otherwise. Seen more of him that Diaby or Rodgers for instance.
-
Did well overall, should be going in level.
-
We’re still in it, we can create something out of nothing. I’d be tempted to bring on Bailey for Diably and be tempted to bring on Tielemans for Zaniola.
-
Villa should keep their heads up. Yes, everything from the gifted freekick to the walk was crap, but we’ve played quite decently in parts as an away team.
-
Zaniolo proving he isn't worth the oxygen he is stealing.
Rescued two critical points for us this season to keep us in the top 4. A tad harsh!
-
Take one in the face if you have to, but don't pull away from the other players in the wall, or turn your back.
-
Considering the absentees, we've done so well.
-
Villa should keep their heads up. Yes, everything from the gifted freekick to the walk was crap, but we’ve played quite decently in parts as an away team.
Definitely, I agree.
-
You never, ever see shots going through a wall like that.
Not in any level of football.
-
We can definitely score more against this lot second half.
-
What a gutter that is. Luiz doing his best to get sent off.
Nope. 'Villa fan' Grealish doing his best to get him sent off. That ****** has gone even further down in my opinions tonight.
-
Not a bad performance all things considered, really soft goal to concede.
-
I would genuinely fine Zaniolo 2 weeks wages for that. Fucking coward
Dress him up like a little girl for 2 weeks. Pathetic.
-
We've done well - the CB and CM haven't done well enough keeping the ball - shame that the wall was so poor for that.
I would be tempted to take Morgan off for Bailey seems over his head.
-
Shame to concede just before HT, especially when they've got Haaland and KDB on their bench.
-
Zani oh no! What was he thinking
-
The Liverpool fans watching think Luiz was fortunate enough not to get sent off, and should be hooked before he is.
-
Zaniolo was very poor in the wall, Konsa wasn't great, Luiz is reckless giving free kicks away, it was not good all round.
-
I’d take a 2-1 defeat right now. They look like scoring every time they go forward. Diaby May as well not be on the pitch but Duran’s working his socks off.
-
Tim and Olsen deserve a mention, both done well so far.
-
Poor second goal to give away but we are far from out of this at the moment.
-
Overall, broken wall aside, thought we were good value at 1-1. Room for optimism second half, expect Bailey and Tielemans around 60 mins.
-
Luiz is an idiot for getting booked and I'd be tempted to take him off but without him our midfield is paper and ribbons. Tielemans doesn't have Luiz's ability and energy off the ball.
The atmosphere sounds shite from the tv. Twice I could pick-out a scowly Shaun Ryder Manc twat swearing and blinding.
-
Tim has looked likeweight at times . Get Bailey and Youri on now and give it a go.
Dougie needs to be careful . Gave away possession too easy at times and ref has gave them most stuff.
Grealish is an absolute toss pot . I remember him diving against us and getting a pen , no idea why the c n u t wants to do that and get Doug sent off too. C n u t .
-
Zaniolo will currently be getting a round of fucks for that. Otherwise all things considered that's about as good as it could be.
-
Tim and Olsen deserve a mention, both done well so far.
Agreed, Olsen especially has been excellent.
-
That line up has played better than it has any right to in all fairness. Was frustrating City and looking a threat in transition.
To concede a goal like that is so fucking triggering
-
Twat Zaniolo. Get him off, shit again.
Eh? He's been good apart from that.
Yeah been very good but that's Sunday league stuff. Carlos and Duran is giving Dias a fair old battle. Rogers and Diaby nice touches at times.
We have battled well considering everything. Look dangerous when we break and scored a cracking goal. Terrible defending for both goals. Worried about Luiz, fortunate not to get a second yellow before half time and Grealish will ensure he gets one.
-
Yes they fuck about with the ball for eons, but the most incisive move of the half was for our goal.
-
The most classic villa thing you could imagine that was. Played really well considering who's out there. The players will be fuming with Zaniolo
-
I didn't think Zaniolo has been that bad today. Weak in the wall, of course, but tidy otherwise. Seen more of him that Diaby or Rodgers for instance.
He's struggled defensively all half. Surprised they haven't targeted him more. What a poor goal to concede after we'd had an OKish half really.
-
Being in the wall is literally the only skill I could offer. Stand there and let it hit you ....no goal. He should be getting pelters in the dressing room the lily.
-
Zaniolo was very poor in the wall, Konsa wasn't great, Luiz is reckless giving free kicks away, it was not good all round.
Yeah, proper daft from all three of them really.
-
Luiz should not be giving away that free kick where he did, shit yellow as well. Zaniola has been doing reasonably well apart from avoiding the free kick.
-
Zaniolo's given the ball away loads, and just falls over when crowded out. Rubbish.
-
Poor second goal to give away but we are far from out of this at the moment.
I reckon if we were a couple up with 10 mins left, their bench could come on and win it.
-
That line up has played better than it has any right to in all fairness. Was frustrating City and looking a threat in transition.
To concede a goal like that is so fucking triggering
Yes, that’s the sort of lineup that has struggled against some crap in Europe.
-
One mistake by Zaniolo, and everyone's on his back again 😡. Great fans, eh?
-
We were in it up until Luiz and Zaniolo gave them a gift of a goal. They look vulnerable to the counter, but we really needed to get to HT on level terms. We'll be lucky to get a point now.
-
Doug probably needs to be replaced, but we can't do without his physicality. Loving Morgan right now and Jhon's goal was a great team effort. We're still in this. UTV
-
Zaniolo's given the ball away loads, and just falls over when crowded out. Rubbish.
Mate, you've just got rage covering your eyes. He's been fine. Better than Diaby for instance.
-
Luiz should not be giving away that free kick where he did, shit yellow as well. Zaniola has been doing reasonably well apart from avoiding the free kick.
Luckily didn’t get sent off, I wonder if Unai will drag him off
-
Zaniolo can't tackle, time a pass or beat a man...how is saying he's a waste of oxygen unfair? That's without his diving away from a freekick being even taken into account. Thought Rogers has looked decent in comparison. Bailey for Zaniolo at halftime, please.
-
One mistake by Zaniolo, and everyone's on his back again 😡. Great fans, eh?
It’s just the game.
-
Worked hard against largely one way traffic from the fraudsters . Lovely goal by Duran .
-
Zaniolo is very poorly defensively full stop. Does one good thing every three times he gets the ball. We need more because he could be a really decent player.
-
One mistake by Zaniolo, and everyone's on his back again 😡. Great fans, eh?
Its not a mere "mistake" though. It was fucking pathetic and borderline cowardly. Paid an absolute fortune and thinks he's above putting his body in the way of the ball
-

Yep, kids in the playground will take one in the knackers to save a goal.
-
Calm down!
-

Mistake?
Cowardice.
-
We've done well - the CB and CM haven't done well enough keeping the ball - shame that the wall was so poor for that.
I would be tempted to take Morgan off for Bailey seems over his head.
Roger’s looked good I thought, like him a lot.
-

He didn’t dive, he twisted around.
He was a big part of the goal.
-

That's semantics buddy. He should have stayed where the keeper told him to be.
-
Let’s get Bailey on and give them a go.
I’d love nothing better than to get some sort of results against these total c…..
-
Zaniolo's given the ball away loads, and just falls over when crowded out. Rubbish.
Mate, you've just got rage covering your eyes. He's been fine. Better than Diaby for instance.
He's been dispossessed three times, the most of anybody on the pitch. He's just a liability.
-
One mistake by Zaniolo, and everyone's on his back again 😡. Great fans, eh?
What you expect our fans to applaud him for that ? Rightly getting criticised as it was his fault that went in. Hopwfully hw can make up for it 2nd half
-
Yes proud of the team given the circumstances. Emerys influence feel of. Rogers very good, also Zaniolo I think. Diaby with all his potential fails to deliver to often. Sorry to say this but Tim is not filling in as he should, way to slow to react and to run just jogging around - Douglases problems seems to be down to hin being alone in DM and Tim not being there ish (see especially the happenings before Douglas s yellow - is he banned for next game?). Get Tielemans and Leon on for Tim and Diaby. And of course in my eyes Emi would have saved those two given by Olsen.
-
I think Zaniolo has been decent apart from the free kick. I wouldnt take him off, Id send him out there knowing he owes us one.
-
One mistake by Zaniolo, and everyone's on his back again 😡. Great fans, eh?
It’s just the game.
Not really a mistake. He chickened out of blocking the free kick. That’s a choice.
-
Their 2nd, red sea didn't part as much as that wall
https://twitter.com/CorineG11855/status/1775614950242763054
-
Yuri for Dougie and Bailey for Zaniolo. Grealish to get a booking and walk.
-
Zaniolo can't tackle, time a pass or beat a man...how is saying he's a waste of oxygen unfair? That's without his diving away from a freekick being even taken into account. Thought Rogers has looked decent in comparison. Bailey for Zaniolo at halftime, please.
We haven't got anyone who can play the 'Ramsey' role well.in his absence.
-
Yep he bottled it in that wall. No two ways about it.
-
Their 2nd, red sea didn't part as much as that wall
https://twitter.com/CorineG11855/status/1775614950242763054
Jumps out the way of the ball, pathetic.
-
Zaniolo proving he isn't worth the oxygen he is stealing.
A bit harsh that. I think he's played well.
Still think we can get something out of this.
-
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Grealish replaced at or soon after half time.
-
We are in a timeline where a largely second string villa team can go to the Emptyhad and compete, feeling aggrieved to be behind.
Things aren't that bad!
-
Also re : Zaniolo everybody says he does well for Italy, no goals or assists for over 4 years...just saying.
-
Zaniolo clearly at fault for the goal, but it was a needless free kick given away by Doug, there was also another one earlier he made, which fortunately went over the bar. I love the bloke, he's had a great season, but more than any other player this season, he given free kicks away on the edge of our box.
-
Zaniolo can't tackle, time a pass or beat a man...how is saying he's a waste of oxygen unfair? That's without his diving away from a freekick being even taken into account. Thought Rogers has looked decent in comparison. Bailey for Zaniolo at halftime, please.
Cos it's nasty and mean spirited
-
All that said...Come on lads lets go and show what we are made of in the second half.
-
City only have 500m worth of talent to get off the bench
-
It’s always the same isn’t it.
It’s rarely a moment of brilliance that beats us in these games.
It’s always something that is utterly fucking preventable.
-
Having watched the replay I'm even more pissed off with their second goal. That free kick was piss poor. Any half decent U16's team would have kept that out.
-
Also re : Zaniolo everybody says he does well for Italy, no goals or assists for over 4 years...just saying.
Rescued two vital points for us against Sheff Utd and West Ham, the two points that are keeping us above Spurs in fourth. He was an emergency loan really after Buendia got injured but does everything have to be so black and white?
-
No changes
-
Come on Villa. Just make us proud.
-
is this twitter.. the bickering and nasty nature of match threads on H&V has been unbelievable this season. Our best campaign in decades - what is going on?
-
keep it as is for the next 10mins at least
-
Having watched the replay I'm even more pissed off with their second goal. That free kick was piss poor. Any half decent U16's team would have kept that out.
Also fuming as Foden hardly had a kick first half. Shit free kick and he scores.
-
No changes
I'll say it now. Luiz should have been hooked
-
Come on Villa. Just make us proud.
They have done thus far. 7 players out and not at all outclassed.
Shout out for Olsen, had a great game. Same for Lenglet.
-
olsen another save
-
Olsen doing well again
-
Diaby needs to get into the game
-
Olsen done excellently
-
Another great save by Olsen.
-
Great run Diaby, then a terrible final ball
-
Dibay had to do better there - great run but needed to keep it up there end
-
I’m only just tuning in for the 2nd half, but my god… their ground. It’s soulless.
-
Diaby needs to get into the game
great run , shite final ball
-
Diaby with a surging run but nobody up with him
-
Bailey will come on and score.
-
Rodri dive
-
The ref is an utter wanker where Duran is concerned.
Blows up for any little thing Duran does, yet offers him no protection whatsoever
-
Diaby with a surging run but nobody up with him
Actually Digne was up with him
-
Judging by the lack of atmosphere you'd think the Man City fans were watching UB40 rather than a vital game in the title race.
-
I like Rodri. But man is he a sneaky get
-
I like Rodri. But man is he a sneaky get
He is what we lack.
-
I hope to god that we never become as dreadfully soulless and industrial as this bunch of dicks are.
And I hope the gods of FFP relegate them so far that they never recover
-
I like Rodri. But man is he a sneaky get
I don't like anyone that plays for Man City - mercenaries the lot of them
-
More I see of Rodgers, more I think he will be a great signing.
-
Close! Good move
-
Id get bailey on for zaniolo soon tbh if baileys fit
-
Great move Villa
-
Shot to easy for keeper.
-
great break from Vila
started by Zaniolo
-
Close again
-
Lovely counter
-
twice close Villa
-
Ooh, nice play there. Perhaps could have done better
-
Great ball from Zaniolo.
-
Luiz should have done better there - great move
-
Lovely move there, Dougie unlucky.
-
More I see of Rodgers, more I think he will be a great signing.
Rogers
-
More I see of Rodgers, more I think he will be a great signing.
Rogers
sorry
-
More I see of Rodgers, more I think he will be a great signing.
Rogers
They're both good prospects
-
honey monster warming up
-
Still think we can get a goal back, playing well here.
-
Oh Zani
-
This feels like they’ll sucker us with a third
-
Wrong option there
-
I think we can get another here. Get Bailey on… push them back
-
God zaniolo 🤦♂️
-
FFS.
-
I think we can get another here. Get Bailey on… push them back
Get everyone on who isn't sick.
-
Zaniolo, pass the ball!!
-
Ok maybe Rogers is having a good game. He looks like he is blowing though.
Zanilio has been ok bar the wall
-
Dignes crossing been shite tonight
-
Get Bailey on, take off Doug and go full chaos!!
-
3-1
-
Rogers has been great.
-
3 1
-
Cock it
-
FFS
-
Shite
-
So has it been confirmed all these key players are sick tonight?
-
goal difference same as spurs now
-
FFS
-
Bollocks
-
I worry the floodgates are about to open
-
diaby weak as fuck
-
Game over
Subs too late unai -ill done for night now. Good night all
-
Rodri and Foden are unbelievable
-
Fuck off Foden. And McCoist shoots his load again.
-
And there it is. This’ll go on to be 4/5, very bloody annoying.
-
Plenty of time to get two back.
-
Bastard Foden been superb, the bastard twat
-
Diaby just gave up then.
-
Diaby might as well not be on the pitch awful tonight.
-
Konsa captain now Doug is off
-
Diaby might as well not be on the pitch awful tonight.
Agreed, utter shite.
-
diaby weak as fuck
Really poor effort there.
-
Weird subs
-
Well beating these c*nts 3-4 will feel amazing
-
Diaby might as well not be on the pitch awful tonight.
Ah well, without him we wouldn’t have won on Saturday.
-
diaby weak as fuck
He has been poor tonight with his use of the ball and then put the red carpet out for Rodri.
Game over.
-
well we've had two decent breakaways and not capitalised. Then we get punished.
-
Diaby might as well not be on the pitch awful tonight.
yeah very poor tonight
should have been 4 then
-
I’ll take 3-2 right now.
Bearing in mind what the hell we have going on behind the scenes, this is a good performance.
-
That shit fucking free kick has cost us this. Go in 1-1 and it's very different.
-
We’ve pretty much played our reserve team in this match.
-
Damage limitation now.
-
This could become brutal.
-
Good to see Zaniolo still on the pitch.
-
Bastard Foden been superb, the bastard twat
And he'll probably do sod all in the Euros for England now!
-
Who went off? Luiz, Iroegbunam and who else?
-
I'd take full time now.
-
I just hope we don't collapse now. This hasn't been a performance that deserves a pasting.
-
Where’s the booking for Lewis there??!
-
Who went off? Luiz, Iroegbunam and who else?
diaby
-
Bastard Foden been superb, the bastard twat
He's been like he always is. He's an above average winger in the Harlem fucking Globetrotters. First goal? Gift. That one, slightly better. But fuck me, it's these games he gets his undeserved rep from. I honestly don't see it with him at all.
-
Who went off? Luiz, Iroegbunam and who else?
Diary for bailey
-
konsa what you doing ...
-
I’m already looking forward to funeralling Brentford on Saturday
-
I’ll take 3-2 right now.
Bearing in mind what the hell we have going on behind the scenes, this is a good performance.
I'd take 3-3.
-
Not laying a glove on them last 10 mins
-
Game over
Subs too late unai -ill done for night now. Good night all
You said that after 11 minutes.
-
Who went off? Luiz, Iroegbunam and who else?
Diaby
-
why they winning all the 50/50 's
-
4-1 Foden
-
Fucking chambers ….wanker
-
mccoist will spunk now 4 1
-
Oh fuck off!
-
4-1 Foden
Damn. When we lose, it's never by fine margins!
-
Please don’t let that chavvy little runt Foden get a third. I couldn’t bear the media jizz fest.
-
He's good, isn't he?
-
I'm a bit ticked off that this has been another sit back and watch them pass the ball around game. We're better than that.
And for fuck's sake, what was that?
-
Bastard Foden been superb, the bastard twat
He's been like he always is. He's an above average winger in the Harlem fucking Globetrotters. First goal? Gift. That one, slightly better. But fuck me, it's these games he gets his undeserved rep from. I honestly don't see it with him at all.
You were saying?
-
fucking chamberss, what a joke
-
Please don’t let that chavvy little runt Foden get a third. I couldn’t bear the media jizz fest.
Got some bads news there Jon…
-
Please don’t let that chavvy little runt Foden get a third. I couldn’t bear the media jizz fest.
Oh dear Jon.
-
Please don’t let that chavvy little runt Foden get a third. I couldn’t bear the media jizz fest.
FFS
-
Fuck off Chambers.
-
Try not gifting them so many goal eh Villa. Moreno on for Duran.
-
FFS - so our reserves arent as good as a team with 115 FFP charges.
-
They'll need the cleaners in to clear up the jizz in the commentary box.
-
We’ve thrown this game.
-
However bad things are, why is Chambers on the pitch?
-
He's good, isn't he?
He’s been different class.
-
We’re folding like a deck of cards here.
-
This is about what I expected after seeing the starting line up. Maybe what Unai expected to?
-
Fucking chambers ….wanker
So many times we've had the ball and just walked it right into their possession.
-
Cameraman pans to the "Polish Blues" scarf in the crowd, ha what a joke club. Hardly anyone on their feet.
-
Damage limitation now. Turning off, the Foden jizzfest is too much.
-
We’ve thrown this game.
Yep. Think Emery had written off it like the cup games.
-
This is gonna be a proper decoration job.
-
mccoist will spunk now 4 1
Richard Wilford on WM will too, the Bluenose ****!
-
Must be great being financially doped.
Foden would be playing for Liverpool or Chelsea had MC not won the lottery.
I can't wait until they're found guilty.
Lance Armstrong FC.
-
Is it 4-1 now? Oh man, I never expected this.
-
We’ve thrown this game.
Did you think that at 1-1?
-
Is there any chance Olsen can move when they have a shot?
-
4 1 up and the FFP cheats fans have woken up. What a bunch of twats.
-
I'm a bit ticked off that this has been another sit back and watch them pass the ball around game. We're better than that.
And for fuck's sake, what was that?
Spurs was unacceptable but we have 7 players out compared to our 1-0 win at home.
-
We’ve thrown this game.
This has MON in Moscow vibes about it now. Granted we've got players out, but the attitude has been totally wrong from manager and players
-
Oh well. At least I'll win some money on this game now
-
FO with that poxy gun celebration too. Totally inappropriate. T••t.
-
some fucker take the chav out at least
rogers just hit it
-
Bastard Foden been superb, the bastard twat
He's been like he always is. He's an above average winger in the Harlem fucking Globetrotters. First goal? Gift. That one, slightly better. But fuck me, it's these games he gets his undeserved rep from. I honestly don't see it with him at all.
You were saying?
I was saying what I was saying. Overrated. But whatever.
-
Grealish is a tosser really.
-
We were maybe 3 players off the strongest 11 we could, but we have no idea how fit they are with the rumours of illness in the team. We did not throw it.
-
We’ve thrown this game.
So the missing players was a conscious choice and not forced? I’m at work so trying to work out why he picked the team he did.
-
We’ve thrown this game.
This has MON in Moscow vibes about it now. Granted we've got players out, but the attitude has been totally wrong from manager and players
Hang on 20 minutes ago we were unlucky to be behind?!
-
Grealish is a tosser really.
he can go visit McCoist after , he will do it for him.
-
if foden left city where every pass is into stride he'd be the next steven ireland. remember agbonlahor looked good surrounded by decent players.
-
Grealish is a tosser really.
Yep, major shitbag.
-
We've gifted them this. They haven't had to play that well really.
-
Is there any chance Olsen can move when they have a shot?
I think he's shit but no keeper in the world is saving those last 2 from Foden. He's done OK today so far.
-
Bastard Foden been superb, the bastard twat

You don't see it? Bloody hell let me know when you see a decent player.
-
So it's ok to slag off some incredibly good players because they play for another team...glad to know the rules
-
So, no forwards then. Might as well have just put all the U21s in Unai.
-
Their second was the killer
-

Will do.
-
Chambers ?
Where the fuck did that come from
-
You don’t see it from Foden? Really?!
-
Battered as expected
-
So it's ok to slag off some incredibly good players because they play for another team...glad to know the rules
Yeah but Grealish is a simpering prick.
-
We should have just called in sick and conceded the 3 points. At least the goal difference wouldn't have taken such a hit.
-
FO with that poxy gun celebration too. Totally inappropriate. T••t.
Is the correct answer.
-
we need a 4 0 against Brentford . Ill forget about this quick

Not happy about it at all but he’s excellent.
-
Another injury, what a shock.
-
There must be some sort of outbreak in the team. Only explanation of the weird line-up stuff and Chambers coming on.
-
So it's ok to slag off some incredibly good players because they play for another team...glad to know the rules
Good evening Kevan. 8)
-

Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion but its quite a staggering one isn't it
-

Any type of win against Brentford and I'll let them off this one.
-
FO with that poxy gun celebration too. Totally inappropriate. T••t.
He most likely lives in Moss Side.
-

They are incredibly good players but they play for a club who don't play by the rules.
-
kOnsa was coming off
Zaniolo injured
-
Kellyman makes his league debut
-
Ally McCoist can get te fuck too. Such a blubbery wind bag.
-
Not quite sure of our lineup anymore
-
Ive seen them giving for that
probably not but ive seen them
-
City would have had a pen
-
We should have just called in sick and conceded the 3 points. At least the goal difference wouldn't have taken such a hit.
Hm, yes. We would have conceded three goals automatically, I see your thinking. Damage limitation.
-

You love to re surface,
He would have been on earlier, but he was tired after the UB40 gig.
-
We’ve thrown this game.

We have a totally depleted team due ti injury, illnesses and a suspension. This is a patched up team up against a team bankrolled by an oil state. O'Neill chose to play a weakened team. There's a big difference.
-
Not quite sure of our lineup anymore
If they have a pulse and don't have the squits they're on the pitch.
-
looked stone wall to me
-
City would have had a pen
or chelsea
tottenham
manure
Liverpool
-
Is this illness rumour actually a thing (beyond Emi obviously)?
-
You don’t see it from Foden? Really?!
Nope.
-
Their second was the killer
Exactly we needed to get to half time and then Zaniolo threw it in the net.
-
Plenty of positives to take from that. We played well at times and 4-1 is harsh.
Rogers played well. Duran played well. Iroegbunam did well. They will take a lot from that.
The much maligned Olsen, Lenglet and Zaniolo all did OK.
We will win the next two games comfortably.
-
Ally McCoist can get te fuck too. Such a blubbery wind bag.
I thought he was on holiday instead of looking forward to singing about being up to his knees in fenian blood
-
Did the ref just give Foden a hand shake?
-
Their second was the killer
Exactly we needed to get to half time and then Zaniolo threw it in the net.
It was two players parting not the one.
-
Thank fuck Foden has gone off. He turned into vintage Georgie Best tonight.
-
why they even mentioning Manure
-
Fucking bullshit double standard refereeing.
-

Well I don't think we will win it from here!
-
It sounds obvious, but they got their second and third at exactly the right times. The third especially, thought we had a couple of decent counters at 1-2 and the subs were about to freshen it up, and then they got the third
-
Fucking bullshit double standard refereeing.
yep
-
Why didn’t Bailey and Tielemans start? What’s up with Torres?
-
Men against boys this second half. I know it’s a weakened team we’ve put but, our tackling has been half hearted. I’d take the 4-1 just now.
-
We’ve thrown this game.

We have a totally depleted team due ti injury, illnesses and a suspension. This is a patched up team up against a team bankrolled by an oil state [With 115 charges against them for Financial doping that if found guilty should see them playing in league 2 and there countless honours removed]. O'Neill chose to play a weakened team. There's a big difference.
FTFY
-
Did the ref just give Foden a hand shake?
He wanted to give him more.
-
Positives to take from the performance for much of the first half considering the lineup we went into the game with.
2nd half has been a bit of a surrender. Foden is clearly one hell of a footballer
-
Probably gave him a quick wank
-
Did the ref just give Foden a hand shake?
He wanted to give him more.
McCoist will , in the shower, dont worry.
-
Their second was the killer
Exactly we needed to get to half time and then Zaniolo threw it in the net.

Only one jumps out the way.
-
Fucking typical, I get the most solid and stable stream of the season and we’re being battered this half.
-
Why didn’t Bailey and Tielemans start? What’s up with Torres?
No good asking on here, ask Unai.
-
Ooooh Matron.
-
It sounds obvious, but they got their second and third at exactly the right times. The third especially, thought we had a couple of decent counters at 1-2 and the subs were about to freshen it up, and then they got the third
They got 3bn quid to spend at the right time, I know that.
-
Why didn’t Bailey and Tielemans start? What’s up with Torres?
Squad suffering from a bug seems to be the rumour. We have completely emptied since half time.
-
We were doing fine until we decided to start gifting them goals.
-
Grealish , you ARE a fucking wanker
-
Fucking typical, I get the most solid and stable stream of the season and we’re being battered this half.
The opposite for me, made a phone call instead which was far more enjoyable.
-
Not sure you can blame Olsen for this
-
One thing I will say - in the home game - we were better then they have been tonight against a far stronger team.
-
Not sure you can blame Olsen for this
No, Olsen has played well.
-
If we miss out on top4/Champions League on goal difference Unai might regret this line up.
-

The Talking clock would have been more fun.
-

No, Olsen has played well.
He has, even Emi wasn't stopping any of those goals.
-
"Try and get on track" at the weekend against Brentford apparently. Jesus TNT are even worse than Sky.
-
20 minutes left.
-
Not Olsens fault, but his record of conceding goals must be appalling. Almost 4 goals a game I guess
-
Plenty insisted in the Sheff Utd thread that GD wasn't important when some were saying we should have gone to town on them rather then settle for 5.
-
What a fucking ball from Rogers to Bailey. Brilliant.
-
20 minutes left.
?
-
Lovely ball there from Rogers. He does look a prospect
-
Not sure you can blame Olsen for this
No, Olsen has played well.
He has. One of the only positives to take from tonight.
-
We've taken a circuitous route to get there, with even a little hope sprinkled in to fool us, but we've ended up with the tonking we all anticipated when we saw the team.
-
Plenty insisted in the Sheff Utd thread that GD wasn't important when some were saying we should have gone to town on them rather then settle for 5.
Well they were wrong.
-
Not Olsens fault, but his record of conceding goals must be appalling. Almost 4 goals a game I guess
Yes, unfortunate as he’s made some very good saves tonight.
-
On occasion Rogers' movement reminds me of Stan Collymore.
-
At least there's some positives from tonight. Some negatives as well of course but there's a few who have done very well.
-
What a fucking ball from Rogers to Bailey. Brilliant.
One big positive from tonight, he’s had a good game and another 90 minutes at this level for him.
-
if we could just nick another consolation from somewhere just for the GD to piss off spurs
-
Not Olsens fault, but his record of conceding goals must be appalling. Almost 4 goals a game I guess
Oh completely, but it's not his fault for this defeat (which is what I was trying to quote in my initial post but obviously failed!)
-
well done OLsen
-
Would be nice if Emery could give us some insight as to why so many players didn’t start tonight.
-
Goal difference won't matter at the end of the season. We will be well clear of spuds in 4th place. No worries
-
Plenty of positives to take from that. We played well at times and 4-1 is harsh.
Rogers played well. Duran played well. Iroegbunam did well. They will take a lot from that.

We will win the next two games comfortably.
Rogers, Duran, Iroegbunam hardly had a kick second half. Zaniolo and Diaby too.
Luiz had that great chance at 2-1, Diaby could have done better with a run or two but that aside we have barely strung a few passes together since half time. Onto Brentford now
-
Not sure we can blame anyone for this, not sure we know the whole story re this illness suggestion, our injuries are unbelievable and of course no McGinn. The comparison to Moscow is laughable on every level.
-
All you can hear is our lot singing
-
That was a swinger!!
-
Morennnoooo oh .. no
-
On occasion Rogers' movement reminds me of Stan Collymore.
Collymore was shit for us so I hope it's the Forest version you're talking about
-
"Try and get on track" at the weekend against Brentford apparently. Jesus TNT are even worse than Sky.
The commentators and pundits are the same regardless of channel.
-
Lovely ball there from Rogers. He does look a prospect
Has a lovely weight of pass on him. Needs to get a hell of a lot fitter for next season and trim some bulk.
-
Oh Moreno, handsome lad but deeply rubbish this season.
-
I really, really want the TalkSport commentators to have to say, well played, Aston Villa.
It doesn’t look as if it’s tonight, but God, I hope it may be in the future.
Can I just say Foden is a self serving goal scoring pile of crap.
-
Phew
-
On occasion Rogers' movement reminds me of Stan Collymore.
Collymore was shit for us so I hope it's the Forest version you're talking about
Yeh, he never scored any important goals for us.
-
kellymen very poor last few touches
-
I can’t explain why, but I find Oscar Bobb a very annoying name
-
Why did they bother coming out 2nd half? Just pure shite that 2nd half
-
Not sure we can blame anyone for this, not sure we know the whole story re this illness suggestion, our injuries are unbelievable and of course no McGinn. The comparison to Moscow is laughable on every level.
Correct
-
fuck off commentator
-
If we miss out on top4/Champions League on goal difference Unai might regret this line up.
Just as well it was a "free hit" and not a game that actually matters.
-
I can’t explain why, but I find Oscar Bobb a very annoying name
Always makes me think of Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons
-
I’d much rather hear their fans singing with us being 4-1 up.
-
Whilst we've been outplayed, a lot of this has been self-inflicted after a decent performance in the first half
-
We've given the ball away in that central area far too many times today, especially second half and has lead to all their goals
-
And that's that
-
Winning 4-1 and in a great place to win the title. You can hear a pin drop at the Emptihad. Jeez I hope we never get to that state.
-
On occasion Rogers' movement reminds me of Stan Collymore.
Collymore was shit for us so I hope it's the Forest version you're talking about
Yeh, he never scored any important goals for us.
Just the way he moves when with the ball nothing beyond that.
-
Not sure we can blame anyone for this, not sure we know the whole story re this illness suggestion, our injuries are unbelievable and of course no McGinn. The comparison to Moscow is laughable on every level.
Correct
We’ve been stretched prior to this illness and did alright first half. If only we didn’t give away that freekick, might have had a game second half.
-
Why did they bother coming out 2nd half? Just pure shite that 2nd half
Thought you'd gone to bed!
-
Why did they bother coming out 2nd half? Just pure shite that 2nd half
We shouldn’t have bothered and left the forum to you :D :)
-
Shoulder to shoulder on greasy but a foul is given and a yellow? The same against Konsa in the box but no pen given.
What a twat this referee is.
-
That Chambers shoulder barge was exactly the same as Dan Burn’s at the weekend in the Newcastle box which was ‘fair’. I just don’t know any more.
-
Never a 4-1.
That wank wall and Chambers trying to dribble out of defence were the difference between a narrow defeat and what will look like a tonking to the casual observer.
-
Why did they bother coming out 2nd half? Just pure shite that 2nd half
Thought you'd gone to bed!
Villas given me insomnia tonight 😂
-
We’ve thrown this game.
Did you think that at 1-1?
Not necessarily. And I’m not altogether sure it was the wrong thing to do anyway. Was it 3-1 when I posted?
-
If we miss out on top4/Champions League on goal difference Unai might regret this line up.
On what basis, we have no idea what options he had with important games coming fast…honestly get real, 4th in April?!! We want more but come on Unai Emery has been brilliant
-
And I can’t post what ManC are.
There will be a time when they are somewhat less than now. Unai Emery will ensure that happens. It comes to them all.
Well played, our Villa lads!!
-
Decent until the 3rd city goal. Their goal keeper had made two very good saves just before the 3rd and we looked very dangerous on the break...
-
Expected a loss was hoping it wouldnt be heavy but we failed on that.
Just need to ensure we beat brentford now. We were never winning tonight with that team out
-
If there’s a bug going round and with the injuries and McGinn’s suspension we’ve got then what more can be expected from a depleted squad?
I know the national press won’t say anything about it but it’s a fact. Sometimes coaches have to make very tough decisions and Emery has done that tonight. It’s all about 38 games and he knows where we are with the state of the squad.
To get us to where we are with the injuries we’ve had has been unbelievable. With our full squad this game would’ve been a proper contest and that’s what’s called improvement.
A big plus point has been Rogers, he looked decent on Saturday and has carried that on tonight, he looks a very good prospect.
We’ll be back on it on Saturday.
UTV
-
A blip. No more than that. Onwards and Upwards.
-
When the 3rd went in that was enough for me , took the dog a walk. We allowed them too much possession, nobody dealt with Rodri all game and therefore the end result was inevitable. Win Saturday and all is forgiven.
-
Never a 4-1.
That wank wall and Chambers trying to dribble out of defence were the difference between a narrow defeat and what will look like a tonking to the casual observer.
Yep. I have already had some moron tell me that Villa don't deserve 4th if we can get tonked by ManC 4-1.
He admits to only watching us twice, the other being Liverpool, but it shows the level of attention span & intelligence of the modern day fan.
Once I explained to him how many first teamers were missing, he simply replied that Luton gave them a decent game so why couldn't we be organised like they were?
I again mentioned the 9 missing players & asked how much organisation can we get when there are 9 first teamers missing, so any organisation training would be more focused on the 9 first team players missing, as opposed to having three days training with half of their replacements.
Added to the fact that any squad building that we can do to counter the massive amount of missing players is stopped by that FFP/PSR farce.
He just looked at me with a confused blank face like I had just been discussing quantum mechanics with him & added that he will have to watch more of us in the future.
Its not like he hasn't had three quarters of a season already.
Fuckwit.
-
How do Spurs deserve 4th if they lost 3-0 at Fulham? We beat Fulham, therefore we deserve it.
I've met this kind of 'footy fan' before. They have arithmetic issues.
