Foden and Joe on the bench for them.

I'm surprised they didn't tweet the opposition line-up.
-
On paper that's probably our best team. Now let's show it on the pitch.

Well said. Cannot believe they left that up all day.
-
we're going to twat them
-
The leak about citeh's lineup was right then..
-
Foden and Joe on the bench for them.
The guy on the tv said they had a young and inexperienced bench - fucking joke
-
Barring foden and grealish their bench is very weak
-
Come on Villa. Shut our official Twitter account up.
-
Come on Villa. Shut our official Twitter account up.
If we get a result, I wonder if our twitter will send commiserations to our former captain?
-
Andy Townsend and everyone else saying how there should be a warm welcome back for Grealish. Fucking nuts.
-
Win please Villa.
-
Andy Townsend and everyone else saying how there should be a warm welcome back for Grealish. Fucking nuts.
That's why I am so annoyed with the club. Their tweet today feeds that narrative. Should be a big FU to all our detractors, not ammo.
-
That walk along the cinder track to warm the bench will be an interesting one for Joe.
-
I wonder how many bodyguards he'll have
-
Just seen the tweet. Fucking hell.
-
As predicted he got a lovely round of applause. Nice welcome for him to help settle.
-
That walk along the cinder track to warm the bench will be an interesting one for Joe.
Likely to be a vicious enough one alright. Don't think he deserves it personally. But the media narrative about the return of the prodigal son to little old Villa is nauseating.

He will be clapped and politely cheered. Which is weird.

Might as well give him a goal while we're at it.

Sad to see so many of our younger fans have accepted the sky narrative of our status in the game.

Amazon are having a good old fashion, fruitful, wank over Man City

They are at 'another level' you know.

That's a bit fucking depressing.

What was said?

You can see the lift he's had already from the welcome. Honestly, as a football club we're such a soft touch.

If I didn’t, just from watching Amazon, I do now.
Ridiculous. Hope we hump them like a horny dog does a leg.
-
Can somebody send me a pm please? I can't see the game on h*sgoa*.com. Heeelp!
-

Just my take on villa fans applauding that w**ker and fawning over him on social media.

Likely to be on nearer kick-off I'd hope. I pay for prime but still can't get it here.
-
Ok Ta.
-
I’ve been watching Amazon for 25 mins now and it’s all just one massive Man City wankfest.
I don’t care. Not one mention of our form, Gerard’s changes, our tactics.
Pile of fucking shit.
-
I have been a regular and then a season ticket holder at Villa Park since I moved from Glasgow in 1967. I have seen a number of players leave us for, at the time, a more successful club, some of them running their contract down and leaving as a free agent. We got £100,000,000 for JG, so I struggle to understand the level of vitriol on this site at the moment.

Agree mate couldn't say it any better.
People being grateful that the legendary Jack Grealish was associated with our little club at one point. It's utterly PATHETIC.
Really hope we win >:(

I’m struggling to understand your Glaswegian accent.
Joke!
I guess people all have differing levels of how they see stuff.
-
Our starting XI and reserves cost £221m
City? £510m and that's not adding in Mike Dean and Kevin Friend
Bear that in mind before we start moaning if things don't go our way
-
Sad to see so many of our younger fans have accepted the sky narrative of our status in the game.
Sickening isn’t it.
Lets hope tonight’s the night that really kicks of this new era and new heroes start to make there name
-
Is it Manchester City vs Manchester City on Amazon?

Yorke, Barry, Delph. They all get it.
The day we lie down and accept that the glory days are behind us, and the likes of Man bloody City are our betters is the day we may as well just fold up the tent for good.

I have brain block when it comes to VPN. Tried several times and can't work them out.

Ok Ta.
Take out a free Prime account for the month. Then cancel it. Live on there.

I can't watch any pre-match coverage these days, regardless of what channel it's on - it's pure bile.

Assuming we win the toss and he gets on 2nd half, luckily for him he wont be getting near The Holte. If he does he'll be Bob Wilsoned.

I don't accept that our glory days are behind us - i just don't think we're going to be a Champions League club for, at least, another couple of years.
-
Amazon… Man City, Man City, Man City, Ast… that’s enough about them, Man City Man City Man City.
-
A warm round of applause for jack as he went down tunnel from lower Trinity.
-
Ok Ta.

Bet they get a lot of trails this week!

As far as I can tell from Amazon, City have half a dozen players and we have Marvelous Nakamba.

And if he was a villa fan why couldn't he stay and help? He was the highest paid player in our history. He professed a lot of talk about his love for us.
We will agree to disagree here but he has rubbed a lot of us up the wrong way.

Yep they just bank on a percentage forgetting to cancel.
-

Plus we're Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa.
-
If we can get at them from the start, try to deny them possession or as little possession as possible, big ask that, however, optimistic with Gerrard getting the players focused for this, going for a 2-0 monumental victory.
Come on Villa
-
Disappointed that the little shitface seems to be getting away with it. I had to give up my ticket tonight or I'd be there booing my head off.
Please give him a boo from me x

I was at the BoB Wilson game right behind the goal. He seemed to hate us forever after that but ultimately I felt sorry fir him because of what happened to his daughter.
-
That was more like it
-
Much better.

You need a paid service. I'll help you set it up if you're up for a zoom chat at some point.
-
I was also on the Holte that night when Bob walked up to the goal
In fairness to him i can not recall him ever having a bad word to say about us
-
Let’s fuck these plastic fuckers
They’re just a modern Blackburn rovers - were still a bigger club then them
-
Up The Villa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I have Amazon Prime but the picture is lagging a lot on Chrome/Firefox while it's playing perfectly on the mobile so it's not the Internet connection. Annoying.

The browser Opera has a built in VPN which seems to work well when I need it.

Have we touched the ball yet?
-
They're a bit good.
-
Fuck, it's gonna be a long night. They're finding overloads all over the bladdy place.
-
Bloody hell what a terrible start
Gonna be a long night
-
Not been a great start
-
Have we touched the ball yet?
Yeah, Emi pushed it out for a corner... 😕
-
Hmmm. Is this a storm we can weather?
-
We're still in the changing room, need to get into the game
-
Bailey pass teh fuckin ball
-
We are gonna get mullered here.
-
Buendia come on that waa shocking
-
Good work from Bailey there to draw the foul and break the pressure a bit.
-
Wow, in the 5th minute we actually had a few seconds possession...
-
Mcginn giving a needless corner. What the fuck is gojng on??
-
Yeah, try talking to each other...
-
We’re being humped. It’s almost like we’re too scared of them at the moment.
-
Greedy from Bailey
-
Mcginn giving a needless corner. What the fuck is gojng on??
We're playing a team that cost about a billion quid.
-
Buendia has given the ball away cheaply twice already, can't do that against these.
-
I'd take a tight 0-3 now, if offered!
-
Mcginn giving a needless corner. What the fuck is gojng on??
We're playing a team that cost about a billion quid.
We havent even shown up. We look terrified
-
This product is shit. We had a better league 25 years ago when we didn't have charlatans like this lot.
-
Mcginn giving a needless corner. What the fuck is gojng on??
We're playing a team that cost about a billion quid.
We havent even shown up. We look terrified
They're just doing what Man City do.
-
Can we have a turn with the ball, please?
-
God I hate Manchester City.
-
We'll do em 2:0
-
Better
-
Obviously when we win it back and look to break they commit cynical fouls. It's the Pep way. Refs should start dishing out yellows for that shit.
-
Great break by us then. Should shake them up a bit
-
Hope Dougie wakes up
-
It's nominally on Hsgl now. It won't load, but it's there!
-
Why the fuck we trying to play it from the back ??
Hoof the ball out ffs
-
This is horrible to watch really
-
This is horrible to watch really
Well, that's Man Shitty for you.
-
Mcginn giving a needless corner. What the fuck is gojng on??
We're playing a team that cost about a billion quid.
£550m someone said earlier. So only half as good. ..
-
Standard man City. Our best chances will come from the occasional turnover in possession. The moment that happens they foul us as early as possible so it's a foul but they don't get booked. It's a deliberate tactic and it's cheating.
-
Why is McGinn playing centre-back ?
-
Why is McGinn playing centre-back ?
Neccesity is the mother of invention :)
-
Why is McGinn playing centre-back ?
They're all playing centre-back.
-
God I hate Man City
-
i appreciate that they are professional footballers but nothing scares me more than when a Villa team tries to pass it out from the back.
-
Growing into it
Everton losing 2-0. Rafas getting sacked in the morning
-
Why is McGinn playing centre-back ?
Tonight, we are all playing at centre back.
And it probably still won't be enough.
-
Why the fuck we trying to play it from the back ??
Hoof the ball out ffs
I keep looking for the like button. Can we get a like button on here?...
-
Oh, Bailey.
-
Hate to say it,but they are so good, pressing so high and winning the ball back quickly.
-
Fucking hell leon pass the ball
-
Pass it Bailey!!!
-
Fuck me what a pass that is from Ederson.
-
Bailey runs into trouble, he's lucky it breaks to Luiz who also runs into trouble. Really frustrating. Play quick passes forward when they're on.
-
Greedy and shit from Bailey.
-
Too easily dispossessed. And Bailey holding far too long... 😣
-
It's nominally on Hsgl now. It won't load, but it's there!
Just sent you a PM.
-
Cash with the absolute wrong pass there
-
game stretching. Goal coming.
-
Send this fucking Bailey back
-
It's nominally on Hsgl now. It won't load, but it's there!
Just sent you a PM.
I wouldnt mind a PM
-
Fucking buendia is so crap. 40m for a guy who cant make a simlle 5 yard pass??
-
Buendia, right idea. Poorly executed
-
Unlucky from Buendia.
-
Ollie is back to normal, at least. Been superb so far.
-
Losing all thanka to buendia 1-0
Clown
-
Oh well.
-
Ok Ta.
Take out a free Prime account for the month. Then cancel it. Live on there.
Done. Ace.
Oh bollocks. 0-1
-
Oh there you go
-
Buendia is very poor
-
Game over
-
Bailey and Buendia need to improve. We aren't going to get many chances against this lot so choosing the right pass is vital.
Oh bollocks.
-
1-0 City. Screens show Grealish beaming, then realising he's on the screen and puts a pout on. Twat.
-
Fucks sake, just as we were starting to look ok
-
Another sloppy long range goal.
-
Crap from Martinez again
-
That is a dreadful goal to cocede. So soft.
-
Jammy goal.
When will deflections be outlawed ?
-
Not happy with Bailey's attempt at closing down for the shot
-
I think we will run out of energy soon and they will start to dominate😬
-
There it is.
-
We have a goal in us
-
Crap from Martinez again
Wtf?
-
Not on Martinez. Freaking Targett.
-
But then again, we could easily concede again.
-
And Bailey is fucked
-
Brilliant bailey down
Paper legs
-
That’ll be Bailey being subbed then
-
Game is way to open, they can score and did, we'll struggle to score, need to get at them more otherwise we're in for a battering.
-
Bailey’s weekly injury.
-
Young on.
-
Bailey...is he ever going to be fit? Fcuking hell, what a waste...
-
Ffs the 100m we spent in the summer is looking a fucking joke
-
BAILEY INJURED YET AGAIN
Fuck sake
-
Young is more likely to not do a shit pass in a good position though
-
Bailey’s weekly injury.
Judging him so far, he should never start a match. Only good for 20 minutes.
-
Crap from Martinez again
Sometimes he is amazing.
Sometimes not great at longer range shots.
-
Ffs the 100m we spent in the summer is looking a fucking joke
It's really beginning to look like a massive sum wasted.
-
Ffs the 100m we spent in the summer is looking a fucking joke
Its looking like a absolute shit show.
Buendia looks shit
Baileys always injured. Fuck sake
-
It's nominally on Hsgl now. It won't load, but it's there!
Just sent you a PM.
I wouldnt mind a PM
Just sent. Although mine has gone a bit shit since I PM'd SE!
-
Bailey, injured again. To be honest I've not been too impressed with him anyway, like Buendia doesn't make the sensible choice and would rather try some clever foot work instead of the simple pass.
-
So… how’s the beer?
-
Ffs the 100m we spent in the summer is looking a fucking joke

Ings is a quality striker.
Buendia will come good.
Bailey - well ………
-
Marv is playing well.
-
Actually not bad Nakamba is having a good game again so far.
-
What was the reaction towards Grealish like?
Missed the start of the match, and saw him looking quite jolly on the bench when those fuckers scored.
-
Marv is playing well.
Agreed.
-
Marv is playing well.
Agreed.
Agreed.
-
Marv is playing well.
Only positive. He'll definitely be Gerrards first choice holding mf.
Why are we passing the ball around in our own area so much ffs
-
I think Dougie will be a star this season.
-

Cheered in the warm up, more boos than cheers when the teams came out.
I'm so frustrated watching this.
Buendia has been poor it has to be said. I trust he will come good.
-
Marv is playing well.
Only positive. He'll definitely be Gerrards first choice holding mf.
Why are we passing the ball around in our own area so much ffs
It's the only bit of the pitch where we get to touch the ball, obvs.
-
Marv is playing well.
Only positive. He'll definitely be Gerrards first choice holding mf.
Why are we passing the ball around in our own area so much ffs
Because if we try to get forward quickly they just kick us.
-
I think Dougie will be a star this season.
I don't get the Luiz thing.
He just looks crushingly average at best most of the time. I wonder if the concept of Douglas Luiz outstrips the reality.
-
Marv is playing well.
Only positive. He'll definitely be Gerrards first choice holding mf.

Palace did that too.
-
Hope Buendia starts watching videos of De Bruyne in his spare time…
-

Ings is a quality striker.
Buendia will come good.
Bailey - well ………
Ings is good not sure he fits our style - no resale value - not great injury record
Bailey hasn’t been fit
Emi I like but no way was he worth what we paid - long way off being ready for this level
-
I can't properly judge alot of these players because they're just so unfit. Like really bad.
-
Cheered in the warm up...fucking hell. I've only just stopped wiping up the vomit that came out after reading the club tweet. I can't fucking stand him.
Buendia is so slow.
As for this passing around in our own box. Nothing good can come of this...surely?
-
Game over 2-0
Well done matty with your dog shit cross
-
bollocks
-
Fuck off you ******
-
Naive.
-
bastards.
-
Bugger. Good goal, though.
-
So… do I watch the 2nd half or accept the fate and go and do something productive?
-
Have to say albeit through gritted teeth, that was a great goal.
-
That’s some finish.
-
Absolutely sick of this.
-
Great finish tbf
-
Where was the defence then?
-
Ffs
-
What's the point even trying.
Football is just a joke.
-
This ridiculous. We're light years away from this lot and that's just the fitness, never mind the skill. Then we have our own fans clapping and praising the opposition before the game. Too nice.
-
This has been abysmal for 45 mins. Absolute shit.
-
Townsend needs to stop talking. Sounds like a Man City fan.
-
Emi flapping
-
Fuck me, that was some move.
-
The epitome of the team that ruined football.
Fuck it. Sick of the media wanking too.
-
Im.not bothering 2nd half
A really pathetic performance. City are good but jesus we have been so bad and pathetic. The crossing and play in the final 3rd has been dreaful. League one standard
Buendia has been utter shit. Fucking 40m for this pile of shit that cant pass or create fuck all.
-
Fucking bollocks.
-
That’s just superb football. As good a break away goal as you’ll ever see.
-
Our whole approach to this game has been woeful. From the sycophantic tweet about the traitor to this performance. We've just rolled over and had our bellys tickled
-
Unfortunately that was a brilliant goal.
-
Today has been an absolute shit show on and off the pitch and sums up every single thing I despise about the ruination of the game I loved.
-
I want answers regarding Bailey.
He has no issues putting in a shift for Jamaica and we can't even keep him fit for 30 minutes at a time.
-
just being outplayed by a superior team
-
Way, Way too much respect shown the whole game. Get a fucking tackle in FFS.
-
Stunning goal from the horrible fuckers.
-
Townsend needs to stop talking. Sounds like a Man City fan.
They both do. Getting pissed off with it.
-
Mings was so slow getting back then.
I'm turning this shite off and saving myself the heartache
-
Unfortunately that was a brilliant goal.
True.
-
Emi flapping
You are kidding? Unstoppable.
-
Should have brought Ramsey on instead of Old
-
Townsend needs to stop talking. Sounds like a Man City fan.
They both do. Getting pissed off with it.
Just telling it like it is unfortunately
-
Would have liked more of a plan to target Ake and Shivchenko
-
Tonight was always a free hit and it will be a good opportunity for Steven Gerrard to see where the problems lie.
-
Lange needs to be questioned. The players he has brought in have not been up to it on the whole.
-
Sometimes football is just so mind-numbingly boring and predictable. I would hate being a f**ing Man City fan.
-
The commentary on Prime is just awful, Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend are going to need some emergency tissues. The way they talk about Citeh is sickening.
-
Emi flapping
You are kidding? Unstoppable.
No, great move and goal. But saveable
-
Mings was so slow getting back then.
FFS
-
We’ve been schooled there, absolutely played off the park. Sadly we’ve been pretty meek and our passing has been school playground level.
-
Stunning goal from the horrible fuckers.
Cash with the absolutely hopeless cross that lead to that. Whk the hell was he aiming for?
-
Well I hope they get a bit of rocket. We’re too bloody nice and not at all ruthless. Bailey is not up to it so he holds his leg. Becoming a habit when the going gets tough.
-
As ever at times like these right now, I wonder why people get so up in arms (rightly) about Newcastle's new owners but largely laugh along with this, a vile, corrupt, despotic petrostate buying the league.
-
Mings was so slow getting back then.
FFS
What the fuck? He’s one player trying out there. Him, Cash and Nakamba seem up for it.
-
It's no wonder Grealish is no more than a bench warmer in this side.
-
Well I hope they get a bit of rocket. We’re too bloody nice and not at all ruthless. Bailey is not up to it so he holds his leg. Becoming a habit when the going gets tough.
That’s unfair - there’s no reason to suggest he’s not injured.
-
Today has been embarrassing - small time.
Fucking hate Man City we haven’t laid a glove on them.
Let’s see how SG handles this - not something he’ll have had to deal with before
My money is on Lange being gone at the end of the season - recruitment this summer was awful
-
Class goal from a class player, but what were we doing allowing Silva to break away like that.
-
They are light years ahead but if we could make a final pass we could’ve opened them up. Hands up for their 2nd, stunning.
-
Bailey is an enigma wrapped in a myth.
Buendia is just a horrible waste of money by the look of it.
-
So fucked off with that
Yes they are a great team but we have been so fucking negative and passive.
And as for playing within our own 6 yard box, what fucking genius came up with that plan.
Oh, and buendia is stilll fucking shit
And I’m fucking cold
-
We haven't been awful, I don't think, just severely outclassed. And that hurts more.
-
just being outplayed by a superior team
Yep. But we have our chances going forward to score. So you can see sometimes how Citeh lose.
The first goal was a bit jammy.
The second poor defending.
They had the rub of the green this half.
-
Today has been embarrassing - small time.
Fucking hate Man City we haven’t laid a glove on them.
Let’s see how SG handles this - not something he’ll have had to deal with before
My money is on Lange being gone at the end of the season - recruitment this summer was awful
Yes i have to agree on lange. Baileys got something about him but fucking hell what a weakling.
Buendia shit.
Ings not a bad player but hasnt settled
Only one id say has been a success is young
-
As a seasoned tactician I'd get Davis up with Watkins and try to play over the press.
-
Emi flapping
You are kidding? Unstoppable.
No, great move and goal. But saveable
Seriously? Saveable yes but only if it hits him which it could have done but didn't. I'll criticise Emi for some of the goals conceded this year but that was a worldy.
-
They are light years ahead but if we could make a final pass we could’ve opened them up. Hands up for their 2nd, stunning.
It's been a Dean Smith performance
-
Once, just once I would like us to lay a glove on these.
-
Way, Way too much respect shown the whole game. Get a fucking tackle in FFS.
Can't get close enough to them unfortunately.
Targett ducking out of the first, Mings going walkabout for second...but the quality gap between both teams is the same as last season.
We actually had a few decent breaks at times but Bailey in particular took the wrong options. Buendia trying hard but nothing coming off. Think there is a risk we could take a right hiding if we open up second half, especially with what they have to come on.
-
Mings was so slow getting back then.
FFS
What the fuck? He’s one player trying out there. Him, Cash and Nakamba seem up for it.
No need to get all defensive of him. I'm just stating he pushed up a bit to far and seemed slow to react to the initial ball. I watched it back and he didn't seem to react. Great goal but I call it how I see it.
P.S Bundia is shite
-
Been given a lesson here, they keep the ball so well and we just gift them it far too often, very poor by us. This is also not the game to fanny about in the box either.
-
Bailey seems to have a big issue with his thighs and judging by his reaction he knows it. See him in a few months I guess.
-
Bailey is an enigma wrapped in a myth.
Buendia is just a horrible waste of money by the look of it.
Agreed
-
I've got covid and I could do better than Buendia tonight. Final ball is what's letting us down. I think defensively we are OK but just tentative with the ball when we do actually get it back.
-
They are light years ahead but if we could make a final pass we could’ve opened them up. Hands up for their 2nd, stunning.
It's been a Dean Smith performance
Not sure about that. I remember Smith's Villa being very brave and going toe-to-toe against Man City, especially in our first season back. Let's not re-write history.
-
Buendia's decision-making is horrendous.
-
I remember talking to a Man City fan in Tenerife about twenty years back and him saying Villa was one of the first away games they always looked for when the new fixtures came out because they always win here and its never been anything but before or since - their record down here is just fucking disgraceful even when they were shite.
I just fucking well loathe the steaming pile of mancunian ratshit.
-
Mings was so slow getting back then.
FFS
What the fuck? He’s one player trying out there. Him, Cash and Nakamba seem up for it.
No need to get all defensive of him. I'm just stating he pushed up a bit to far and seemed slow to react to the initial ball. I watched it back and he didn't seem to react. Great goal but I call it how I see it.
P.S Bundia is shite
Bundia is creative but wasteful
-
The commentary on Prime is just awful, Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend are going to need some emergency tissues. The way they talk about Citeh is sickening.
I'm watching on Prime! No commentary selected. I can see what's happening, don't need any one to tell me what is happening.
-
That was as bad and weak a performance as Dean at his worse this season
We can’t pass a fucking ball, getting mixed up between ourselves
Players look unfit, big signings go missing
Don’t get me wrong Man City are a lot better than us - it’s the performance not the scoreline
On the positive if we turn this round I’ll move from the SG cease a mistake camp into the let’s give him a chance call 😂😂
-
Well I hope they get a bit of rocket. We’re too bloody nice and not at all ruthless. Bailey is not up to it so he holds his leg. Becoming a habit when the going gets tough.
That’s unfair - there’s no reason to suggest he’s not injured.
I hope you are right, but bloody hell something is not right with him. If it is in an injury we've taken a huge gamble buying someone with an injury like he has had all season.
-
Terrible half, haven’t got anywhere near them. Buendia and Bailey….what a colossal waste of money.
-
I thought we did ok which seems a bit of a strange thing to say being 2-0 down at home. Defence/GK pretty good and organised for the most part, one fuck up trying to play out of defence and lost Silva for the second but what a finish, not many would have punished us so effortlessly. The first was a bit of a jammy punt which went through and found the corner. Midfield worked hard, a few stray passes and against this standard of opposition that dominate centre mid we were all calling for in the summer would help a lot. Forwards were clever at times and linked up occasionally but looked as though they need a bit more time to click properly. Worked pretty hard though as well. Shame a slightly under strength Man City team played so well really, we’re still not ready to compete with teams like this when they’re on song
-
And what makes it worse is being lectured by some former girl guide league footballer on where we are going wrong!
-
As a seasoned tactician I'd get Davis up with Watkins and try to play over the press.
I'd have considered him coming on instead of Young with instruction to just put himself about and bully Ake.
-
Please stop passing out from the back, on the other hand does it matter
-
As ever at times like these right now, I wonder why people get so up in arms (rightly) about Newcastle's new owners but largely laugh along with this, a vile, corrupt, despotic petrostate buying the league.
Yup. And all the while throughout this game, the best player Villa have produced in decades is on the bench for them. It isn't a competition, it's all about forming a monopoly.
-
What is this Youngs Disease that seems to spread to everyone on a Villa bench?
-
I want answers regarding Bailey.
He has no issues putting in a shift for Jamaica and we can't even keep him fit for 30 minutes at a time.
His conditioning is nowhere near good enough to play in the EPL. Always going to be prone to injuries as a result. I'd be content to give him the odd cameo off the bench until he properly gets fit.
-
I’m just hoping the new manager is looking at this and thinking we need to spend a lot on ball possession midfielders.
-
Well it can’t be much worse than that. So hopefully a better account of ourselves in the second half.
-
This is fucking demoralising. When are we going to be good enough to get anywhere near these ******?
-
Midfield is killing us, they’re doing nothing.
-
Well it can’t be much worse than that. So hopefully a better account of ourselves in the second half.
3rd goal for man c within 5 mins of the restart, nailed on. Joe to score.
-
I thought they were supposed to have a player emergency? Good god.
We look very poor. What on earth are Bailey and Buendia meant to offer? Not impressed with those pair at all. On Twitter all you see is Bailey is a 'baller' or king emojis posted. Sigh...Needs to do alot more than those aimless flicks. Buendia reminds me of that Spanish bloke we had under Lambert. Annoyingly, I can't remember his name but he was small and weak and looked as if running was the last thing he ever wanted to do. Ever.
Luiz is another that never really does anything. I hear alot about how he's supposed to be a great player, yet all I see is sloppy, a red card waiting to happen, no goals. I don't think we ever need to worry about Man city coming in for him.
Crap
As for that official club tweet! Fuck off

Definitely injured he was almost sobbing as he walked off. Obviously a long standing issue now with that thigh (I’m sure this was his issue when he was last injured?)….be gone a while I expect
-

Hear hear.
-
How do you turn the commentary off for this? I could do without more spew in my ears
-
The crazy thing is, with all their brilliant football, if we had made the correct choices on a couple of occasions we could have had chances.
-
This is fucking demoralising. When are we going to be good enough to get anywhere near these ******?
Not many teams are! They're owned by a petrostate, not private individuals.
-
I have Steven Warnock as my co comm. He was giving pelters to Targett for not taking the shot for the first goal in the face. Bravery wasn't exactly a virtue Warnock displayed too often in a villa shirt.

Wins out the question so I'm going for a late equalizer.
Full throttle 2nd half, so we pull one back, they go 3-1 up we pull another back with the equalizer in injury time 3-3 coming up.
Come on Villa sort yourselves out.
-

If that's the case, my apologies. So frustrating though.

Gerrard should show a video of the beautiful tackle Nakamba made on Augero in the Caraboa Cup 2020 as an example of what we’re after this half.
-
That's him! Cheers Nelly!

My pleasure mate. I can see the comparison!
-
It’s Man City. A very rich club light years ahead of us.
I’m not too bothered.
-
I'm really only watching this still to see how Gerrard reacts to this and see what they can possibly conjure up. I'm not surprised by much here.
-
I have Steven Warnock as my co comm. He was giving pelters to Targett for not taking the shot for the first goal in the face. Bravery wasn't exactly a virtue Warnock displayed too often in a villa shirt.
What next? Lescott calling out players for tweeting crap?
-
Well… the wife’s just gone upstairs. So I’m going to force myself to watch the 2nd half. For better or for worse.
Gallows humour?
-
I reckon we can score.
I just think they'll get at least 2 more as well.
-

Exactly. It's just despicable.

-
Fucking hell we’ll just make them angry.
-

-
Our future king liked the goal!
-
Just make them angry. Fuck em. Let’s take it to them.
-
I like Ollie. Still scores when feeding on scraps.
-
Have that you sniggering little shit
-
Oh shut up Tyldesley you sycophantic twat...
-
The commentary on Prime is just awful, Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend are going to need some emergency tissues. The way they talk about Citeh is sickening.
I'm watching on Prime! No commentary selected. I can see what's happening, don't need any one to tell me what is happening.
I've just found the stadium fx option, pure bliss. Thanks.
-
Someone suggested you can turn the comms off on Prime - such a great shout! Infinitely more watchable! Thank you!
-
I’d say Ramsey or Chuck for emi2
It’s just not working for him tonight
-
I’d say Ramsey or Chuck for emi2

Sorry for Young
-
Yep, me too. Tyldesley is an annoying twat.
-
I’ve switched off the commentary now and am enjoy img my beer in peace!
-

Yes now
I'd get Ramsey on Buendia doing nothing.
-
Yep, me too. Tyldesley is an annoying twat.
full stop
-
I’ve switched off the commentary now and am enjoy img my beer in peace!
What you drinking?
-
Yep, me too. Tyldesley is an annoying twat.
He's always been one.
-
So close with some of our last passes
-
Tonight… an Icelandic Pale Ale called Skuli. Bought last week whilst up there. Not overly strong or hoppy. 4.3%
-
So close with some of our last passes
Do my eyes deceive me or is that Young almost running through twice?
-

Sounds nice.
Are you doing the clap thing?
-
There’s tablets for that clap thing! I hear they come in plain packaging nowadays too.
It’s lovely. Fruity, not too heavy. Good beer. Recommended!
-
Surely get Buendia off asap...lost tonight
I'd move McGinn into his position, he has been anonymous too
-
Have we improved since the break?
-
Buendia injured. Oh no.
-
Looked like a pen to me. Typical Dean,
-
How was that not even worthy of a look from the ref?
-
Have we improved since the break?
Nope
-
Have we improved since the break?
Nope
Hell yeah
-
Have we improved since the break?
Nope
Eh? We scored and should have had a pen!
-
So when Cash catches Kane after the ball is going out its a pen - but not tonight apparently
-
McGinn time coming up
-
So I go out in the car again after watching the first half on Amazon and we score. I think a pattern is emerging here...
-
Luiz up for it tonight
-
That was a sensational cross from McGinn before the penalty shout.
-
How was that not even worthy of a look from the ref?
Referee is Mike Dean and VAR is Kevin Friend.....
-
So I go out in the car again after watching the first half on Amazon and we score. I think a pattern is emerging here...
Can you please stay out?
-
Hope Matty’s ok.
Some really good performances this half. Ollie has been outstanding as has Cash.
-
So I go out in the car again after watching the first half on Amazon and we score. I think a pattern is emerging here...
It was that bad was it? Besides think the catalytic converter stops that from working
-

Friend wouldn’t have given us nothing in the Barcelona game in 1983.
-
Watkins has been brilliant. Ings won't be getting back in the starting lineup for a while, on this evidence.
-
Chuk !!!!
-
Chuck!!!
-
Think he's done there, looks like concussion to me.
Fair play for giving chuk the nod though.
-
Can someone please tell me how to turn commentary off before I smash my soundbar please...
Ooh hasn't Nakamba got a funny first name... Fuck OFF!...
-
Hope Matt is ok. Big chance for Chuk.
-
Targett looks concussed. That look of confusion. Good call to bring Chuk on! If he scores tonight, I’ll be running up the street naked until I get arrested
-
Those great minds Glenn Murray and Clinton Morrison both showing their disgust at the booing of Joe on Sky
-
press up, click the audio icon, press the button where it says English, go up or down to find stadium fx. Back out and done.
-
Sterling just took out Konsa after the ball was gone - Dean gave nothing
-
Traoreesque no look pass across the defence from Young there

Yes!!
-
Here comes a long one
-
Did we move luiz up?
-
Omg chuk so close !!!
-
Brilliant from Emi B - Chuk you have to score.
-
So close from Chuky!
-
A bit of height and that was in.
-
Oh what a chance!
-
So close and deserved if we had scored. Come on Villa we can do this...
-
Come on Villa! Strong last 15 coming up!
-
Here’s another long one!
-
Omg chuk so close !!!
60 secs ahead. Staying away from this thread
-
Marv has been brilliant
-
Sanson!
-
Marv was great. Fantastic to see attacking subs coming on now.
-
Sanson on, my boy loves him but I think that is more to do with the way his name is said on Fifa than anything else.
-
Sanson on, great to see him back.
-
What was wrong with that throw? FFS
-
At last Sanson
-
press up, click the audio icon, press the button where it says English, go up or down to find stadium fx. Back out and done.
Thank you so much...
-
What was wrong with that throw? FFS
Clearly you are obliged to move out of the way so the Champions goalkeeper can catch the ball cleanly
-
Cash crossing has been a absolute car crash tonight
-
Chuks looking good
-
This is much, much better. Citeh don't like it when you play against them do they.
-
I really want Chuk to sign a new contract here
-
The commentary really is sickening
-
City looking played out, still dangerous, if Villa can just up their energy levels get more men in the box when we attack we can get this
-
The rats coming on
-
Looks like rat boy is coming on.
-
This has been easily Buendia's best game.
-
Luiz is massively improved, getting into everything
-
When will he get a card out for this niggly bullshit?
-
Boooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Here he comes.
It's getting quite feisty out there. A rat could find a bit of trouble, kapisch?
-
The commentary really is sickening
Seriously, Audio settings...
-
Boooooooooooooooo
-
Come on Cash, you know what to do
-
Wanker.
-
Nakamba put one on the greasy wanker.
-
Much better this half, whatever the result.
-
Go on then… let’s see a proper reducer
-
Feck off, Ratboy!!
-
Didn't expect to be excited in the 87 min
-
Yah, what was that, Jack?...
-
Joe on... defensive move from Pep
-
Nakamba put one on the greasy wanker.
He might have to do it from the bench Jon
-
Come what may, we’ve taken it to them, had a good few chances and Have had a good second half.
There’ll be many easier nights than this
-
Villa til I die!
-
Nakamba put one on the greasy wanker.
He might have to do it from the bench Jon
True!
-
I’m laughing at the thought of Nakamba running off the bench, into Joe and sending him flying
-

Even better, we'll still have 11

Drink has been taken.

I’m proud of us on this second half. A lot of positives in it.

-
Much better in the 2nd half, what might have been if we'd played like this from the off.
Guardiola really is a c*ck.
-
good 2nd half
Ashley Young rolling back the years
Encouraging from the manager with attackign substitutions
-
Thought it was a decent performance overall considering the quality of the opposition. Needed a good stop by their keeper to deny us an equaliser. Heads could have dropped after their second goal but they didn’t.
-
I’m proud of us on this second half. A lot of positives in it.
Agree Chris. Great fight and spirit by the team. A lot to like.
Yes I would say this second half is the best we have played this season. Just need a couple of players to find there feet a bit more going forward - whether that’s Sanson, Bailey, Emi2, Chuck. Need someone to step up and provide that but if creativity
-
Nakamba was good again and all 3 subs did well.
-
Shows that you need to be at these teams. We showed MC too much respect and gave them too much space in the first half. Second half we got among them much more.
