Aston Villa v Man City Match Thread

[Risso]

Utter shit, as it has been for months. Smith is clueless.

Cash hadn't got sent off think we would have got a draw.

Very poor form without Grealish, as always. Smith has no clue what to do without him.

It's sadly not just the quality that's missing our workrate is way behind City's.  Davis quiting on that ball then another example and everything Ross Barkley has done since he came on

I disagree, I think we've worked rally hard, the problem is that when you defend for long periods it's a lot more tiring (mentally as much as physically) and it's taken it out of us. In the first half of the season we worked as hard as anyone. We need more of the ball, the passing is comfortably the biggest weakness for us in the last few months.

Well I must be watching a different game. We've worked really hard?

You must be, we've been chasing shadows for about 80 minutes and look like it had got to us. That's no excuse for Barkley though who barely broke a sweat.

I only saw last 15 mins. Considering we were trailing we barely got forward. Depressing end to the season. We bloody need to beat Sandwell.

They were head and shoulders better than us. Scary how wide the gulf in class is between the top 4 and the rest of the premiership.   Losing 1-2 to that team is almost a positive.
