Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

Lumping the ball forward aimlessly , surely Randy Lerner can see how inept and clueless AM is as a manager

He won't be watching.

He's probably watching an old episode of ER on cable or something.

[Mister E]

Cuellar should have hit the target!!!

[Apyadg]

Got to feel for Bent, has he been given the ball in their third at all today?

Possibly the most badly timed career move ever.

[Toronto Villa]

How on earth did he not score?

[Drummond]

I really feel for those that paid their hard-earned..

[Irish villain]

Lovely delivery from N'Zogbia, why did he start on the bench?

[Matt Collins]

Had to score. Would have been outrageously unmerited mind!

[achilles]

Totally free header... should have scored there!

[Chipsticks]

76 minutes too late - Albrighton is just not up to this level of football - he had a good first half of last season and was then found out and has shown nothing this season

Bit harsh

Not really, he's not that quick, doesn't possess a "trick" and doesn't deliver well enough from set-pieces - in fact not as good as Peter Whittingham was when he was here

Albrighton is twice the player that Whittingham was.

we are going down,that usless fuckin clown of a manager aint going anywhere!!

[Apyadg]

Lovely delivery from N'Zogbia, why did he start on the bench?

Well he's not looking very lacking in fitness, so I suspect because of Twatter.

[Mister E]

As someone earlier said, no fire, no energy, no passion ... lack of desire!

[PaulWinch again]

Great save from Hart.

[Irish villain]

see when you attack McLeish stuff happens you idiot.

[AVFCRob]

Mark Albrighton? An honest tryer but too lightweight. Doesn't deserve to be slated because you can tell he cares and wants to do his best but unfortunately his best isn't good enough often enough for this league. Squad player at best.
