Aston Villa v Manchester City Post-Match Thread

Why were Albrighton and Gardner picked over Ireland and N'Zogbia?
McLeish is his own worst enemy at times. It was truly awful to watch today. No excuses.

Don't you mean Heskey and Albrighton as Gardner was playing instead of the injured Clark.

Wait for it, in 2 weeks time its gonna be.."We can't compete with the Wigan's of this world".
Embarrassing lack of ambition today. I'm sure it's not the last time I'll say that this season.

Embarrassing lack of ambition today? Did you miss who the opposition was? Man U attacked these a few months back and got smashed 6-1.

Everton and Sunderland beat them!

His Interview on BBC website is just as laughable!

Also to the interviewer, we dont like him because of his lack of ambition, talent or sanity. Not because he used to manage the scum!

At least I sort of met DC5 and villajk when they visited Legion. Well I saw them and after they had gone Legion told me who they were.

Ahaha, so that was you.  Nice to sort of meet you!

Same to both of you. I was the one in the silly hat and brown furry coat in an attempt to stay warm. I can't remember if Legion had both his bodyguards there when you visited or if the part-timer Mr RedSox had already left.

Think people need to remember a few things before calling for the managers head after todays performance.

Firstly look at who we we're playing. Do you really think if went out attacked them we would of recieved anything other then a 4-0 roasting?

We actually nulified there attack very well, if it wasnt for another piece of poor defending from a set piece (no McLeish's fault) we would of earnt a decent point. Yes it may be 'boring' but when you have Aguero, Silva, Milner & Johnson running at you i would be inclined to play it safe!

Everton and Sunderland who both got a win against City played the same as we did today they managed to nick a goal and went onto win.

If we sit back like this against Wigan/Blackburn/Fulham/Bolton then i will have to agree with you however i will not moan if we do it against a team who's net spend is over £500 million on 5 years.

Its s good job you ain't a fucking football manager then.

Are you Alex Mcleish ?

A 'newbie". AVFC PR? Listen, read and don't comment. One thing this Club does not need right now is Bullshit.

Oh. that's okay then. We did the right thing then by passing the ball sideways and backwards until we lost it. Thankfully we only lost 1-0. How I must have misjudged that master tactician AMcL.

0-1 and 0-5 are the same result for us at the moment.

We didn't even try to score.

Marc Albrighton tweeting how we didn't deserve to lose.

Crikey.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

What was the point? Playing for a draw was never going to work. In recent games we've seen we're more than capable of passing the ball and creating chances, why couldn't we just do this and have a go?

AM would've come out with more credit if we'd have lost by 2 or 3 goals if we'd shown some ambition, but as it is, my judgment on him has gone down, after he'd began showing me he did seem to know what he was doing.

He could've saved me the bother of turning up to watch us hoof the ball to Heskey. Is that really what it's come to? Is that how Everton beat them?

Anybody got the interview?

[Villanation]

The thing is, The he used to manage the Blues old stick had some mileage in it for a while, problem now of course we are seeing what 20+ games means in its own right, nothing to do with his CV, and it will be no different at the end of the season.
