Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

I think we have some potentially very good players, Lowton, Westwood and Benteke come to mind. However we really need some results quickly, we don't want to get cast adrift with the likes of QPR.

Nice to read a few posters keeping their chins up. Hopefully the players can too.

It sounds mad after 0-5 but I still think we're decent.

Agree completely and think that some people at the moment are like pigs in mud in misery.

Yes.
I'm really enjoying being on a downer about the club i've supported for 38 years, it fair makes my day.

Yep, I love seeing the team under the dreaded dotted line and getting battered, it's better than winning the lottery.  Let's all just witter on about "ups and downs" and "Lambert moving us in the right direction" while all the time we sleep walk towards relegation.

At times i hate football.

What I cant get my head around is why anyone expected anything else when you have a owner who will sell anyone he can get a profit on and replace them with cheap, sub-standard dross from the lower leagues. And make no mistake, any gems we do pick up (Benteke for instance) will go the same way.

The problems at our club will not be solved until that moron of an owner is gone and I dont see that happening anytime soon.

He's the problem but the biggest problen is he doesn 't know it.

Stuck in traffic on a 'shameless' type estate opposite the ground - £40 for me, £34 for my dad and £24 for my son to get battered by the ref .

Fuck off modern football

  Gabby was our worst player yet seems immune to criticism.

  I don't remember Guzan making any significant save before their 1st, could argue foot up, but the game really changed on 2 awful decisions.The 1st was a push on Weimann anyway, and no Citeh player appealed for it, the 2nd, what/how could he have stopped that happening?

  Would the 4th and 5th have happened if it wasn't for the previous 3?

 On the positives for me for 60/70 minutes the defence was relatively good, the midfield tried to keep the ball, and play football.We looked a good team in the 1st half , played nice football, and until their goal looked as if we could hold on for a point.But they are a good team, and at the moment we don't judge ourselves against these teams.

  Onwards and upwards.

Next 4 games are massive. Losing back to back games against the Manchester clubs won't determine where we finish. But these next 4 probably will, especially the last three.

H) Arsenal
H) Reading
A) QPR
H) Stoke

We'll get some points from them.

I'm not sure we looked a good side in first half. We barely kicked the ball and when we did we hoofed it away.

The worrying thing (apart from us eing shit) is that as well as being bottom three, Reading have a game in hand on us, and Sunderland have two games in hand. They both have a much bettr goal difference as well.
