Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

[Nastylee]

TBH, given it's added time of the 1st half and going in level would have been massive why didn't silly twat just put it down the line? Why do that as the last man?

[TonyD]

Not clever from Clark but he was fouled.   

The second half is going to be interesting.

[Matt Collins]

How many points do we have after going a goal down this season? Less than 3-5 tops I reckon. Tempted to switch off.

[aj2k77]

Clarkes' a fucking donkey, nevermind not being captain material he's not even squad material. How many teams haven't turned up against us in the last 6 weeks and still taken the points because our shit defence is packed full of errors.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Risky decision by Clark to play with the ball there, yes. But he was fouled. Dzeko took his legs as Clark did the drag back. Bollocks decision by the ref

Honestly? I'm at the game so haven't seen replays.

[Fergal]

Why didn't Lambert buy a defender in January?  Why?  Why? WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

Ha! Only you could blame that on the manager.

It's either Randy or Lambert.  Either way if we go down that's the reason why, sheer incompetence by the people running the club.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh for a defence, it's all we need. Now back to the game, we need to go back to hassling them and having a go.

[mattjpa]

Where the fuck is paper mâché Ron? We're going down the pan whilst him n Richard fucking dunne bleed out coffers dry.

[eastie]

Heartbreaking - worked hard and given city a game only for such inexcusable defending - and lambert reckons clark will be a top defender?
Delph has impressed , nzogbia needs to up his game but that was utterly inexcusable from clark - just not acceptable at this level - schoolboy defending!

[Fergal]

Randy should have invested in a proper defence in January. Criminal.

No shit Dr Sherlock

[rob_bridge]

Clark will be good enough next reason if we get relegated. If he is a Premiership player then so am I. Absolute shockingly error prone.

I'll give his fucking Cruyff turn.

That's the good half out of the way. Ho hum

[supertom]

Ha! Only you could blame that on the manager.

I'm with Risso on this one mate. There's no way Clark should be anywhere near our starting 11. For that to have happened, Lambert needed to buy A- A defender in Jan and B- A new pair of glasses at any point this season to notice how godawful he's been.
Our defence isn't good enough almost to a man. But Clark's persistent howlers take the biscuit. He's a liability who should have been replaced ASAP in Jan.

Yes, why is it the managers fault we have no cover for the powder puff named Ron that he bought.

[Andy Poole]

Well I'm keeping the faith. Still fancy us for a point. Just in case i've had a fiver at 13/2 for the draw and a fiver at 22/1 for the win.

[PaulWinch again]

He is fouled, but he shouldn't have been doing that.
