Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

Clark was fouled, we are fucked

[rob_bridge]

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

I think it is 2 - Albion and Swansea away.

[timeoutbigbar]

Foul or not, Clark needs shooting for that.  Wanker.

[eastie]

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

Lambert buys the players - not randy! He chose sylla and dawkins rather than a defender!

[David_Nab]

Not a foul for me he fucked up ..he dragged the ball back and slipped over.

[Summers]

That's a foul. Still, Clark shouldn't have been putting the ball in that danger.. however, his legs are swept.

[PaulWinch again]

We're going to get fucking hammered now.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

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

Ha! Only you could blame that on the manager.

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

So it's PL's fault Clark did what he did? You're mental!

No shit Dr Sherlock

If you are over again we need to go for a few pints. Christ this is awful!

[Risso]

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

Ha! Only you could blame that on the manager.

Yes, only me....of course.

It wasn't a foul on Clark, he turned and was slipping regardless of Dzeko.

People blaming bad luck are deluded. WE are the sole reason for our own demise. All the luck in the world wouldn't help us.

We are our own worst enemy.

[eric woolban woolban]

Foul or not Clark should never have messed around.

[PaulWinch again]

It is a foul, but he never ever should have been trying that.

Apparently it's two. Oh joy. I'm really starting to think we are going down.

Funnily enough, I spent a good bit of the first half thinking 'this team will be quite good in the championship'. Delph looks good. Westwood not as good as when he started. Benteke and CNZ struggling to impose themselves. Bennett has been a good outlet. Clark and Baker were doing reasonably well until  . . .  We've struggled with Silva and Tevez's interplay once their sub came on

[supertom]

And for what we did spend on Sylla and Dawkins, as well as earned from Warnock and Hutton, no one could seriously tell me we couldn't scrape enough pennies together to buy a defender better than Clark and Baker. There's plenty of defenders who can head a ball and throw in a tackle, with enough concentration not to cock up 2-3 times a match. We could get better in League 1-2. I don't care if Clark's "okay" on the ball for a centre half. He's a nightmare.
I can't blame Randy on this one. There was enough money there to sign players. Good players? Maybe not. But I'd take an average defender over the mediocrity we currently have.
