Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

[Rigadon]

More men against boys defending.

[Fergal]

Our players seem to lack physical fitness.

Slower, smaller and weaker than most of the other Premier League teams. Have we played a single good 90 minutes this season?

Not sure, Liverpool?

Cracking result, but we were absolutely terrible for the first twenty minutes or so, could easily have been a couple of goals down before we scored.

Can you rephrase the question to ask for 65 mins?

This defending! I just.......what on Earth are they doing?!

[Nev]

Radio 5 commentary team laying into Lambert now, albiet with Savage but, it pains me to say it, he is right. Why no experience added in January?

[PaulWinch again]

Our defence is just horrible, and it is the reason we're where we are.

[aj2k77]

PANIC STATIONS. Can you coach someone to not play like a headless chicken who panics everytime the ball comes into the danger zone?

I think they're just not good enough.

What is this system he is playing? There were four stood upfront when they attacked. Sorry Lambert your complete lack of any tactical knowledge is taking us down. 424 against the champions?

Considering he is mates with Macini I think he has been objective so far

Ha! I suppose it is a bit harsh to grumble about a 3-1 win at Anfield!

Which was the last match we didn't score in?

[PaulWinch again]

We are ragged here, a complete mess. No experience and no spine for fucks sake.

[Irish villain]

Whatever happens tonight it won't relegate us.

Reading, QPR, Norwich, Fulham,  Liverpool, Stoke, Sunderland and Wigan.

They are the games we need to be getting a minimum of 13-14 points from to be in with a chance of staying up.

Will still be possible after tonight whatever happens.

[citizenDJ]

"Looking a bit ragged" says Alan Smith.

"Looking absolutely shite" says I.

[eastie]

Looking ominous 2nd half - nzogbia poor tonight , can only see adding another at the moment - we are lacking a spark.

[aj2k77]

Which was the last match we didn't score in?

Southampton January 12th

Last time we didn't concede? Stoke December 8th, 3 months ago.
