Aston Villa v Manchester City Post-Match Thread

[Morten]

Delph out for the next 2 games Great !

When the commentators said that he would be banned for the games against Reading and QPR if got booked, I just knew he would get booked in the end. He got booked after 93 and a half minutes out of 94... Surely he must have known and yet... I am frustrated about this as he is actually playing good at the momemt.

Would you start Bent against Reading assuming he's back?

Ian Danter said he's going to be out for weeks

[Malandro]

not as many clown moments as usual. One cost us the match however and another has led to a suspension.

I'm not going to get too upset about Delph, he's just one of the nicer turds

Mancini is just on saying Aston Villa is a good team.  Nice of you to lie on our behalf.

[PaulWinch again]

We were playing a team that has lost only three this season. We took the game to them for periods of the match and did not deserve to lose.

At he end of it all Man City won with a debatable goal, and we should have had a penalty of our own.

Doesn't matter now though, we've given up too many points against much worse sides that we need points in games like this.

Yes but with knob head in charge he'll put Bowery in.

[Chris Jameson]

Clark needs to sit. Whatever that means.

[PaulWinch again]

Baker and Clark are both idiotic as well which doesn't help.

[Kent Villian]

Confused by the subs - we need a goal so our leader takes off a forward & brings on a untried midfielder, can someone explain that one??

[TonyD]

Delph played well but what did he actually do in terms of creating assists?  Not much.  Overated.

[barrysleftfoot]

  Physically and mentally too weak.

 There was an incident in the 2nd half when Dzeko just shrugged off both Lowton and Clark far too easily, summed us up.

 I was laughing when Westwood confronted Toure.....whats he going to do to stop him.Why have'nt we seen Silla?, as far as i'm concerned the only hope for us to stop up.If he is physically strong enough and ok as a footballer then he should be playing.

 I feel sorry for Benteke, looked the only player we have up to their standard.We're going down, and the board and the manager are both to blame.Lowton, Clark, Westwood, Hawkins, Gabby, are nowhere near enough Prem quality.

he just said it again and said it was strange we were in the bottom. I think he's embarrassed about scoring 1 goal against us

the guy hasn't a scooby?

[The Left Side]

I couldn't see us creating much and I was proved right, meh!

Delph was brilliant, but picked up a pointless booking, ruling him out of the two biggest games we will have for years. Guzan fantastic also. As a unit, I felt the defense were decent overall. This was against the current Champions remember, with limitless funding.

A point was the best most of us thought we could get, and we were possibly a few decisions going our way away from getting one.

I'm adamant Clark was fouled. He shouldn't have been arsing about in that situation granted, but he was fouled and we should have had a free kick. Nastasic deliberately handled in the area, and we could have had a penalty.

Gutted not to get something
