Aston Villa v Manchester City Post-Match Thread

[Steve R]

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.

And we made a pretty good stab at getting something. Not successfully, but deserving better than some of the comments I've seem here.

Our whole season is meh...

We just didn't look like scoring. The lack of confidence is really apparent. One shot on goal was it?

!0 shots. 5 on target. According to the Beeb.

Better than i thought. I thought we'd get thrashed

I gave up my season ticket for the night and avoided the game on TV. I'm pleasantly surprised to check now and see it was only 0-1. All in all a very sorry state of affairs.

Handing out praise after defeats is not going to do us any good now.

I fully endorse this post.

fuck off Clark, completely runied it. I'm positive we could of got a good draw tonight which would had lift us out the bottom 3 and would have given us confidence going into the weekend. Tonight I was more optimistic than others about getting a point. its not.about the next two games mattering the most (OK maybe it is now) because if things don't go how we want a bonus point tonight we've dropped to make up the difference in points that might be dropped in next two games is vital.

We looked ok tonight considering the opposition we were playing and it makes me feel at despair that we lost to such a cheap goal you can't even imagine.

If the performances are there then will the results come we need ffs.

We absolutely need to get a minimum of 4 points from next two games otherwise I feel it really could be it and cant bare to think about that. I keep telling myself we just need to better the results of wigan, reading and qpr but don't feel we're capable.

5 wins in 38 league games according to the radio and we need 4 probably to stay up.....

[ROBBO]

Delphs final pass always lets him down. Did anyone really expect a result for us out of this game? don't get upset anymore i'm over it, when we didn't buy a decent centre back and a good midfielder in January the writing was on the wall.Greta club, shit owner, shit C.E.O, and a manager that can't teach players how to defend.

Nor is wailing about how shit everything is. In real terms, one is about as useful as the other.

 0 shots on target.Grasping at straws here, but was'nt Bentekes header cleared off the line?

 Also penalty?....seen them given.

[Greg N'Ash]

letting a goal in just before half-time to faffing around is just unforgivable. Screams "going down" to me. Its what relegated-bound teams do. Fucking row z.

[pauliewalnuts]

Got what we expected, nothing.

In these games where you expect, and get, nothing, you at least want to see something that gives you hope for the matches where you have a hope of getting points.

You could argue tonight we did this, we did that yada yada but really, I saw absolutely nothing that suggests we are improving.

We are done for. The number of games left to show some sign of improvement is dwindling, and the turnaround just doesn't cone.

The club was relegated in January 31st, and we fully deserve it, we brought it on ourselves. The squad is pathetically weak, nowhere near good enough, and we did nothing to improve it.

Lerner and the clueless twelve year old he has left running the shop now he can't be fucked any more have sat by and watched the club go to shit and they're too stupid to realise it us happening.
