Aston Villa v Manchester City Match Thread

[Rigadon]

Hmm.  Game over.

[Tuscans]

Love the way they all leave Toure and pick up thin air.

I can understand playing defensively in this fixture. Yes, it's at home, but they're an excellent side, so from that point of view, it is understandable.

I would have thought, though, that when playing a side full of top quality players, it is of some importance to minimise the frequency with which you give them the ball.

We don't seem to be doing that. Too often we panic in possession and play what are, at best, 50-50 balls, and invariable give possession straight back to them.

Our only outlet seems to be the ball up to Kozak.

This is just like we play against Manure - we expect to hold on for 90 minutes and never actually do.  We will get dicked now.

[SamTheMouse]

Never mind eh. They're a good bunch of lads, after all.

Villa concede just before half time shocker

[Axl Rose]

crap Villa, fucking crap.

[supertom]

Been coming. Toure has been a class act to be fair. God I wish we had a midfielder even half as good as him.

[PaulWinch again]

There we go, well we've got what we deserved. Fucking atrocious. Need to actually put out a team to try and score in the second half.

This is exactly like how McLeish played.

Disgraceful.

[Tuscans]

Lambert has made a huge custard in not buying that special midfielder and buying bloody Libor

[JUAN PABLO]

well It was only one

I think we dragged them to our level for a bit

we just keep giving the ball away

What a dreadful, dreadful performance. As bad as any of our worst showings over the last few years, and worryingly McLeish-esque.

There. I said it.
