Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[hilts_coolerking]

We're not two or three players away from being a good side.

We're two or three players away from being a Championship side.

Worrying times but a change is gonna come.  It has to.

Proud of them for holding out until the 63rd minute. And Grealish is a liability - City scored twice after he came on and that was entirely his fault... :

[l_mckay]

Disappointing score in the end,was never going to hold out the whole game but didn't have many options without our best strikers.

[cdbearsfan]

We defended ok for most of the first hour, heads dropped when we went behind and we tired towards the end.

The team and squad is desperately short of quality and steel in every outfield position.

[Eckybloke]

Crock of baws.

One game to go thank fook

Meh

Can't be too distressed tonight

But we're heading for real trouble next year unless we do get some premier league players in. Right throughout the team

I used to think that, too.

However, now I think the only thing that can save us is a purge of all the clueless idiots weighing this club down.

Lerner, Faulkner, Lambert, Doogan, the lot of them, I wouldn't give them the steam off my piss.

Whilst they're in place instead of sensible, capable people, nothing will change.

To approach a premier league game, when 'the shackles are off' is nothing short of fucking disgraceful.

Will West Ham go there on Sunday and park a fleet of buses, or will they have a go?

[CJ]

The problem isn't that we were so comprehensively outclassed in this game. It is some of the other teams that comprehensively outclassed us, too.

We're just there to make up the numbers.

I appreciate they have the most expensive squad in this or any other universe, but our squad is just utterly pathetic.

We're a dreadful, mismanaged mess, and unless something amazing happens this summer, we're on a downward trajectory.

Spot on Paulie. Losing to Citeh is one thing - but Stoke, Palace and Fulham doing the double over us is something else completely

[Matt Collins]

At least Robinson looked quite good

As I said on the pre-match thread I was looking forward to tonight, but that turned around pretty quickly when I remembered just how desperate the club's situation is short of a miracle.

That was pointless, in more ways than one.

[Grande Pablo]

It was 0-0 when I tuned in.  I think it's my fault.  Poor.

[JUAN PABLO]

he just parked the Villa bus and put the Rotunda in front of the goal  , why he didnt just have a go like Sunderland did , nothing to lose.

Cant wait until hes gone , I will be so relieved

[Goldie.7]

Most of us predicted a heavy loss. Bacuna, Lowton & Bertrand were already on the beach.

I honestly think this game sums up why Lambert needs to go, in a game with nothing to lose he picks a team full of defenders....smh
