Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We go again. Fortunately it will be for the ultimate time. I really don't think I can take another game, nevermind another season of this.

[Villafirst]

What was the point of such negative tactics? Just f**k off Lambert!

[olaftab]

Yes it was expected but I wish we had balls to stop them tonight. It's embarrassing that City fans and rest of the country expected us to get thrashed and we obliged.

The only positive thing is that, after Saturday, it is over for another year.

And a year will pass and we'll be in exactly the same position again whilst this unambitious bunch of brainless idiots are in charge.

Sorry to deliver the bad news...... Its Sunday

[JUAN PABLO]

if Randy and lmbert are still here next season

we are goners

[PeterWithesShin]

Defended okay for an hour, City clicked and we were done for. As are most teams they play. Knew I shouldn't have gone to the Strath.

[Villa in Denmark]

Is Lambert related to Bill Murray?

Because this is like Groundhog Day.

Without the distraction of trying to get into Andie McDowell's knickers.

Men against boys. Like watching a third division team playing a top flight club in the cup, and hanging on for grim death.

Not going to lose any sleep over only managing 3 points off the champions this season. I suggest some of you do the same.

Difficult at the best of times but with our attacking options severely tested it was always going to be a hang in and hope performance against a team that has scored 100 goals this season.

I'd agree with you if it was a one off but it isn't. We play like that practically every week. Surely you can see that?

[supertom]

You could not fault the effort, but our abject mediocrity was an full show for all to see.

Bertrand's regression from a decent footballer into a clown since joining will surely be noted by any players thinking of joining this circus.

It's a hard game to judge really. I mean we're in the same division but they just look leagues apart in terms of quality. That is sadly where we've come to now though. Player for player they were infinitely superior in almost every department, bar Guzan and Vlaar who are on par with Hart and Demiclownis.

We used up all our good fortune at Villa park against them. There was no way on Earth we could have done that again. 25% possession, hardly any chances but still win. We can't pull off that trick twice against the Champions.

I wish it was over for a year, it's only over for 2 months in reality and unless something drastic happens welcome back in August for more shit served up by these clowns.

Man City player, "We knew before the game that Aston Villa would probably play with ten behind the ball".

Summed up perfectly Lambert's tactics.

[JUAN PABLO]

it was like Villa playing someone like Bradford


oh no - Ive got that wrong

[caster troy]

Just one more (thankfully meaningless) game with Lambert in charge. Believe.

[cdbearsfan]

We are a nothing club. Loads of talk about Pardew and Allardyce being sacked, why not Lambert ?

There's plenty of talk about him being sacked. The bookies think he'll go too. You can get 2/1 at Betfair on "no managerial change" before the first game of next season.
