Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Nastylee]

I don't get why anyone would get worked up about this. Our season ended when Norwich didn't beat Chelsea. We lost because Man City are better than us.

Amen

[silhillvilla]

We actually did really well for 63 mins then it was embarrassing

[Villafirst]

To think Benteke won't play until November! How depressing is that? Randy: please sell-up and go!

Because all of us care about what is happening to our club.

You can fuck off now Lambert and take that useless purple dot with you

Bit harsh but that's down to Legion, not Lambo so blame him.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I care too. I was annoyed when we lost to Palace (twice), Sheffield United, Shit FC and AFC Crap, but losing away to title-challenging Man City when we have bugger all to play for is hardly a reason to be grasping for the Prozac.

[Duncan Shaw]

The good news is, for some unknown reason, we are live again on Sunday!

[Duncan Shaw]

Sky seem a bit deflated by it all!

[SoccerHQ]

We all now there are major issues and problems at this club that need to be rectified this summer. We were always going to be soundly beaten tonight as we always are at this stadium (even when we were good). Only positive to me were Grealish and Robinson getting more minutes.

[Tom_Mc9?]

It's because we're playing the glamour boys of White Hart Lane. Why wouldn't anybody want to watch?

Theres not an ounce of quality in our squad bar benteke! Tonight not one shot on goal and not one decent attack! It was like watching an old fa cup tie. Division one against vauxhall conference! In fact all our games are like that these days!

Theres not an ounce of quality in our squad bar benteke!

And Delph. And Vlaar. And Guzan.

And Bacuna, Westwood, Kozak and Weimann at times.

And hopefully Okore

Guzan - Free
Lowton - 2 million
Bertrand - Loan
Baker - Youth
Clark - Youth
Vlaar - 4 million
El Ahmadi - 2 million
Westwood - 2 million
Delph - 6 million
Weimann - Youth
Bowery - 500k

What were we expecting really?  The commentator said their front 4 was worth more than 6 times the worth of our entire 11.  Well in my calculations, they had a player on the bench in Fernandinho who cost twice the worth of our entire team.  To defeat these odds twice in a season was never likely, but it illustrates how fricking tough it is.  I am not sure Lambert could have done much more with the players he had available really.  We could hardly go gung ho, 2009 seems a long time ago when you compare the Villa and Man City teams of then to the ones of today.

Apart from hitting the bar that would have made it 2-1.

Bacuna's "defending" for Toure's goal was so amateur. You know you're never gonna catch the most powerful dribbler in the league when he gets past you, so I don't know, maybe try and block where he's looking to go instead of trying to race him?
