Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[myf]

How many times have we been bashed by 4 goals this year. Possibly another record broken? It's shocking how regularly this team just totally collapses

Second time this season we've lost by 4, the other was Spuds in the LC.

I was thinking conceding 4. Think its 4 in the last 7?

I dread to think what next season will be like if the Insane Clowns Posse are still with us.

4 times in the last 8. The only league games this season we've conceded 4, it's bizarre how we've gone from okayish in defence to shit.

What did i realistically expect tonight? Well i predicted 5-0 on the pre match  thread so i should be pleased it was only 4-0 . This villa team under this clueless manager is so bad that i expect to lose and lose heavy in most games we play .3 out of the last four away games we have conceded 4

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.

It was tongue in cheek

[Simba]

What did people realistically expect tonight?

Exactly what we got.  I think that's the point.

Indeed.

Nobody is surprised we looked like Burton Albion away at Everton in the third round of the FA Cup.

They are just annoyed it has got to that point.

[Tom_Mc9?]

The sad thing is that tonight could have happened to just about any team in the league.

[manic-road]

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

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.

Probably what most teams do there.

[Simba]

Can't agree Tom. Everyone and ourselves expected it - of Aston Villa. And worse WE are relieved that it wasn't worse.

We are cannon fodder. Most of the other teams at 'our' end of the table have found fight in them.

[Villafirst]

You could argue that this squad is worse than the O'Leary squad at the end of the 2005-06 season - we won't reach the 42 points achieved that season. What sort of legacy is that from Lerner after 8 years? He's wrecked the club and the sooner he sells up the better! Lerner=failure.

If we'd gone for it and got thrashed 8-0 like at Chelsea would you have been pleased?

he parked the bus and lost 4-0

Meh.

They have £20+ million players in near enough every position. We don't.

[pauliewalnuts]

Meh.

That's fair enough for tonight, but what about when Stoke rampantly bummed us in the face at home and stuck four past us?

Anyone who thinks people are really just moaning about tonight is kidding themselves.

[saunders_heroes]

Meh.

They have £20+ million players in near enough every position. We don't.

And what's the excuse for all the other times we've been thrashed this season?
