Manchester City v Aston Villa - Match Thread

[CJ]

How many times have we been offside when we create a chance 

[supertom]

Offside. Offside. Offside. Offside. Offside. Offside.

[django]

Players offside, but on the upside plenty of players getting into the box.

[SamTheMouse]

Learn to look along the fecking line! Good build-up again, though.

[Dave]

Guzan has had 2 good seasons yes.  Doesn't mean he should escape criticism for a dodgy spell in this one.

He shouldn't escape criticism, but criticism isn't the same as saying that he should be dropped for an inferior goalkeeper just for being at fault for one goal.

Much the same as Benteke shouldn't be dropped just for missing one simple chance.

Pissed of with off sides

[LeeB]

The only thing we have to fear is ourselves.

[Jimbo]

We're up to our old tricks again. Complacency and stupidity. Credit to them for getting back into the game, but without so many stupid decisions and needless offsides, we could be level.

[Nelly]

Overall, a very decent half. We've bossed them in my opinion. Up the Villa.

[brontebilly]

Disgrace for first 20 mins, Dominant for rest of half. So much so that Im disappointed that we havent equalised.

Id bring Nzogbia in for Westwood at the break, City are here for the taking. The likes of Toure and Lampard arent trying a leg for them in midfield.

[Tuscans]

To be fair apart from one mistake which we all make every day so I don't have a problem with that unlike others, then City haven't really done anything to worry us and we could easily be level.

Come one lads a big 45 from you.

[PaulWinch again]

Well after the start would have taken 1-0 at half time. Could really do with getting something from this game though.

[l_mckay]

Shocking for the first quater of an hour,really come back into the game now though and could easily be level at half time. Come on villa second half!!!!!

[aj2k77]

Guzan has been pretty shit this season. It hasn't been one or two mistakes, he's flapped a fair few crosses too.

[SamTheMouse]

We're playing much better football under Sherwood. And I don't think it's just about him being a cheeky chappie.
