Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Percy McCarthy]

Done by a dodgy keeper and linesman. I'd give Given at least a couple of games before the final.

Victory snatched away, to get nothing is sickening.

Positives should have won, would never have come back or played remotely like this under lambert.

Negatives: should've held on.  Three catastrophic defending errors, we are still right in it. 

But I think we will be safe with 36 points.

[Loxton01]

Deserved a point. Played very well must stay playing like that on the front foot!

Guzan needs to be looked at can't afford mistakes like that.

If only lambert went earlier

Need something next week

Mike Dean was ref. Never expect more than the shaft from him. Well done Villa for recovering. Let's take the confidence on and win the 3 home games. We will do Southampton too.

[LeeB]

Should have won, which says it all.

We're fucking great to watch, I'm in love again.

[Deano's Mullet]

I don't feel too down. Stupid errors but we really were good. Compare this to the 4-0 last season where we just went to defend defend defend and collapsed completely after the first goal. We played some lovely stuff and against a lesser team would probably have got a point but teams like City can afford to play poor and still have goals in them and win games. Slightly disappointed but then anything from this game was going to be a bonus. If Sherwood can bring in some of his own players and clear Lambert's deadwood - Mr Westwood and Mr Richardson amongst them - we will be fine. CNZ did more in ten mins than Westwood did all game.

Deserved something out of that game but like it has been all season stupid mistakes have cost us over and over again.  I'm gutted.

Really should have got at least a point. Shoddy defending for all 3 goals.

[Goldie.7]

We should of had a pen so should of they. After today we have a worse GD and no points.

*must try harder and concentrate more.

[LeeS]

We are a team transformed. Excellent game. Entertaining stuff. Shame about the result.

[Rudy65]

If you're going to lose at Man City, then that is the way to do it and at least take something from the game.

We look confident going forward.

Shaky at the back, to say the least, but to only lose so narrowly having thrown one in in the first couple of minutes isn't so bad.

Were we shaky at the back?

Not so sure

Gave them the first. Richardson had no brain or balls for the second. Third was a bit dodgy, but overall defence was good. Guzan had virtually nothing to do

[aj2k77]

Guzan has been way off form this season. Surely Given has to be knocking at the door now. We played pretty well but I'm more than sick of conceding late goals, one of these seasons it's going to cost us dearly, I hope it's not this season.

[FrankyH]

Fight , Villa have it now.
It's been missing for years.
One of their  players probably cost more than our squad .

They were shitting it at the end though.

Unlucky lads , but well done.

[Rudy65]

Good performance. We will be fine

[Goldie.7]

We are a team transformed. Excellent game. Entertaining stuff. Shame about the result.

How....we are still conceding late goals and losing games and points because of this.
