Aston Villa getting utterly obliterated vs Manchester City Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

Is there a case to be made for persevering with Smith?  Window is still open, the season is still salvageable.

Before today we'd actually won 2 of our last 4 in the league so run is nowhere near as bad as what Bournemouth are on.

I wanted him out v Watford but at least changing the formation v Burnley showed he could change from his default setting.

Today has been embarrasing but since the day O'Neill worked out our record and performances v the top level teams has been damaged limitation.

I just wish for once the club could wake up and sign some decent players. If Wolves can do we should aswell. Three years ago they were managed by Paul Lambert and Weimann was their star striker.

Is Douglas Luiz genuinely Brazilian?

He seems to struggle with 5 yard passes.

A complete charlatan is what he is.

[Bad English]

0-4

Jesus!

[PeterWithesShin]

Conceding right on half time has fucked us.

[Legion]

5-4, we're gonna win 5-4...

[AsTallAsLions]

Some boos at HT. Not everyone.

[DB]

They gave up before a ball was kicked. Basic errors and poor players

[Toronto Villa]

Just a fucking calamity in every single sense of the word

The most worrying things for me are that we don't look like we care, we look incredibly unfit, and that it doesn't really need to be Man City levels we're up against, we are woeful most of the time, regardless of the opposition.

I can handle losing heavily, but at least look like we are trying.

Finding ourselves without a striker at this point of the season is also gross fucking negligence.

[Jon Crofts]

Loads of kick off practice though, I bet we don't practice that in training.

Pretty sure Jesus was saying to Fernandinho "this is so easy bruv."

Remember we beat Leicester and this is the opposition in the cup final. People thought the Arsenal final was as bad as it gets, think again.

[Drummond]

We're not the first and won't be the last to be on the end of this. But fucking hell I hope it stops happening so fucking often.

You've got your work cut out for you today Drummond.

Meaning what exactly?

[themossman]

Bad time to concede, that.

[richtheholtender]

We aren’t ever going to consistently play well in football matches with Taylor and a Luiz in the team.

[brontebilly]

He might be hard to get hold off because he has homes in Lancashire, London, Portugal and Dubai but I really think we need to give Big Sam a call. I am convince he would keep us up.

No-one would keep up that group of players I'm afraid. Lightweight, gutless and snail paced. Our midfield three in particular are a disgrace.
